Lest We Forget

Together as a school community we gathered to honour those who fought for our freedom.

After the ceremony, we took time to reflect independently about the assembly, about 

what Remembrance Day means to us and what we are thankful for.

-  I'm very sorry for everyone who lost a family member because of wars. I hope everyone that died in a war is resting peacefully.

- I felt sad for the people that list their lives fighting for us.

- Je veux remercier tous les soldats qui ont bataillé ou qui bataillent présentement pour la paix. Si on n'avait pas ces personnes qui ont bataillé pour ous, on n'aurait pas de paix, il y aurait juste de la guerre.

-I liked when I put the candle on the cross. I liked the songs from the band and choir.

-I remember a picture of my great Grandpa with his military uniform on.

- Ce jour de reconnaissance me fait sentir vraiment chanceuse d'être ici et qu'il y a les personnes qui nous protégent; elles sont les bonnes personnes du monde.

- J'ai aimé la personne qui a joué la cornemuse.

- I think of my great uncle who was in the army. My Grandma keeps his helmet on top of a bookshelf with a bunch of things with great stories. The helmet has a dent in it from a bullet.

- I thank my great Grandpa for going to battle for freedom and peace.

- Merci à les personnes qui ont sauvé tout le monde. Merci à mon grandpère qui a sauvé moi et ma famille.

- I am thankful for the teddy bear I got after getting a heart transplant.

- I liked the song from choral.

- Je suis triste parce que les personnes sont mortes dans les guerres.

- I'm thankful that nobody I know was in the war or was hurt in the war.

- Merci les soldats pour la paix et la liberté.

- I feel sad right now because of the sacrifice the brave soldiers of our country made for our freedom.

- I was touched by the little song and showing the pictures because that can stay with you forever if you have a good heart and a remembering brain for those who are not with us anymore.

- My great-great Grandpa, John Berg, had a revolver in the war and we still have it today.

- Today the ceremony was very well done and it made me remember people who fought for everyone so that people could be alive. It also made me remember that people have lost loved ones because they were keeping us safe.

- I'm thankful for the soldiers who fought for our country.
