The Lester B. Pearson School Board Community Honours Remembrance Day
by Marilyn Santucci
On November 11, Remembrance Day, citizens across the nation paused to honor the members of the armed forces who sacrificed their lives in service and those who continue to defend freedom today.
Schools across our community came together to honor Remembrance Day with deep respect and reflection. Students and staff participated in processions and ceremonies to pay tribute to the brave individuals who have served our country in times of war and peace.
At 11:00 AM, schools and head office observed a moment of silence, united in remembrance of the sacrifices made by so many for the freedoms we enjoy today. From classrooms to assembly halls, the atmosphere was one of solemnity and gratitude as we reflected on the courage and dedication of our veterans and fallen soldiers.
Lest we forget.
