Our Walk to the Cenotaph

Crossing at the crosswalk.

We moved our walk to Friday last week and Ms Knoll walked with us to the cenotaph. For some students it was their first time seeing this monument. The singing of O'Canada was beautiful as we stood in the sunshine around the Canadian flag.

Here are our thoughts:
I saw soldiers' names. -Adria

We are forever grateful for the bravery shown by the young people from this area who fought for our freedom. Because of the sacrifices of so many, we are able to live safely in a beautiful country. We are fortunate to be able to play freely, which is what we did in Memorial Park after our ceremony. Lest We Forget.
