Cenotaph Visit

Luckily it wasn't raining when the Grade 1s planned to walk to the Cenotaph on Monday morning. We all stood around the Canada flag and sang O'Canada beautifully. Ms. Knoll read the names of the people on the Cenotaph and we recognized that some of the streets in the area are named after these people. It was a perfect visit as we have been talking about peace and Remembrance Day. The Cenotaph is located at Memorial Park. This park provided us with some exercise and play before we returned to school. The students did a great job listening respectfully as the names were read from both sides of the Cenotaph. The smiling faces and carefree play made my heart happy. We thank those who have given so much for our freedom.
