The Grades 4/5 Class teacher told a moving story about her Grandfather who was seriously wounded at Vimy Ridge. The students were encouraged to write a poem or letter about Remembrance Day. Some of the students chose to write a letter home to their parents, as if they were soldiers fighting on the front, while others chose to write poems about Remembrance Day.

Remembering By Ben Every Remembrance Day I remember the letter that told me My friend was dead. I am so sad Matt died And thankful that I am alive. Matt died for a good reason, To set us free So we can live a good life. But we must give something back To our brave soldiers and friends. So we wear a poppy. They would be happy and proud to see That we respect them and love them That is why We have Remembrance Day, To remember.
