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.

The Eleventh of November By Rebecca It was the 11th of November, and it was time to remember the soldiers who died, and also who cried. I am sorry for the soldiers. It was the 11th of November And it was time to remember The soldiers that fought For CANADA'S freedom. I feel sorry for the soldiers It was the 11th of November And it was time to remember The poppies that grew, And in the air they blew. That why on the 11th of November We take time to remember.
