St. Andrew’s reflects, remembers

Junior high and senior high students at St. Andrew’s School in High Prairie marked Remembrance Day with its special assembly Nov. 8. Members of the High Prairie branch of the Royal Canadian Legion were special guests. Students read several poems and readings to reflect on Remembrance Day and the poppy. Videos of war were presented, including Remembrance Moments: Canada’s Indigenous Veterans. Students also read an Act of Remembrance and Commitment to Remember that both end with “we will remember them”. Elementary students held a separate assembly earlier in the morning.
