Nov. 4, students at High Prairie Elementary School continued a tradition that began over a decade ago by taking part in the No Stone Left Alone ceremony. Students went to the High Prairie Anglican Church cemetery and were greeted by High Prairie Royal Canadian Legion members. The ceremony involved placing poppies at the gravesites of Veterans as a symbol they will never forget the sacrifices made. The unique ceremony provides students and youth with an authentic experience that creates knowledge, understanding and appreciation of those who served and of the sacrifices of Canada’s fallen. Students sang In Flanders Field before placing the poppies. They were taught to place the poppy on the headstone, recite the name of the Veteran out loud, and observe a short period of silence.
