While this year's Remembrance Day ceremony looked a little different than those in the past, Tuesday at DVG was nonetheless an impactful, powerful day of remembrance. Leading up to Remembrance Day students had the opportunity to reflect on what peace means to them, explore life during both WW1 and WW2, research into Canada's role in both wars, some group reading time in the library, and art projects. We carried out a virtual ceremony in the classroom with powerful student readings, impactful videos, and 2 minutes of silence. All this lead to powerful conversation of what it means to live in Canada and ways in which we, as individuals, can honour the sacrifice made by others. Grade 7s also took on the role of creating a Remembrance Day wall display that serves as a visible daily reminder and showcases student research and art.
