As part of our Remembrance Day Liturgy on November 11th (which our morning class will be leading) we ask for a few volunteer students to bring something special from a family member or long ago relative who fought in WWI , WWII, or any other war and speak about them. We also want students who have Peacekeeper or Military family members to share! We update a school video every year that is played during the liturgy. This year, we have about 4 or 5 interview spots available in our video.
Check out the homework tab this week as soon as you can! The guide is there to fill in! If you can share something about your family for Remembrance Day, bring in an item or photo by Wednesday of this week and we will film it.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

That mark our place: and in the sky

Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
