The staff and students recognize the pride, dignity, and respect around Remembrance Day. To honour the efforts of our armed forces personnel, we gather for an assembly to show our gratitude for the sacrifices being made in the past and present. We encourage retired and currently serving families in the armed forces to reach out to the school to be an honoured guest at our assembly. If you or someone you know are interested in being an honoured guest, please contact the office at 902-465-8670 or email Mr. Ardley at aardley@hrce.ca
To show respect for the memory of those who currently or have served in the military, Ocean View Elementary School will be displaying a Wall of Honour. We would like to acknowledge any veterans or active personnel who are related to the students of Ocean View Elementary. If you are able, please provide a picture and paste it on the Remembrance Day template which will be sent home this week. Students should colour the poppies and ribbon on the template to make it personal.
Note: realizing that some photos may be very old and valuable, a photocopy (or other type of copy) would be preferred. The display will be up on the wall outside the gym for the month of November. Everything should be returned to the students by December.
Please send in your Remembrance Day pictures attached to the template as soon as possible. The deadline for the templates will be November 6th as the ceremony will be November 8th.
