St. John Chrysostom Catholic Elementary School in Newmarket, Ont., had the privilege of showcasing its Remembrance Day activities to the Ministry of Education’s digital media team. The Ministry of Education was looking for school-based Remembrance Day activities that demonstrated how Ontario publicly funded schools show respect for the men and women who made sacrifices for our freedom. They thought St. John Chrysostom CES’s activity, where primary and intermediate grade students worked together to create a poppy wreath that was used in their school’s Remembrance Day ceremony, was a perfect representation of how schools can help students learn valuable lessons about peace, freedom and the importance of remembering.
Thank you to Principal Todd Wilkinson and all the students and staff at St. John Chrysostom Catholic Elementary School for sharing their Remembrance Day ceremony with the world.
