Local schools honour veterans with Remembrance Day Ceremonies

Schools around Weyburn held Remembrance Day ceremonies this week to honour the sacrifices made by veterans for our freedom. Discover Weyburn attended the ceremonies at Legacy Park Elementary School on Tuesday and Assiniboia Park Elementary School on Wednesday.

Legacy Park began with the entrance of the Colour Guard. The grade two classes then performed a song titled "Kindness" followed by the grade five classes with "Everyday Heroes". Mrs. Abel's grade six class then recited a poem.

Assiniboia Park also began with the Colour Guard, the grade one students the recited "Brave Soldats", and grade five students recited "In Flanders Field" by John McCrae in English and in French. The entire school then sang "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan.
