Remembrance Day

Churchill takes time to remember.  Our class did a wonderful job of hosting the sharing.  Every student had a talking piece either introducing someone or presenting with our class.  Then the whole junior division walked to the Westboro cenotaph for the 2pm ceremony.  School of rock performed the two songs from our earlier sharing, to a lot of attention from the assembled crowd.  Students were very well behaved, despite the cold.
