This week, students in the grade 3/4 classes spent some time reflecting on how soldiers and military personnel have contributed to our safety and society both in the past and present. Working with charcoal to depict the cities they protect, the rolling hills and farmland that we are safe to cultivate because of their sacrifices, and mountains that signify other lands and our global connections, students created a backdrop for printed poppies and messages. We are happy that these artworks have made their way out into the community, to legions and near the base, so that those in service past and present can see the thoughtful gratitude that our students have expressed. Here are a few of the images.
