A Great Silence Was Heard At General Lake
Remembrance Day
On November 11, 2011 staff, students and parents joined together to show their respect to our military heroes. The Student-led Service began with an entrance from our official flagbearers, Liam Jobe and Matthew Wallace. Then the Masters of Ceremonies, Taylor Sullivan-McElroy and Cortlin Docken took over with inspiring words about courage and peace. The program included a moving reading of ‘ In Flander's Fields’ by Daryl Sullivan-McEnroy and MacKenzie Dunham; poetry readings from Ms Graham's Core English classes, and an original song from Mrs. Langille's Grade 5/6 Class. The Service ended as students paraded silently by 'Our Heroes' tribute and gave a quiet thank-you to all those that have served proudly for our country. Thank you to Mrs. Grant for providing the decorations, Mrs. Marquardt's class for leading the Service; and Ms Legault for coordinating the efforts. A special thank-you to all the parents who were able to join us in observance of this very special day. Also, as part of a General Lake tradition, students entered the Royal Canadian Legion’s poetry and poster contest. Congratulations to Ryan Muise, 2nd Place Primary; Kaylee Granter, 1st place Colour Primary; Grace Elizabeth McLean, 1st place Intermediate Poetry; Danielle Edwards, 1st place Junior Poetry; Morgan Verjans, 3rd place Black and White Intermediate; Erin Stacey 2nd place Black and White Intermediate; Mitchell Smith, 2nd place Black and White Primary; Sydney Robinson 3rd place Colour Intermediate; Remi Lavoie, 3rd place Colour Junior; Katie Williams 1st place Colour Intermediate; and Melora Twomey, 2nd place Colour Intermediate.
Quote of the Day
Remember that if the opportunities for great deeds should never come,
the opportunities for good deeds are renewed day by day. The thing
for us to long for is the goodness, not the glory.
