On Thursday, November 7 at approximately 10:30 AM, A.E. Cross will hold a ceremony to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. We will be having our band, SLA and leadership students participate in the ceremony. A speaker from the Canadian Forces will be in attendance and students will remember our courageous soldiers with a moment of silence during the event. There will be limited seating for parents to attend this event.

Please reinforce with your children that Thursday’s ceremony is a solemn one and it is imperative that their behaviour reflects the tone of the event. Hats and hoods should be removed prior to entering the gym that day and there should be no applause or talking throughout the event. Poppies will be distributed to students on the morning of November 7 and there will be an opportunity for students to donate to the Poppy Fund all week if they so choose.
