Remembrance Day

NOVEMBER 10, 2021 -- Remembrance Day is commemorated on November 11th each year in Canada and marks the ceasefire on the Western Front in World War I in 1918. The armistice (peace agreement) between the Allies and Germany at Compiègne, France took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

On Remembrance Day, Canadians pause to honour the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country during times of war (First World War, Second World War and Korean War), conflict and peace.

All individuals who the SHA considers to be in contact with the positive case will receive a letter from the SHA.

If there are any future close contacts identified at the school, they will be contacted directly by Public Health.

Covid 19

Unfortunately, the SHA has notified us of another positive case of Covid-19. The impacted class and bus will be notified through the classroom Edsby and transportation will provide a letter to students who ride the impacted bus this morning. If you do not receive a letter, your child's class or bus has not been impacted. Covid-19 rapid tests are available at the school for any families with students 11 and under who want them. Call the school at 306 791-8489 to request a rapid test kit.

Remembrance Day Poppies

Although we will not be hosting a formal in-person Remembrance Day ceremony, each classroom will be marking the occasion with in-class discussions, activities and a virtual presentation. Poppies are available for all students to purchase by donation. All funds raised through poppy sales go to the Royal Canadian Legion supporting veterans across Canada. With the lack of in-person services due to gathering restrictions in many places across the country, the legion is anticipating a reduction in funds usually generated through poppy sales.
