 Lest We Forget 

Matthew Druzcz, Student Trustee, lays a wreath at the Victoria Park Cenotaph in London, as Wilma de Rond, Director of Education and Bill Hall, Vice Chair, look on.  The three laid the wreath on behalf of the London District Catholic School Board to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives in war so we may live in peace. Thousand of people jammed the park to pay their respects.  The Knights of Columbus was one of the many groups involved in the military parade to the Cenotaph. (Below)  There were Remembrance Day services all across the Board this week, as each of our school marked the day in a special way.  For a look at what some of the schools did, click HERE.

CELEBRATE CANADIAN CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK  November 14-21, 2009

Tomorrow - November 14th -  kicks off Canadian Children’s Book Week to celebrate and educate kids on Canadian children’s literature. Each year TD Canada Trust distributes the gift of a book for each grade one student to acknowledge the importance of reading and literacy. Happy St. Robert students show off their new books distributed by librarian, Leonie Thibert. Across the district, librarians will observe the week with special events, and author visits and create excitement about the magic of reading for learning and pleasure.
