This month The Dominion Institute's Memory Project will be coming to our school on Monday, December 15th. This initiative brings students and veterans together to prompt meaningful discourse between the two groups in the hopes that their memories of battle will not be forgotten. This project will involve a number of our Grade 5 andGrade 8 students, where they will be given the opportunity to meet the veterans in a relaxed atmosphere to talk to them and learn from them firsthand what they experienced during their tenure in the military. The hope is that these students will take the stories and experiences they hear to heart and become the ones to impart this new knowledge on to their friends and siblings so that their efforts will never be forgotten.
