Our Peace Assembly #3 : Grade Ones - it's a sign

Our grade ones know that even if you can't hear, you can sing. You just need to know the signs!
We sing Oh, Canada every day as school starts, but it has special importance within our Peace Assembly. We celebrate our own country's contributions to peaceful life on this planet and we pay attention to how important it is to us to feel that our freedom to choose our way of life is secure.

Our grade ones featured in an earlier video, but this rendition of Oh, Canada shows superb polish, so here they are, again!

Our Peace Assembly: #2 - Kindergarteners have got the whole world in their hands

Our three morning kindergartens sing at our assembly.
Their spirit can really make us believe it's all in our hands....
Now, what will we do with "it?"

Our Peace Assembly

November 11th is a special day here at Nelson Mandela Park. As a community we meet together and recognize that when our most important values have been threatened, such as freedom, equality and respect for life and our planet, brave souls have gone off to foreign places to fight for these essential ideas. Many lives have been saved by such action, but untold millions have given their lives......
Right now, there is war. Canadian soldiers battle for these same values far away in Afghanistan, and many have been injured, many have died. We raise up our hopes on this day especially, together, loud and strong, that peace will soon prevail on our planet.
