What
emembrance may means
to LCPS student
In the followingparagraphs I will give
you my ideas of what Remembrance Day
means to me. To me, Remembrance Day
is a day to remember the soldiers who
fought forms in the wars. To begin with, on
November llth our school .pays its tribute
to Remembrance Day by going to the
church service held at a local church. We
then go to the cenotaph. At the cenotaph, a
chosen person is asked to lay a wreath for
our school. That wreath shows just how
much we care about those who fought for
us.
Remembrance Day is very special for our
community. Remembrance Day reminds
me of the poem In Flander's Fields. I think
that we should be very proud of the men
who fought for us in the war. We should all
realize how much they risked their lives
and suffered for us.
We are lucky that we have freedom in
our world. We wouldn't have freedom if
those men didn't fight in the wars. The
freedom that we have includes a govern-
ment where the people elect it; freedom of
the press, and to worship as we
wish. We wouldn't have these if our men
didn't fight for us.
To conclude, I think that we are very
lucky to have had those men. I am very
glad that we celebrate Remembrance Day
in this world. I feel that those people
should have special recognition!

Education week
a time to
celebrate
As the text on the poster says: "Take
part in Education Week: become a partner
in Ontario's future."
April 23 to 29 is Education Week in On-
tario. To encourage the sharing of
knowledge, experience and resources
described by this year's theme, "Partner-
ships for Success," the Ministry of Educa-
tion has prepared a public service an-
nouncement for television broadcast, and
the poster included in this package. I invite
you to display the poster in your school and
to plan events that celebrate and call at-
tention
ttention to the many educatwi rices
that enhance and enrich our elementary
and secondary school curriculum.
Cooperative Education and Adopt A -
School are two of many programs in place
that promote partnerships in education.
Both encourage co-operation and resource
sharing between schools, businesses, the
community and parents. As this year's
Education Week theme points out, these
partnerships can give Ontario students a
head start on their future careers.
During Education Week, we
demonstrate our pride in our educational
achievements and our confidence in our
school system. It's a time to celebrate ex-
isting education partnerships and seek out
new ones. Your participation .in special
events gives parents and the publican op-
portunityto ,see our education system in
action.
