Students hold service of Remembrance
Due to Friday’s inclement weath
er, Hullett Central Public School
held its Remembrance Day Service
in the school gymnasium. Displays
of photos and memorabilia captured
the attention of pupils and adults
alike.
The meaningful service had been
arranged by Mrs. Picked and the stu
dent council saw to it that the service
progressed smoothly. The colour
party was a father/son duo, Sam and
Stephen Dougherty, members of the
Blyth Legion and Air Cadet
Squadron respectively.
Rev. Paul Ross, guest speaker,
drew a parallel between the going to
war of the soldiers and situations
faced by young people today. The
soldiers enlisted to fight in order to
right a wrong being inflicted on peo
ple in overseas countries. Using an
example from his own youth, Rev.
Ross pointed out that although it
may not seem ‘cool’ at times to do
the right thing, the soldiers never
questioned what they must do about
a wrong.
In Flanders Fields was presented
by the Grade 8 class followed by the
poem Poppies by the Kindergarten
pupils. Yes, We’ll Remember was
sung by Grade 1/2 and We’re
Thankful for Remembrance Day by
Grade 2/3. Simply Remember was
the poem recited by the Grade 3/4
class.
A choral offering by the Grade 4/5
pupils fashioned on ’Twas the Night
Before Christmas told of a forgotten
soldier’s Christmas some years after
his war duty.
Obviously class time for Grade
5/6 had been devoted to writing an
essay about what Remembrance Day
means to them. Tony Bean and
Jaleena Middal read their essays as
part of this service.
Why Wear a Poppy, the story of a
poppy seller, a mother who had lost
a son in war, was told by pupils of
Grade 6/7.
Under the direction of Ms. Wyatt,
the junior choir sang, Hands United
in Peace at the conclusion of the two
minutes of silence.
Following each class’s presenta
tion, representatives laid the class
wreath: Adam Westerhout and
Shania Carpenter, kindergarten;
Kelly Cook and Dana Teed, Grade
1/2; Jasmine DeBoer and Ali Snell,
Grade 2/3; Candice DeJong and
Heather Hulley, Grade 3/4; Kendra
Falconer and Rebecca Major, Grade
4/5; Dakota Riley and Nicholas
Salverda, Grade 5/6; Erica Johnston
and Jessica Lowey, Grade 6/7; and
Peggy Hulley and Samuel Huizinga,
Grade 8.
Throughout the service the pupils
conducted themselves in an appro
priately respectful and quiet manner.
Don’t forget the craft show and
sale at the school on Thursday, Nov.
23, 6 to 9 p.m. Quite a wide variety
