In a moving display of remem-
brance the St. Anne's drama stu-
dents performed a piece for stu-
dents, staff, community members
and veterans on Nov 10.
Drama teacher, Crystal Bren-
nan, said the students wanted to
focus on the role that women
played in the world wars. The
drama classes worked for over a
month to create a piece that
incorporated the stories of veter-
ans who fought in WWI and
WWII as well as the soldiers who
continue to work towards peace
today.
The interpretive theatre piece
was to enable students to engage
and connect with the stories of
people who fight for freedom,
Brennan said.
We have a responsibility to
show the students what it means
to remember those who sacrifice
and that, as Canadians, we didn't
do anything to deserve a peaceful
life other than be born in a free
country, Principal Jodi Kuran
said.

than a moment of silence, the stu-
dents and staff never got a chance

Love yotar family
to appreciate the sacrifice of vet-
erans together. It started small
with just the history students but
eventually grew to include the
whole school.
Clinton Legion president Pat
Lafferty said it was good to see the
performances and students get-
ting involved in Remembrance
Day. The ideas came from the
minds of the students and
allowed them to better connect
with the story.
