War touches ch A BIG part of Remem- brance Day ceremonies is “making sure that the next generation doesn't forget the sacrifices made by the last. And that’s what local Schools did last Friday, as each had their own unique way of remember- * ing. At Kiti K’Shan Primary . two legion members spent the morning talking to each class, and handing out poppies. Frank Bowsher recounted the story of how the poem Flander’s Fields was discovered, and told a class of grade ones why the poppy was a symbol for Remem- brance Day, “A doctor noticed one day how the graves of Soldiers were covered with poppies,” he cx- plained, Across the — school teachers tried to empha- size that the process of peace begins when you’re young, and can be found even in the school yard. During - an assembly held Friday afternoon the school showed slides of children cooperating with each other. They were as simple as the kindergar- ten class lining up neatly, children playing nicely and just having fun on the playground. Grade one student Dane Cameron narrated the show. Skeena Jr. Secondary also held Remembrance Day ceremonies on Fri- day. The theme was how war affected children. Students read stories from children in war-tomm countries, and how war had affected their lives. In the past decade armed conflict has killed 1.5 million children, the students learned, and dis- abled another 4 million children. Even when wars end, devices such as land- mines slill kil! and cripple children. eA z eet : LEGION MEMBER Frank Bowsher pins a poppy on the chest of Kiti K'Shan grade one student Eric O'morrow.
