As part of Remembrance Day celebrations, students of Holy Redeemer participated in a poster, poem and essay contest sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 9 in Spaniard’s Bay. A winner from each category is selected from each grade level (K-9) and displayed at the annual Remembrance Day dinner held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 9. During this dinner, the 1st and 2nd place essay winners from grade 9 (centered around the theme of Remembrance) read their winning essays. The winning entries of the poster (Primary), poem and essay (Elementary and Intermediate) are then sent to Provincial Command of the Royal Canadian Legion to be judged on a Provincial basis. Congratulations to our first place winner Brooklyn Smith and to Rees Barrett for her second place entry.
