Memory Wall at MTS
For Remembrance Day, students are invited to contribute to a Memory Wall honouring a family member who has participated in a war or military service. Participation is optional.
Students can pick up a brief template from their teacher to complete with a photo, their family member’s name, and why they remember and honour them.
Completed templates are due by November 9 and will be displayed on a special Memory Wall outside the gym.
Families are invited to attend our Remembrance Day Assembly on Tuesday November 10 at 10:30am.
