Students, parents and teachers gathered in the gym at Sylvan Lake schools to commemorate Remembrance Day.
Every school in Sylvan Lake took time out of their day on Nov. 7 for a solemn assembly to mark the 101st anniversary of the end of WWI.
Students at the school preformed in choirs, recited poems including “In Flanders Fields”, laid wreaths at the foot of a cross or cenotaph and prayed for those who fought in the conflicts since the Great War ended on Nov. 11, 1918.
Everyone in attendance at the events around town took the time to pay their respects during the playing of the “The Last Post” and a moment of silence.
The schools were joined by members of the Sylvan Lake Legion, and cadets, Girl Guides and Scouts wore their uniform.
