Graphic novels are on Monday this week. On Wednesday we have a school Remembrance Day ceremony and our class is going to sing a song called, "Highway of Heroes." It's a beautiful, touching song that honours Canadian soldiers. On Thursday, Mr. MacQueen and our class will be taking a bus to the Remembrance Day ceremony at GISS, then we will be going swimming at Rainbow pool.
