Today we had a Remembrance Day liturgy in our school's gym. We remembered those who died and those who had to go to war to fight for our country. A police officer named Constable Salinas spoke to us about the importance of being a peacekeeper. He said he gets to be a peacekeeper each day and its his favourite part about being a police officer. He said that his brain and his heart are the most important tools we can use to be peacekeepers in our community. He left us with a question: What can you do to help your community? How can you help keep the peace in your community? Talk to your child today about how we can do these important things. If we work together, we can all be peacekeepers!
Students also got to hear a few peace songs and listen to Jesus' gospel about love and peace.

How will you show you remember? We used the Twitter hashtag #werememberocsb to share some ways we can show peace and remember on Remembrance Day. Ask me about this today!
