Friday, November 11th is Remembrance Day.
We will be honouring Remembrance Day on Thursday, November 10th at Willow Park School.
November is a good time to reflect on our history.
We have a great collection of fiction and non-fiction books on display in the Learning Commons to honour Remembrance Day.
