No Stone Left Alone

On November 5, Grade 6 students from Arthur Day, Bernie Wolfe, John W. Gunn, and École Regent Park took part in the annual No Stone Left Alone event. 

RETSD partnered with the Transcona Legion Branch #7 to hold the event, which saw students place poppies on the graves of veterans in the Transcona Cemetery Field of Honour. Every military gravestone was paid respects by one or more students, who saluted veterans during the ceremony. In the days leading up to the event, the students learned about the importance of remembrance and were visited by Peter Martin, Manitoba regional co-ordinator for No Stone Left Alone, so he could show them how to properly salute.
