Thank you to parents, students and staff

Remembrance Day, November 11

I have pulled a number of books from our print collection to provide knowledge and reflection for Remembrance Day, November 11.

The books on display offer a wide-range of perspectives about World War I (1914 - 1918) and World War II (1939 - 1945) and Canada's involvement in both World Wars. 

A number of books have been written from the perspective of children: diary entries, letters and narratives.

I have included stories about political unrest in other parts of the world. Students and teachers will see their cultural history or lives reflected in the books chosen and be better able to make connections to wars that were fought before their life time.

Poems, stories and songs reflecting the theme of peace offer yet another lens from which to view wars and political unrest. How people make a difference in war-torn countries help broaden perspective.

Clairlea's print collection offers a selection of print materials that reflect the diversity of our school and community and supports a wide-range of perspectives that help teachers and students view war, peace and political unrest through multiple lenses.
