Students tend veterans' gravesites

Respect
cemetery

Leadership students from Elphinstone Secondary School volunteered their time on Nov. 9 to tend to the gravesites of fallen veterans at Seaview Cemetery as an act of honour and remembrance. Students removed moss, raked leaves, weeded and cleaned, while reflecting on the sacrifices made by the people laid to rest in the special veterans section of the cemetery.

Other students who volunteered that day were Wilson Mearns, Cobey Hollier, Quinton Ruth, Sam Knight, Grace Ridd and Emily Jaschinski with the support of teacher Sarah Mani.
