Touching ceremony as Red Deer students pay tribute to military veterans leading up to Remembrance Day

From Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools

St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School students paid respect to Canadian veterans, by participating in “No Stone Left Alone” at the Red Deer Cemetery. At a short Remembrance Day ceremony, students placed poppies on veterans’ graves. Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer attended.

The ‘No Stone Left Alone’ program provides students of all ages with the opportunity to engage in the act of remembrance in a way that is authentic, meaningful and powerful. For our children, most of whom have grown up in a time and place of peace, it helps to expand their understanding of war, loss, peace and hope. By placing poppies on the graves of the courageous men and women who fought for our country, our students can see the real impact that war has, and can reaffirm their commitment to maintaining peace in our world,” said Humanities Lead Teacher, Jessica Maloughney at Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools.

The No Stone Left Alone Memorial Foundation is dedicated to honouring and remembering Canada’s veterans. Their unique ceremony provides students and youth with an authentic experience that creates knowledge, understanding and appreciation of those who serve and of the sacrifice of Canada’s fallen.

“I hope that by participating in ‘No Stone Left Alone’ students will have that opportunity to deepen their understanding of why participating in Remembrance Day matters. I think this opportunity will help students make a personal connection and/or allow them to honour their family members that have served or are currently serving,” said Teacher Dana Blair, at St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School.
