Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all our wonderful Moms, Grandmas, Aunts and women who have shaped us into who we are today!

Yesterday, we honoured Sadako Sasaki with the making of peace cranes with our buddy class.  Sadako was a strong, young girl who enlightened the world with her hopes of peace and the making of 1000 paper cranes.  She was challenged by leukemia due to the radiation she experienced during the atomic bombing of Japan.

A monument stands in her honour in Hiroshima, Japan and Division 10 and Division 6 were pleased to continue her legacy by making cranes of peace.  Thank you, Ms. Benson, for this opportunity.  As a school community, we are hoping to make 1000 paper cranes.

We also shared our thoughts about what Peace means and listened to Susan Verde’s book, I Am Peace!

We hope that you all have a peaceful, Mother’s Day weekend.
