Every year, Nelson Elementary School collects donations to raise funds in support of Veterans and their families.
All students will receive a poppy after our assembly on Friday, November 10th. We are encouraging families to donate a loonie or toonie if possible. Thank you, your generous donations are so very much appreciated.
We also invite families to join our assembly at 10:40 am.
