Remembrance Day Virtual Assembly on Tuesday, November 10 at 10:30 a.m.

November 1, 2020

Dear Parents. Guardians, Students:

Our Remembrance Day Assembly will be a virtual one this year, with students remaining in their classes while a video of the assembly is played.  This video is a cooperative effort between South Slope and BCSD and will contain many of the traditional parts we have come to know and love such as “In Flander’s Fields” in ASL, and our candle lighting ceremony.

Students are welcome to bring a donation to the poppy fund for veterans all this week.  Please put your money in an envelope or baggie and give it to your teacher.

On Tuesday, November 10, we are asking that South Slope students wear their white tops and dark pants/skirts/tights this day as a sign of respect for all the men and women who have served our country and sacrificed their own lives so that we can continue to enjoy the many freedoms we have to this day.  Bryan Adams, a Canadian musician, wrote a song honoring the people who have received the Victoria Cross which is the highest  medal of valor given in Canada.

Music Reflection – Term 3

“I think music in itself is healing.  It’s an explosive expression of humanity.  It’s something we are all touched by.  No matter what culture you’re from, everyone loves music.” – Billy Joel

A New Activity for Everyone! Music Autobiography Project – May 25 – 29

MUSIC AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Songs, or instrumental pieces have special meaning in some families.   Often this song makes you remember events from the past, or is a special song that everyone loves to sing.  Choose a song, or instrumental piece and reflect on the piece by completing the Response Sheet.
