Remembrance Day
Today was a very special day at Evanston Heights School. We welcomed families, community members and a veteran of WWII that is 103 years old!, to our Remembrance Day Assembly. Our amazing choir, Grade 8 band, MCs, speakers and students in uniform made significant contributions to our ceremony. Each student contributed an original poppy. A huge thank you to the many staff members that made our first whole school assembly so significant and powerful.
