Today, students, staff, and families across the UGDSB pause to observe Remembrance Day. Together, we honour and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our country, recognizing the profound legacy of veterans and active-duty service members.

Through classroom reflections, artistic tributes, and assemblies, our schools are dedicated to keeping the promise alive: Lest we forget.
