Assumption Convent School once again held a beautiful Remembrance Day memorial on Friday.<\/p>\n
The high school\u2019s special assembly commemorating Armistice Day remembered all those fallen in conflict around the world.<\/p>
At 11am on November 11, 1918 the guns fell silent across the Western front as Germany signed the Armistice Treaty ending Word War One.<\/p>\n
In the months that followed, the fields of Flanders were filled with poppies.<\/p>
Poppies are now worn on this day to remember the fallen in all wars.<\/p>\n
The girls bought poppies to wear for the day and all their donations went to the SA Legion, which assists with the welfare of war veterans.<\/p>\n
