Students Win Legion Contest

Four Grade 9 Social Studies students got a surprise during class when they received prizes for their entries in the local Legion’s Remembrance Day contest.

Geoff S. won first prize for his poem, Grace M. won first for her colour poster, and Rosa V. and Juliet M. won first and second prizes for their black and white posters. The entries for this annual contest had to include symbols depicting Canada, war and peace explained Mr. Bill Cairns who presented the certificates and cash prizes on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Malahat Branch 134. All the first place works will now compete at the district level and could eventually go all the way to Ottawa to be judged at the national levels.
