Each year, Adam Robertson Elementary School students and teachers gather for an assembly to mark Remembrance Day. The assembly is highlighted by a play, written and directed by Tanya Poznikoff and presented by her Grade 7 students (last year's was Blowin' in the Wind — story here and photos here).
This year was no exception as the entire school population filed into the auditorium in silence on Nov. 10, then remained silent through the play, Sounds of Silence. The students honoured a request not to clap their hands, and sat through the heart-rending play and several musical presentations before exiting the room, still silent.
