Today, Hammarskjold came together to honour and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our country through an educational Remembrance Day service shared over announcements.

Organized by Mr. Trewin and Mr. Timko, the meaningful presentation included PowerPoint slides for classrooms to follow along with, historical lessons, readings, poetry, and, of course, the solemn playing of The Last Post. These thoughtful elements provided an opportunity for our students and staff to reflect on the importance of Remembrance Day and the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy today.

We would also like to thank Ms. Johnston for inviting staff and students to engage in reflection over the past couple of weeks by colouring poppies. These individual contributions came together to create the beautiful poppy curtain featured in the background of our photos: a wonderful visual reminder of the meaning behind this important day.

A heartfelt thank you to our organizers and to the students who helped bring today’s service together: Ella Challen, Layla Timko, Hailey Schultz, Amelia Nodin, and Kate Seibel. Your time and efforts helped make this a relevant and meaningful experience for our entire Hammarskjold community.

Lest We Forget. ❤️

A great day for our Hammarskjold High School Tiny House and KZ Lodge students!

They headed out on the land to help MNRF with fish stocking, alongside students from Nipigon-Red Rock High School’s Tiny House program.

Such a nice opportunity for students from different schools and First Nation communities to spend time together, try something new and make some connections along the way. Lots of learning, laughter and good memories made!

A special thank you to all the Elders, Knowledge Sharers and teaching staff who helped make the day so meaningful.

Good learning happens when we get students outside the classroom and bring people together. Grateful for these opportunities and the partnerships that make them possible!

Happy Halloween from our Grades 10 and 11 Foods classes! Our students had a spooktacular time carving pumpkins and roasting seeds. Here are a few snapshots of their creative (and delightfully spooky!) masterpieces!

We hope everyone enjoyed a treat-filled Halloween night and is enjoying that extra hour of sleep with the clocks falling back! 🍂⏰
