| Victory In Europe Trip - Deadline to Register, January 18: |
| If any student (J4 and up) or parent is interested in joining us on the Victory in Europe trip in early May, please be aware that applications have to be made before January 18th.
This is a wonderful educational experience for students and for adults too. We will be spending several days in Paris touring the city including Versailles, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and a night time boat trip on the Seine River. We then travel to Normandy to visit the beaches where our Canadian troops came ashore on D-Day, and then we follow the path of the army back through France. We continue our visit with trips to WWI memorials at Vimy Ridge and at Beaumont Hammel where the Royal Newfoundland Regiment was decimated on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. The piece de resistance of the trip is our visit to Holland for the 65th Anniversary of the end of WWII when the Canadian soldiers fought to free the Dutch people. There are many ceremonies in which the students will have a major role, and it is rumoured that the Dutch Royal Family and our own Queen will be present.
At the moment we have 23 people enrolled, including several staff chaperones, but we would love to take as many of our older students as possible as this is going to be a trip that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
