On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, we pause to remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Lest we forget. Could not be prouder of the way our students observed our 2 minute silence & remembrance this morning.#ArmisticeDay pic.twitter.com/u1oPxvj4er— David Lovell (@d_lovell5) November 11, 2024
