A lovely tribute during this Remembrance Season: rocks painted with Remembrance Day motifs and laid on the Rothesay Cenotaph by Ms.Tilley’s Grade 3 Class at Rot...hesay Elementary School. I was very touched to see this display as I walked across the Common yesterday. We can’t remember in our usual ways this year- kudos to these students for finding a meaningful way to remember.
