GNS: CVS Students Win Literacy and Art Contest
Posted on:
Four Grade 6 students from Crescent Valley School in Hinton were recently recognized for their submission to the Legion Remembrance Day Literary and Art Contest. Their work will advance to the next level of competition.
For over 50 years, The Royal Canadian Legion has sponsored annual Poster and Literary Contests that are open to all students in the Canadian school system.
Through The Royal Canadian Legion's longstanding annual Poster and Literary Contests, Canadian school children honour Canada’s Veterans through creative art and writing and help perpetuate Remembrance.
The Royal Canadian Legion, in partnership with schools across the country and with The Legion National Foundation, promotes remembrance and supports youth education through the annual poster and literary contests. Through their local schools, students in Grades 1 through 12 are invited to submit their creative works, with a focus on Remembrance, to Legion Branch contests. Winning entries move forward to the Legion’s Provincial level contests. Finalists are then forwarded to the Legion National Foundation in Ottawa to be judged at the national level. The youths who participate in these contests assist the Legion in one of their primary goals— fostering the tradition of Remembrance amongst Canadians.
Proud winners from Crescent Valley School - congratulations!
