This is not the first time Justin has bought poppies for everyone in the school, here's last year's article from The Hamilton Spectator. Justin explained to the class that he bought the poppies again because "my grandpa and my great grandpa fought in the war and I want everybody to wear a poppy." He goes on to tell us that last year he was affected by the news of Corporal Nathan Cirillo's death in Ottawa.
Myles thinks poppies are a symbol of peace because when we put them near our hearts we keep the soldiers in our hearts. Isabella adds, "they represent how many people have fought for the peace of our country."
Owen says, "the whole school is thankful for Justin's donation."
This has been a shared writing piece by the 6/7s. Thank you for reading!
