The Grade 7 & 8 class has been busy studying the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Since this year marked the 100th anniversary of the infamous battle that lasted from April 9-12th, 1917. The picture is the Vimy Ridge Memorial in France and has engraved on it over 11 000 soldiers names who fought in the war and who's final resting place was never found.
