Longview students and staff are so proud of Brielle Goss for being honoured by the Royal Canadian Legion for her Remembrance Day Poster. On Thursday, May 5th at the Turner Valley Branch during a moving awards ceremony and reception, students were recognized for their artistic and literary talents around the theme of Remembrance. All the students did a wonderful job in recognizing those individuals, past and present, who have served our country during war and peacekeeping missions.  Everyone at Longview School would like to send a big Thank You to Mr. Day and everyone at the Turner Valley Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion for everything that they have done.

The first, second and third place winners in each of the artistic and literacy categories were announced. Students were escorted by the Sgt. at Arms to the front of the room. Veterans expressed their appreciation for the wonderful job the students had done and students were given an award. Brielle's submission was a beautiful black and white pencil sketch entitled 'The Cost of Freedom' which included a large cross with a long shadow, smaller crosses scattered all over a hill and a large Canadian Flag in the middle. All the posters and stories/poems were posted on the walls around the Legion for everyone in attendance to view.

The Legion was full of proud students, parents, brothers/sisters, grandparents, teachers and friends because of the important accomplishments of these students. Brielle won three different awards for her poster, to her surprise. She received first place in the youth category for black and white posters. She then received first place for the poster at the Area Level and second place for the poster at the District Level. Brielle and all Longview students are very proud of their school and take great pride in being an eagle. The saying is, 'Once an eagle, always an eagle' which is about the qualities, characteristics and behaviors we foster in our students. It is very important to our school that our students represent themselves, as well as, their school to the highest standard possible and they know it. At Longview School we have many reasons for being proud and we celebrate them at every opportunity. Congratulations Brielle for always 'Doing Your Best' in everything that you do and for representing yourself, your family and Longview School so very well!!
