2021 Holodomor Memorial Day

 Holodomor Memorial Day is commemorated each year on the fourth Saturday of November as a Day of Remembrance.  It is a day when we remember the millions of Ukrainians who were starved to death in Ukraine in 1932 and 1933.  This man-made famine claimed the lives of millions of victims, many who were just children. 

EUBP schools learn about the Holodomor, to ensure students understand what happened and with awareness, this type of genocide will be prevented from ever happening again. 

Pani Marlis Loughren’s Kindergarten, grades 1 & 2 students and Pani Marianna Cap’s grades 3, 4 & 5 students at Prince Edward School, share their Holodomor themed art work 

Shkola RF Morrison School Students prepared a special virtual Assembly to commemorate Holodomor Memorial Day.  The student created wreath of Forget Me Nots, was placed at Winnipeg City Hall.

Ralph Brown School Students have learned a lot about the tragic history behind Holodomor and expressed their emotions and feelings through the art projects, creating posters and Forget-me-not Flowers as symbols of the victims. And a special announcement was read for the whole school about Holodomor.

Happy Thought School Students in Kindergarten & Grade 1 made the forget-me-nots; Grade 2 students made the wheat stalks; Grade 3 students made the wheat covered Ukraine maps and candles; and Grade 4 students made the hunger spoons. The English-Ukrainian Bilingual Program teachers prepared the electronic slide-show and trophy case display, to commemorate the Holodomor.
