It seemed like just an average assembly for students at Assiniboia Park Elementary School Tuesday morning. For some of the students, though, they were wondering why their parents were lined up at the back of the gymnasium, many with cameras at the ready. 

As the assembly went on, principal Dan Manning explained why the parents were there - eight of the students from Assiniboia Park Elementary had placed in the top three of the Remembrance Day Poster and Poetry contests held by the Weyburn Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Applause rang out from the assembled students and staff of the school, and the parents at the back, as the names were called out of each student who received an award for their submissions. 

Here is the complete list of the recipients of awards at Assiniboia Park this year:

3rd Place - Junior Black & White Poster - Elizabeth Gill
