Once again in what has become an annual tradition,
students from the Hurley K-12 School went to Montreal to
plant flowers in memory of Montreal's fallen heroes. The
group of students split up into four groups and planted
flowers along the highway.

War addresses students in from of the War Memorial. The
address is usually given by the town's mayor who could not
attend this year's ceremony. Mr. Zaleski gave a
terrific and pointed speech which impressed the students
very much.
