Blooming Greens School has held a solemn and inspiring ceremony to mark Armistice Day, also known as Remembrance Day in Commonwealth nations.

This day, observed annually on November 11, commemorates the end of World War I hostilities between the Allied Forces and Germany, a truce officially enacted at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918.

In a heartfelt message, the school emphasized the importance of honoring those who sacrificed their lives in pursuit of global peace.

“As fallen heroes during the world war are venerated for their sacrifice for the peace of the world, our learners were taught to remember them and also imbibe the spirit of helping and living in harmony with others,” wrote Blooming Greens School in a statement to Allaboutschools.

The students were introduced to the origin of the term “Armistice,” derived from the Latin phrase meaning “to stand still”—a symbolic nod to the cessation of violence. The highlight of the commemoration came as students were asked to stand still, reflecting on peace and serenity.

Following this moment of silence, teachers reinforced the powerful message of peaceful coexistence across cultures and nations.
