The Flin Flon School Board met last night for their final meeting of the current school year. Grade seven Ecole McIsaac School student Jarek Osika gave his presentation on his experience this past May in Regina at the Canada Wide Science Fair. Over four hundred science students from across Canada were in the Queen City for the country’s most prestigious youth science fair. Jarek’s project on his homemade radio telescope was selected from the regional presentations earlier this year. Jarek is currently hard at work planning to improve his research for next year’s competitions. The video presentation can be viewed on the 102.9 CFAR facebook page.
Superintendent Constance McLeese reported the Division will pilot a reading apprenticeship program. Staff will be taking training courses to improve reading skills in grades five through eight. The training is funded by the Minister of Education. The Board would also like to thank Wings Over Kississing for the recent flights for all grade six students on June 21st. And in closing Board Chair Murray Skeavington congratulated this years graduates, wishing staff and students the best over summer.
