This past Tuesday night the Flin Flon School Board met for the first regular meeting of the new year.  Ecole McIsaac School Principal Miranda Bowman along with Vice-Principals Jodi and Pawlachuk and Sylvie Dufour were on hand with a presentation on the school’s goals and happenings for the year.  The ladies each took turns outlining the variety of programs such as numeracy, literacy, reading apprenticeship, truth and reconciliation, engagement and all the extras that are available for the students.  The breakfast program is very popular as well as the Bomber Buddies and students getting out of the classroom to sing at the Manor.  The staff has created a fun atmosphere for learning and has found success working together.

Former Trustee Angie Simpson also presented the Board with a proposal regarding a Voyageur canoe program for the Division’s students.  The pilot program would coincide with Manitoba 150 celebrations, Culture Days and is related to the Division’s curriculum.  Greg East and Crystal Kolt were mentioned as willing partners.  The Board thanked Ms. Simpson for her presentation saying they would be discussing the topic at a later date.
