Most Respectful School Award

Most Respectful School Award

I don't know if you heard but our little Manitou Park School recently won the "Most Respectful School Award" at the Race Against Drugs competition, run annually by the RCMP and other police services.
To show you the effect of a great teacher, Erin Parker, this year's grade 5/6 Teacher is the same teacher who won with students from Echo Bay for the last two years.
And to prove what effect a great team can have on a group of students, this class has students with many varying needs.
Maria, an Educational Assistant normally working with students in this room was away that day. Roberta Berg, another EA, accompanied the class to the competition and the consistency continued.
Corporal Heyden, the RCMP officer in the picture, said we won "hands down", over 1600 other students. We also came in second or third for the "Big Race". Great, huh?
