That’s a sure sign of hard work and motivation. A grade 7 student was nominated because she always has positive energy and always participates when needed. And a special Pai It Forward PRIDE Pass was given out last week, a student wanted Mme Blanchard to know that they appreciate that Mme is always being a kind and patient teacher. Love it!
