Trail Talking

Student Citizenship Awards

On April 20, I had the opportunity to speak in the Legislature about two more Dawson Trail heroes, Kaelie Spokes and Sarah Voth. Both students, who are in kindergarten and Grade 5 respectively, have been nominated by their teachers for Seine River School Division Student Citizenship Awards in their age groups.

The Seine River School Division recognizes the importance of affirming young leaders, and these two students are being recognized as exemplary in exhibiting kindness and a willingness to volunteer in the classroom. Kaelie’s welcoming nature and willingness to help others, regardless of ability, is commendable for her age. And Sarah’s reputation for volunteering, going on missions trips and playing sports has made her a standout nominee. Both will continue to do wonderful things in any community they are a part of; Dawson Trail is lucky to have them in ours!
