Global Citizens Rewarded

Posted: December 2, 2013

ASD-N students attending the We Day Atlantic Canada event last week had a very rewarding and motivating experience. Students from Bathurst High, Superior Middle School, North and South Esk Regional, MVHS, JMH and Nelson Rural School made up a sizable contingent. Their involvement, by invitation only, speaks well for the awareness of global citizenship in district schools. Global citizenship is considered by many educators to be an important component of education for theĀ 21st century. Pictured here are members of the Nelson Rural School delegation along with guest speaker Spencer West. Below is a report from Mrs. Ellen MacDonald of Nelson Rural School that outlines the experience and conveys the impact the event had on those attending.
