District 16 recently acknowledged the accomplishments of 26 students at the annual Turnaround Achievement Awards Dinner at the Rodd Miramichi River Hotel. Each of the districts’ schools, three area First Nation schools and the Learning Centres of Rexton and Elsipogtog selected a student that had found academic success having overcome obstacles that had interfered with their progress. The recipients were honoured by their teachers and family as well as school and district administrators. Each had their accomplishments highlighted through a video presentation to the large audience as they received their award and a gift. The evening was made possible through the generous support of the Chatham Rotary Club. Club members Leon Bremner and Bruce Rendell addressed the recipients and congratulated them on being recognized for their accomplishments. The awards were presented by District 16 Superintendent Nancy Bucher and the district’s director of education Andy Clarke.  To see photos from the evening visit  Turnaround Awards 2012 .
