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
