As the sunlight has melted some of our ice and snow away, construction teams have started to section off their work spaces and started on our locker rooms and office spaces. I am again feeling very thankful for the support from our community to make these upgrades possible. Our staff and students have been terrific, as we have adjusted to life with construction.
We hosted our College Fair here on Wednesday. It was great to hear the students talking about the conversations they had with representatives from post-secondary institutions. I appreciate all of the representatives that supported our students as they answered questions about future planning. Thank you to Barb Nelson, Kelsey Milne, Laura King, Heidi Cosgrove, and Kara Mueller for their efforts to make this special Advisory Lesson happen.
