Students celebrate 150th anniversary with kids across Canada
Lucky students in North Battleford had an opportunity to connect with other kids from across Canada on Wednesday, as part of a project to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.
The event called Kids Meet Canada is being touted as Canada’s first live national kindergarten to Grade 8 Class Meet Up.
Connaught Elementary School was selected to represent Saskatchewan – and was one of six schools from Newfoundland to British Columbia taking part in the project.
“It’s the first time this has ever been done – a coast to coast webcast or Google Hangout,” teacher Jamie Whitt said. She helped organize the local event.
