Local teachers named for McDowell Foundation award
It’s an exciting time for a team of teachers at John Paul II Collegiate who are named for this year’s McDowell Foundation Award for work on a new student program at the school.
The award is granted for outstanding contributions to educational research in the province of Saskatchewan.
Ramona Stillar, Light of Christ Catholic School Division project coordinator, said the 12-member teaching team was awarded for their work over the 2016-17 school year which involved implementing the PACE initiative for students.
“We were very honoured and humbled, and somewhat surprised because there were so many projects selected in this past year,” Stillar said. “We’re really happy that we’re doing something good for kids.”
