Two RDCRS students nominated for Honouring Spirit: Indigenous Student Awards

Last evening, we recognized two incredible students on their nomination for an Honouring Spirit: Indigenous Student Award.

Benton Sewell, who attends École Our Lady of the Rosary School, and Michelle Renouf, who attends St. Martin de Porres School were nominated by their teachers for the award, which recognizes First Nations, Métis and Inuit students whomodel strength and commitment in the pursuit of their personal education paths.

These awards celebrate the unique qualities of students "who inspire their peers, teachers, education leaders and community members while celebrating the ways of their people. Each student embraces their own gifts, strengths and potential, respecting the agency of other students to do the same in their own ways."

The awards are an initiative of the Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA).

Congratulations on your achievements, Benton and Michelle.
