Some recognition for students and staff at Our Lady of the Way School in Stratton.
The school was recently cited by Northwest Catholic District School Board trustees for its family literacy nights.
Education Director Mary-Catherine Kelly says children and their parents benefited from the activities.
"It engages the parents in the school," says Kelly. "When the students are engaged with their parents in reading, we know it makes an impact on the student's positive outlook on education. The children's achievements are improving and the parents are supporting their children's reading at home. The families have lots of fun when they come to the school."
Kelly says staff organized a number of interactive events that helped make learning fun.
