A recognition of activities at J.W. Walker School at last night meeting of the Rainy River District School Board.
The school's music program and its environmental film festival were both showcased before trustees.
Principal Bill Daley says the music program is just in its third year and has plenty of support.
"The parents are very supportive of the program," says Daley. "The parent council has fundraised every year to provide money for the band. It's an expensive program to run when you consider a bass drum runs about $3,000."
The schools intermediate band now numbers 42 under the direction of Nicole Thompson.
Trustees were entertained with a few musical numbers before watching a film from last May's environmental film festival and later at a similar event in Toronto.
The school is planning to host another festival in the near future.
