School on the Move

A Fort Frances school has been recognized by the Ministry of Education as a 'School on the Move.'

Principal Teresa Dennis says the designation for St. Francis School recognizes the progress its made in student achievement in the areas of numeracy and literacy.

"They are working, not only in academics which we have very high expectation throughout the school," says Dennis, "but also working on spiritual growth, character development and we consider those as the cornerstones of the learning process."

Dennis says credits the entire school community for the school being just one of 33 schools and the only one in northern Ontario to be given the designation.
