Plans for next year.

So, the school year is almost over and much of our leadrship class is graduating. As a last hurrah, here are our plans for the summer and next year:


Riley Von Niesson:
Riley von Niessen will be leaving Invermere in the fall to attend the Univeristy of Toronto. Best times in leadership we're going on trips to Vancouver and Toronto for public speaking and volunteering at various events such as the Christmas Craft Fair and chairing the annual seniors tea and a kicking horse coffee fundraiser. As a member of DTSS leadership for two years my time spent volunteering and developing leadership skills has been very rewarding.

Melissa Kashuba: 
My plan this summer is on June 19th, I am going to Beijing, China for almost 2 weeks on the BCCIE (British Columbia International exchange) program. I don't plan on working this summer because I am going to be gone for more than half of it.
     Next year I will be entering grade 12 and I will be volunteering with Colleen Wagner, owner of the Desiderata Health and Wellness studio as a dance instructor for the younger children. In the winter months I will be working part time at the Fairmont Ski Hill Resort for the 2nd year in a row. Next year I also plan to take my NLS so I can work as a life guard the year after I graduate to make money for University.

Blake Beggs:
In the fall I plan to attend SFU to take Criminology. My highlights of leadership include Debate, Debate Camp Canada, Lions Recycle for Sight, The Laird Breakfast Program, and CNIS.

Kyra Grocutt:
Next year, I plan to attend University of Calgary. I will be earning my Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Psychology.
Throughout this year, I have done many projects that I am very proud of. I started off the year by helping with the Breakfast Club program, where we served breakfast for kids at J.A. Laird. It was a great feeling helping them. Next, Jackie Wagner and I organized our school's Remembrance Day Assembly. It was a very taxing and difficult job, but the end result was something I am very proud of. Also with Jackie, in Janurary we visited Eileen Madson Primary School for a week to assist in their intramural program. We helped to teach kids about basketball and was a very positive, fun environment to be in. I've had a great year in leadership.


Blayr Lightfoot:
In the fall of 2012, I will be attending the University of Lethbridge for a bachelor of nursing. It is 4 years, and the first two are at the Lethbridge College. I am looking forward to embarking on this adventure.
The activities I am most proud of this year in leadership are:
- The Breakfast Club because it was really heart warming to see all those kids light up when you walked into the room.
- Reading to the E.M.P. kids, because it was beyond adorable and knowing I was helping them was a good feeling.
- helping with the Snow Ball dance, because it was our last Snow Ball and because we were helping out with the charity as well.
& - The Christmas Craft Fair, because it really got everyone into the christmas spirit and was just an overall fun time!
