Impactful individuals recognized by Peigan Board of Education
BROCKET, AB – The Peigan Board of Education has launched its first-ever Poster Campaign.
The initiative aims to recognize and honour people from the Piikani Nation who have served the community with distinction. Another goal is to inspire students.
“It’s to encourage our students here on the [Piikani Nation] to strive for excellence and to encourage good daily educational habits; going to school on a daily basis, looking at student retention, you know, staying in school, graduating, acquiring a diploma and just seeking out how to utilize those skills and move on to whatever aspirations that they may have, just like the people that [are] featured in the posters,” said Leroy Crazy Boy, Structural Readiness Coordinator with the Peigan Board of Education.
Crazy Boy said the initiative has been in discussion for “quite some time” and many names were brought forward for consideration, before the final 10 were selected.
