Summer Literacy Program Lauded

A summer literacy program piloted by the Keewatin-Patrica District School Board this past summer is being described as very successful.

Students in grade one, two and three took part in the summer camp at Sioux Mountain School.

Carol Hron is the superintendant of education for the public school board and says they could look at partnering with other communities if the interest is there.

The program was funded by the Council of Directors of Education.

Students attended the literacy camp for six hours a day, five days a week for six weeks.
