A Wawa student will serve as one of the Algoma District School Board's student trustees next school year.
The board says Annika Morrison - a Grade 11 student at Michipicoten High School - is one of three student trustees appointed for the 2021-2022 school year.
Morrison's touted as a school athlete who serves as a Summer Camp leader and a dance assistant, as well as a "dedicated student" who has been the recipient of "many school-based awards", a "strong advocate at the school, for herself and others", and a member of the MHS Spirit Council, who helps organize game days, spirit weeks, school contests, food drives, and fundraising events, while taking part in Student Senate events like the Senate Gala, Student Voice forum and Bon Soo Olympics.
Also appointed as student trustees are Shail Giroux of Korah Collegiate and Manook Wilson of Elliot Lake Secondary School, who is the next Indigenous Student Trustee, succeeding Chapleau High School student Amara Ruffo.
