Mr. Paul Miller: Thank you, Speaker.
In May two thousand and eight I told the Legislature about the deteriorating facilities at Winona Public Elementary School.
Winona Public School has grown in leaps and bounds from its humble beginnings as a small rural school. The current facility is now home to over 650 students and serves as a glowing example of educational achievement.
I am excited to announce that the school will be relocating to a brand new facility following the Christmas holidays.
A tribute to the school will be held tomorrow night. This event will allow students, faculty, alumni and friends the opportunity to reflect on the rich history that has characterized this institution and to celebrate that the school will finally have a facility that mirrors its reputation within the community. Congratulations.
I would also like to congratulate my constituent and friend Judy Kloosterman on her new position — beginning in the new year — as a Community Developer in East Hamilton.
Judy has given 18 years of unparalleled dedication to our community as Co-ordinator at CATCH; a group providing supports for children and families in East Hamilton.
She will undoubtedly bring this same spirit and enthusiasm to her new role. The people of Hamilton are lucky to have her working in our community.
Congratulations Judy! I look forward to continuing to work together for years to come.
