Drama Award

Eel Ground School Drama club have used Drama to get a positive message of "Hope". They have recently been nominated for the Kiasier Foundation Award of Excellence in aboriginal programming. I am proud to say that they have won this award for the "Simon Bishop Story". With thier efforts to help others on teenage stress and suicide this was thier way to give awareness on how important it is to help individuals that may be facing strees in thier lives, or may be thinking of suicide. They wanted to give a powerful message of "Hope" that there is help out there within your communities wether it's talking to parents, a councillor or and elder in your community. As a parent in this community, I am so proud of these students. These students have used a powerful tool through DRAMA to get ther message out to the communities across Canada, and help those who have been affecting by teen strees and suicide. My daughter and I will be travelling to Calgary in a couple of weeks to accept this award on behalf of the Eel Ground school Drama club, I couldn't be more proud of my daughter Felicia.
