City Hall School 10th

|
|
|
|

Councillor
K. Leibovici, on behalf of City Council, recognized City Hall School. What began
as a pilot project with just a handful of students, has grown into a
full-time program that gives Edmonton children the opportunity to learn more
about municipal government and our city in a hands-on and interactive
environment. Students not only come away with an increased
sense of civic pride but a richer understanding of the vast programs and
services the City provides to meet the needs of Edmontonians. A
warm welcome was extended to L. Hut, City Hall School Coordinator; K. Nichols,
Arts and Education Coordinator; and grade 1 students from
Meadowlark school, and their teacher L. Huang.
