My journey with the Lester B. Pearson School Board began in the 90s, when I attended St. Anthony Elementary School and then John Rennie High School. I still remember walking the halls of Rennie like it was yesterday. One of my favourite teachers of all time – Mr. Addie – actually nicknamed me “Hall Girl.” […]
