New Myrnam School’s Annual Spring Showcase

Grants were displayed, with passionate students sharing about each one. Our Net-Zero golf carts, which were once destined for the dump now can be found cruising around some of the local lakes purchased by the County of St paul. The Cool Bus, which is currently being converted into a tiny home will be complete with a wood stove, solar panel and many adventures, The Net-Zero Project, which students are trying to achieve Net zero in the community C-tec building through the use of solar energy. Our backyard poultry project was also out for display. The students working on this project were able to successfully change a bylaw in Myrnam so that community members are allowed to have chickens in their backyards. Students were excited to have community members to ask questions about their work and show off their desire to achieve greatness.

Also, a team from ALUS came to speak about the project we have been working on with them. They had a solar powered watering pump to show off, that is soon going to be installed at the ALUS test site students have worked hard to design.

The evening ended with a talent show put on by the senior high music class, with some special ethnic performances from junior high students followed by open mic for various students wanting to show off their talents. The event was a large success for the school, and us students are thankful that we were able to show our work off to such a large audience. We are honored to have guests such as MLA Jackie Armstrong-Homenuik, Mayor of Myrnam Donna Rudolph, and County of Two Hills members Reeve Don Gulayec and councilor Murray Phillips. Executive Director of Inside Education Steve McIsaac and Education Program Lead Laura Pekkola were also finally able to make it out to check out the school. These and so many more were able to come and finally see all the projects we have been talking about all year. Thank you to everyone who helped to put this together, and to everyone who came to check out our school!
