At the final Portage la Prairie School Division Board meeting for 2017-2018 last night, the Board presented La Verendrye School resource teacher Pam Frank with the Excellence in Teaching Award. 

Colleagues attended the presentation with her, and shared with the Board the impact Frank has had on the students' lives. They noted she always makes them feel welcome in the resource room, and has helped improved grades by improving the students' sense of self and academic skillset. 

Frank says she's honoured for the nomination from her co-workers, but ultimately shares the award with them, as she says it's the team that helps the kids thrive. 

Frank has worked at LVS for the past ten years.
