The Garden Valley School Division Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Anny Froese to the position of Principal of Prairie Dale School effective September 2023.

As part of its committment to fostering inclusion for all Manitobans, Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning has proclaimed the month of February 2023 to be Manitoba Inclusive Education Month.

The Manitoba Government has proclaimed February to be "I Love to Read month", and Garden Valley School Division schools are joining the effort to promote reading as one of the foundations for literacy development. Reading is an important skill that everyone needs in almost every area of life.

On Tuesday, December 6, 2022, GVSD schools lowered their flags to half-mast in honour of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. First established by Canadian Parliament in 1991, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, also known informally as White Ribbon Day, is commemorated each December 6 as a commitment to end violence against women.

Our GVSD School Board participated in two days of learning at the Manitoba School Boards Association Fall General Meeting on December 1 & 2,2022. School board members learnt what it means to be a trustee and had an opportunity to listen to updates on initiatives from the Department of Education.

The GVSD Board held its reorganization meeting on November 8, 2022. The new GVSD School Board consists of four incumbent trustees, as well as five newly elected trustees. GVSD would like to congratulate Leah Klassen on being elected by the Board to the position of Board Chair. GVSD would also like to congratulate John Klassen on being elected to the position of Vice-Chair. Both Leah and John have served our Board and our division with dedication and passion, and we wish them much success as they begin working in their new roles.

Thank you to outgoing trustees Laurie Dyck, Barb Heide, Tash Olfert, Garry Bueckert and Jake Fehr for your service to the GVSD community!
