The Manitoba Council for Excep- tional Children hosted the 30th Yes I Can! awards ceremony on Thursday, Feb. 20 at Victoria Inn and Conference Centre in Winnipeg. Juliette Neudert, a student at Warren Collegiate Institute, earned an award in the athletics category. “Juliette loves to be active, and in doing so reaps the rewards for her physical and mental health. She has overcome many barriers in order to compete and succeed as an athlete,” states the awards program. “Juliette has learned to manage her emotions largely through her move- ment.

Often Lent is associated with giving some- thing up, usually something we enjoy, in order to replicate the sacrifi ce of Je- sus Christ’s journey into the desert for 40 days. I know growing up in Ireland it was expected that we children would give up candy and chocolate during this time. Even now as an adult, giving up sweets never bodes well for me. As we start our Lenten journey, in- stead of giving something up, I encour- age you to focus on the Beatitudes, on what you can add to your journey, on how you can make your Lenten journey one of joy and happiness.

8 The Stonewall Teulon Tribune Thursday, February 27, 2020 Interlake School Division ponders proposed budget By Jennifer McFee The Interlake School Division faces the diffi cult task of balancing its budget with a two per cent reduction in pro- vincial support. Members of the public had the chance to learn about the proposed 2020-21 fi scal year budget at an open house event on Thursday, Feb. 20 at the Heritage Arts Centre. “This was another diffi cult budget year for Interlake School Division when you consider that we took another decrease in funding from the provincial government on the basis that we’re projecting an enrolment decline of only 30 students,” said board chair Alan Campbell. “The decline in funding from the province is in excess of $350,000, which is consistent across the province. Any school division that is either holding with enrolment or going down likely saw a two per cent decrease across the board in provincial funding.” The proposed budget shows continued support for small TRIBUNE PHOTO BY JO-ANNE PROCTER class sizes, with an average of 19.49 students in kindergar- ISD Supt.
