I have been actively involved in the parent council for Nicholas Sheran School for the last 4 years, as an attendee, a division council representative, and as chair of the `Friends of Nicholas Sheran Society’ associated with the parent council. The society works alongside the parent council on fundraising efforts and parent-driven initiatives. The society has provided resources to the school and supported teacher appreciation initiatives. I have also been heavily involved in organizing the Lethbridge Regional Science Fair over the same time period, which has a very high proportion of participants coming from the Lethbridge School Division.
