PEISTA's New Executive

At a recent STA meeting, Anne Miller, representative of the Eastern School District, was elected Vice-President of the Association, and Nancy Wallace, representative of the Western School Board, was elected Secretary-Treasurer. Congratulations to both!

The Executive of the Association also includes the President, Marie Dionne-Sullivan from the French School Board, who was elected as President last June.

These three ladies will be working very hard for you over the next few months, along with the other Directors on Board, Jay Gallant (FSB), Dean Bryan (WSB) and Francine Arsenault (FSB). There is presently a vacant seat which will be filled by a trustee from the ESD.

Enjoy the Friday night banquet at the Marble Mountain Resort, take in some night skiing, meet some fellow trustees from around Atlantic Canada, love the charm of Corner Brook, and take it easy at the Holiday Inn... All this at the Atlantic Conference 2006, January 26th to 28th. Consult your board for more details.

Make sure your seat is reserved on that special flight to Deer Lake! See you there!!
