Rolla Traditional School held their annual Presentation of Learning on Wednesday as a celebration of the accomplishments of the K-7 children.

Principal Joanne Dueck said the day was the students’ chance to look back at the year’s activities.

“Reflection is a really powerful form of learning and this is their chance to reflect upon the year’s learning experiences,” said Dueck.

“We’re so happy that everyone could be here today and you can see by the kids’ expressions that they’re taking all this to heart. They’re showing a lot of pride and self confidence today.”

Before the presentations, Dueck said the kids would be showing a video about water that many participated in creating.

Kathy Sawchuk, superintendent of School District 59 (SD59), was also in attendance and she said she wanted to come and celebrate with the kids in their exhibition of learning.

“I wanted to hear from them first hand about what their experiences have been like this year at Rolla,” said Sawchuk.

“I also wanted to hear their water presentation. They are learning through an exploratory basis about water versus a traditional basis and I think this will have a long-term impact on them.”

During the showing of their video about water, the children of Rolla set out to convince their viewers in the gymnasium that water is a “precious resource that needs to be preserved.”

The video itself was the culmination of their work over a period of a couple months that hoped to educate present and future generations about the value of water.

The presentation was mainly about the students getting up on stage and announcing their views on using water, by using it sparingly and making sure that it doesn’t become polluted.

With some forgetting their lines, they quickly recovered and received thunderous applause from the parents and audience members.

Myles Handsor and Amy Crandall, were two students who participated in the water presentation, spoke to the Dawson Creek Daily News after the presentation.

“I think it was really interesting to learn how much water we have in the world and why we’re running low,” said Handsor, a grade seven student.

“I messed up my lines but I think it went really well.”

“I thought it would be fun and I liked learning about water, and doing things for the school,” said Crandall, a Grade 6 student.

Towards the end of the day’s festivities, several awards were given to students for their academic prowess and many awards were also given to the staff for their work in their various departments at Rolla.
