Introduction of Guests (7 May 2025)

From Hansard (7 May 2025)

 

Grade 8 Students from Ituna School

Hon. Travis Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you, first of all I want to thank my colleagues for allowing me an extended introduction. Today we are joined by a fabulous group of students from Ituna School. So this is the grade 8 class, Mr. Speaker. They are joined by their teacher Mrs. Morvik and their parent chaperone Mrs. Keisig.

There is many new members in the Chamber, Mr. Speaker, so I’m just going to start from the beginning. My father attended Ituna School, I attended Ituna School, and both of my daughters graduated from Ituna School. So it’s a very special school to me. They have always been able to attract incredible, talented teachers to work in there and have done a fantastic job shaping the next generation of students from that school.

I reached out to the principal, Mr. Speaker, and asked the principal for a great school project: to ask the students to find their local MLA [Member of the Legislative Assembly] and send a message to him and why they should be recognized on the floor of the Legislative Assembly. Had fantastic answers, very creative and very interesting.

First of all we have to recognize Sophia Kiemele. She is going to volleyball championships right away and she guarantees that they’re going to win a gold medal if she gets recognized on the floor of this Chamber.

We also have Thaya Jankoski, Mr. Speaker. I’m going to be quick. She needs to be recognized because she loves coming to our house for Halloween but I’m never at home to see her, so she’s going to have the opportunity to see me here today. And her brother loves our dog Margo, so that’s always great to see.

And we have to save the best for last, Mr. Speaker. Sadie Keisig, she needs to be recognized because that there, Mr. Speaker, well that’s my cousin.

So anyway to you and through you, Mr. Speaker, welcome these grade 8 students to this, their Legislative Assembly.
