FMPSD is thrilled to announce that Nishka Rai, a Grade 12 student at Westwood Community High School, has been selected to represent Fort McMurray on the Minister of Education's Youth Council. This prestigious opportunity places Nishka among an elite group of approximately 40 students from junior and senior high schools across Alberta. The council is known for its diverse members, encompassing a variety of interests, identities, backgrounds, and perspectives.

The Minister's Youth Council (MYC) is a platform where students from different regions of Alberta come together to share their unique perspectives on various educational topics. Throughout the school year, council members attend three meetings, providing invaluable insights to shape the future of education in the province. The council's term spans ten months, aligning with the academic calendar and ensuring student representatives balance their council responsibilities with their studies.

Please join us in congratulating Nishka Rai on this remarkable achievement. Her selection to the Minister's Youth Council highlights her accomplishments and shines a spotlight on the talent and potential within our school and community.
