Two LCCVI students become trustees
May 6, 2018
LCCVI will be well represented around the table at the Lambton-Kent District School Board.
Two students have been elected to sit as trustees. Autumn Bressette will be the board’s first indigenous trustee and Lexi Graham will serve as the student trustee for Lambton County.
Both are excited about the possibilities of being able to make a difference not just in their schools but across the region.
Graham wants students to know they have a voice and can express their opinions. She vows to bring those opinions to the decision makers. But she also wants students to recognize how fortunate they are to be in a public school in Ontario.
