NEWS RELEASES

ALGOMA DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD

*************************
Kyle McDonald is a Grade 6 student at Johnson-Tarbutt Central Public School. 

Over the past several months he has presented his oral presentation at every level and has moved on each time. 

Kyle is now set to represent the Algoma District School Board at the Provincial Oral Presentation to be held in May in Sault Ste. Marie.  

Trustees and guests were treated to Kyle’s award winning oral at the Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, April 21. 

Kyle’s oral is on “orals”! 

His humerous content and energetic delivery have contributed to his first place win in his classroom (with Grade 6 teacher Mr. Nye), his first place win at the school level and his first place win at the local legion in Bruce Mines. 

Kyle went on to the district competition in Blind River and to the regionals that were held just this past weekend in Kapuskasing.  

Johnson-Tarbutt Central Public School Principal Maurice Dugas introduced Kyle at the meeting on Tuesday. 

“Kyle is showing tremendous leadership within the school community and courage in his public speaking journey.  We’re so proud of him and where he’s gotten to.”
