“You are making an impact”: Local teachers recognized at ceremony – SteinbachOnline.com [Video]

Recently, outstanding graduating students of the University of Manitoba were nominated by their faculties to recognize the role of two teachers that made important contributions to their education: One from between kindergarten and grade 12, and the other from their university years.
