STUDENT Q & A

Clearview Public Schools students Q & A with local government officials

May 31, 2019 | 7:11 AM

STETTLER- A panel of officials made up of Town of Stettler CAO Greg Switenky, Town of Stettler Mayor Sean Nolls, County of Stettler Reeve Larry Clarke and Clearview Public Schools Board Chair Greg Hayden recently met and fielded questions from grade six students from Stettler Elementary School.

Teacher Erin Prehn shared, “We were incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with our local government representatives in Clearview’s and the Town’s Board Room. Learning from a textbook is valuable, but it is a whole other experience when you can connect the learning to real-life situations.”

Some of the students shared their thoughts, and the comfy chairs seemed to be a big hit:

“I loved how the council chamber was set up and the very comfy chairs that they had in a cool setting in the shape of a circle. I also liked how cooperative the council people were around us and when they answered all our questions very honestly.” ~ Trista Street

“We had an incredible time at the town chamber learning all about the amazing town council members. All of my classmates and I felt very “powerful” in those very comfortable chairs. We had a pleasure meeting all of you in person.” ~ Cassie Savage

“It was a delight to be in the chamber with all the officials. what they talked about was mostly review, but it was so much more interesting than reading out of our textbook. What they had to say seemed to stick in my brain. We were able to sit in the comfy councillor chairs, and it was a real treat.” ~ Amy Aicken

The students have been learning about municipal government in their Social Studies class and wanted to see the whole process in action.
