Turtle River School Division finished off a great week of activities and events in different schools strong with local country musician Jerry Sereda.
On Friday, April 15, Jerry Sereda capped off a week of events and activities that ran throughout Turtle River School Division by completing a marathon day of presentations and performances. Jerry started the day in Alonsa at 9 am and then went to Glenella School for 11 am to present to both Glenella and McCreary School students. He then went raced over to Ste. Rose School to present to École Laurier and Ste. Rose School students at 1:45 pm.
The event coordinator, fellow teacher and principal, Jason Nadeau, commented by saying; “Whenever you can provide engaging and interactive presentations such as this to students, in the schools, it makes a difference. It shows students that we care and that they are important. It motivates them to stay in school, work harder and do their best.” Jerry’s presentation and performance consisted of speaking to students about important topics along with playing some related songs.
His stories were inspirational, regarding personal experiences of triumph and to never give up. Jerry spoke about cyber bullying and how tough it is for students to never give up. Jerry Sereda is not only a Nashville Recording Artist, but he is also a teacher. Jerry was locally raised in Ethelbert, Manitoba and understands the challenges of education in rural Manitoba.
Jerry did a fabulous job interacting with students and discussing important and difficult conversations. Jerry’s presentation capped off a busy week in Turtle River School Division. Schools all ran their own events during the week, with the division assisting schools with a presentation on Tuesday, April 12 from Ryan Laird’s “Bigger Than That!” tour, celebrating a “Day of Pink” on Wednesday, April 13 and then finishing the week strong on Friday, April 15 with Jerry Sereda.
