Yk1 trustees thanks supporters of pancake breakfast

During the Yk Education District No.1 board of trustee meeting last week, trustee member Mildred Wilke thanked the department of education and NWT Food First organization for their support of the Yk1 pancake breakfast held earlier in the month.

Food First provided oranges and milk for the event and the department of education provided prizes drawn for the math challenge. The event was open to the public and offered people a chance to meet Yk1 school principles.

Staples offers school supplies

Staples office supplies store in Yellowknife has raised $3,048 for Yk1 students who can't afford school supplies.
