Fort Simpson (July 01/05) - Marlena Tsetso didn't miss a day of school this year.
Actually, the 12-year-old Bompas elementary student hasn't been absent for three straight years.
Ben Vandell, left, and Tim Gargan-Lacasse took home the citizenship awards from Bompas elementary school this year. Their exemplary conduct in school and around the community earned them the distinction.

What makes her so committed? "My auntie forced me to go to school everyday," Tsetso said with a smile.
But her teacher, Greg Nolan, gave her a book award for working on her assignments to the best of her ability, so she does more than just show up for class. Tsetso said that she really enjoys school, especially spelling and gym.
