As family and friends gathered at C200 on June 9, 2005 two First Nation students were presented with a certificate and a copy of this years children’s book, Friends Forever.  The entries for this book were from children attending provincial schools in Cape Breton.  One story or poem was chosen from each grade of each school.  There were over 800 students who had a story or poem published this year.

Each child was recognized for their talents by the Cape Breton-Victoria School Board and The Cape Breton University.

Alexander Paul, of Membertou had his poem chosen for this book.  He is a grade 5 student attending Shipyard Elementary School located in the Sydney Area.  Alexander is now in Grade 6.

Riveriah Denny also of Membertou had her story chosen to be published.  She is a grade 2 student attending Shipyard Elementary School.  Riveriah is now a Grade 3 student attending Membertou Elementary School.

This is a great accomplishment for these students as they were recognized for their talents.  Keep up the good work.  Also congratulations go out to all the students who had their stories published in this book.
