@AcadiaU: where your senior class fieldtrip interviews community members, local businesses, & incredible organizations like Grand Pré National Historic Site @ParksCanada_NS. Then they create strategic plans & ideas & present the information back to these groups❤️ #LikeNowhereElse

[Acadia Community Development Program @AcadiaCommDev]

@BookerSchoolNS I completely agree with this! One of my children went here for two years and still wishes they could go back to the fun, supportive and engaging life at Booker :)

[Acadia Community Development Program @AcadiaCommDev]

What a beautiful winter day for the senior student field trip in Strategic Planning class! An incredible opportunity to partner with Grand Pré National Historic Site @ParksCanada_NS, and learn more about the broader community history, needs & concerns. @AcadiaU #LikeNowehereElse

Last couple of days of classes here on campus, as students wrap up assignments, faculty wrap up marking, and exam studying is on the horizon! Here's a little treat I brought to my first-year student class, to remind them to be proud of what they've accomplished this term 👏❤️
