At many locations, the security shutters cannot be raised without power, further limiting visibility and access to natural light within the classrooms.

2017 Leaders of Tomorrow: Hudson Longden – Yennadon
Hudson Longden is a wonderful leader at Yennadon. He has been one of our representatives at District Student Advisory Council and is faithful to his monitoring duties to a Grade 2 class where he is an excellent role model for the younger students.
Hudson volunteers in our school to emcee school speeches and talent shows. He participates in athletics such as hockey both in school and outside in the community. Hudson will be heading off to high school at Thomas Haney Secondary at the start of the 2017-18 school year. They will be lucky to get such a wonderful leader there. His long-term goal is to become a professional hockey player or a pilot.
About Leaders of Tomorrow
The Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (SD42) has teamed up with the Maple Ridge News to celebrate local students who are making a difference at school and in the community. Elementary and secondary students featured as Leaders of Tomorrow were picked by their principals for making positive achievements in academics, sports, arts and community involvement.
The list is just a sample of outstanding students in the school district selected by their school during the 2016/17 school year – there are many others who were equally deserving of recognition for their exemplary achievements both inside and outside the classroom.
Every Tuesday throughout the school year, SD42 will profile a student selected as one of the 2017 Leaders of Tomorrow.
