Current Hanover School Trustee Shannon Friesen has announced she will run for re-election in Ward 1 this October.

“Over the last four years I have gained must knowledge and experience regarding public education. If re-elected I would continue to focus on communication and collaboration between school and home,” informs Friesen. She adds that seeing each of her four kids go through the school system has shown her first-hand the impact the division can have.

“I am also looking forward to helping complete the new high school in Niverville,” Friesen continues, “The community has patiently been waiting for this and I am thrilled to be a part of the building committee.” She indicates many other buildings within the division could use upgrades as well, which she would advocate for in the case of her re-election.

Finally, Friesen wants to continue developing the division’s deeper learning program which comes alongside students, giving them the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Friesen believes every student should have a desire to learn, and, as a re-elected trustee, she would take steps toward making that a reality.
