SCS celebrates a tight-knit class of '22

Steinbach Christian School has sent off 43 graduates.

The tight-knit group was represented by Joel Peters, this year’s class valedictorian. 

Peters has attended the school since grade five. When he found out that he was chosen by his classmates, he felt "excited" and "honoured."  

He says over the past eight years, he has grown in character and gives credit to the staff and his peers for helping him do so. “They all bring something important to the class and I believe that they'll be able to bring that with them wherever they go,” said Peters.
