Waskatenau school given $10K donation: LCSD

Holy Family is celebrating the kind nature of their community in Waskatenau after a generous donation was made to their school. 

A $10,000 cheque was presented to the school through the Shane Stachnik Scholarship Fund in conjunction with the Waskatenau Royal Canadian Legion #261.

“Sgt. Shane Stachnik was committed to helping others, and this donation truly honours his legacy. We are so grateful to the Legion and the community for the generous donation to our school,” said Farrah Ollikka, Holy Family Catholic School Principal.

Sgt. Shane Stachnik was a former student who was killed in Afghanistan in September 2006. 

In 2008, the school dedicated one of their halls to his memory.

Holy Family will form a committee to determine how the school will use the donation.

“We are so grateful for the funds and look forward to finding a project that will benefit our students for years to come,” Ollikka said.
