Congratulations to

MATTHEW HEWLETT, CALEB TURON and DAWSON KINGSTON!!!

Not only are they brilliant, but they’re humble, too!  They didn’t tell us, but on April 25, 2015, at the Manitoba Schools Science Symposium, MEVA’s youngest members were honoured for trying to improve the lives of people around the world.  For their efforts and their ingenuity, they were awarded gold medals!

So, how did these MEVA members win gold medals?  They earned them!

If these grade 10 Shaftesbury High School students are an indication of what other young people in Manitoba are doing, the future of this province looks very bright!

Once again, Matthew, Dawson and Caleb, on behalf of all of the members of MEVA, congratulations!!!  We can hardly wait to see what you do next!
