The Palliser School Division pleased to announce that Megan Leusink has accepted the role of Vice-Principal at Jennie Emery Elementary School, commencing August 25, 2021, for the 2021-2022 school year.

Myers High School in Taber, AB, instructing French, English, Language Arts, Math, and CALM.

“I believe that a school should be a place that students look forward to attending and where families and community members are valued and connected,” states Megan. “Students should be respected, cared for, and given opportunities to grow. If we focus on effort and improvement, our students’ knowledge will grow and they will find success.” "Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or the same way." - George Evans
She is very excited about the opportunity to join the Jennie Emery Elementary team and looks forward to building strong relationships with students, families, and the Jennie Emery Elementary community at large.
