JUNE 5, 2019 -- Each summer, the Regina District Industry Education Council (RDIEC) works with several community and provincial organizations to offer Summer Skills Camps focused on hands-on learning for students in Grades 7-9. This year's camps will be held from July 8th to 12th.

May 9, 2019 -- Regina Public Schools’ “Laughter for Literacy” raised $79,000!

These funds will support Summer Success Camps, which aim to improve educational outcomes for Regina’s children by building essential literacy skills, while preventing summer learning loss.  This success is a great example of how the Regina community can work together to make a difference and contribute to the learning and literacy success of students.

This is the third annual and successful event held benefiting Summer Success Camps. Thanks to everyone in the Regina Public Schools Community for making the event and the fundraising a success.

Last year, George Lee School's Advo-Kids (kids advocating for kids) sent letters to the Saskatchewan Advocate for Children and Youth. After learning about mental health, the students were determined to raise awareness and advocate for better government response.

The 2018 Saskatchewan Advocate for Children and Youth Annual Report highlights the Advo-Kids' work. Read it on on page 18 of the report.
