Crown in Canada initiative at Princess Anne Public School

Four students from Princess Anne Public School were recognized for their exemplary work in social studies related to The Crown in Canada initiative, spearheaded by Dr. Kevin McCormick, President and Vice-Chancellor of Huntington University. For their outstanding efforts, Dr. McCormick surprised students with an original coin from the Queen’s Coronation year, as well as a copy of the book A Crown of Maples: Constitutional Monarchy in Canada. "Students are grateful to have been recognized by Dr. McCormick and are extremely proud to have been included in The Crown in Canada Initiative,“ says Princess Anne Public School teacher Sean Pretty. “Our students welcomed the opportunity to learn about the Monarchy and the role of the Crown in Canada."

The magazines will be displayed at the school.
