Peace River School Division has appointed three staff members to its central office in Grimshaw starting in the 2025-26 school year.
Appointments were announced in a PRSD news release April 14.
Sabrina Fentie will become the divisional inclusive education co-ordinator.
While new to PRSD, she has been a teacher and principal for the past 15 years.
Fentie says her approach to teaching is guided by words her mother often said to her.
“You can’t love someone too much,” Fentie states her mother’s saying.
She translates that statement into understanding that many students face unseen challenges and as a result, it is a core belief that students both need and deserve strong educational advocates.
Laura Krantz will become the K-6 Indigenous education program co-ordinator. She previously served as the vice-principal at Grimshaw Public School.
Krantz has been on staff at PRSD since 2016 and been posted at schools in Peace River, Grimshaw and Berwyn.
Elaine Lombard was appointed the division literacy program co-ordinator.
She has been a teacher at Ecole Springfield Elementary School in Peace River in Grades 1, 2 and 3 since 2022 and a teacher for the last 17 years.
Lombard is a self-professed lifelong learner and is passionate about helping students achieve success in the area of literacy.
