A former teacher has made what is believed to be the largest donation ever to the North Okanagan Shuswap School District.
Representatives from District 83 said Helen Sidney donated $100,000 to her former school, Armstrong Elementary, which will be used to turn the library into a learning commons and to celebrate the school’s upcoming 100th anniversary.
“District 83 superintendent Peter Jory commented he thinks this is the largest donation the school district has ever received and the school district is incredibly thankful to Mrs. Sidney for her generosity,” an update from the district stated.
