It seemed as if it was Panko, Panko and Panko during awards night at Clearwater Secondary School on Thursday evening, June 29.
Stacia Panko won the senior all round award, Jenny Panko took the junior all round, and their brother Grayson took home a number of prizes as well.
It wasn’t really all Pankos, however. In fact, dozens of students came up to receive awards and recognition of one kind or another.
An emotional moment came when teacher Marie Giesbrecht presented a going-away gift to Brent Buck, who is retiring after 33 years of teaching at the school.
“You made such a huge difference,” Giesbrecht told him.
