MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Straits-White Bay North
MR. DEAN: Mr. Speaker, I rise in this hon. House today to congratulate Rhonda Martin, a physical education teacher at Cloud River Academy in Roddickton, who received the Newfoundland and Labrador Coach of the Year Award at the School Sport Newfoundland and Labrador Annual Awards Banquet that was held in St. John’s on June 4. Since the awards inception in 1975, Ms Martin is the first female to receive this honour.

Ms Martin who was nominated for this award by Alexandra Ellsworth, a student who on is on her girls three-time provincial winning volleyball team, coaches volleyball, softball, badminton and ball hockey at the Roddickton school. Ms Martin had always enjoyed the sport in high school, so becoming a high school physical education teacher and sports coach was just a natural progression.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in congratulating Ms Martin on this wonderful achievement and wish her well in her future endeavours.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
