In celebration of Education Week (May 2-6, 2011), Alberta Education and Edmonton Public Schools came together to co-ordinate a flash mob to bring attention to the importance of high school completion. On Friday, May 6, approximately 150 students, parents and other stakeholders performed a dynamic routine for a surprised lunchtime crowd in Edmonton City Centre.
Talented and enthusiastic students from Lillian Osborne, Jasper Place, Florence Hallock and Victoria committed to rehearsing and executing a high-energy dance choreographed by Lillian Osborne teacher Kerri Neitsch, evoking cheers from those who witnessed the performance first hand. Minister of Education, Dave Hancock even took part in the fun!
