With the business of a virtual school wrap up and a distanced grad, Muenster School also found time to put together a virtual awards ceremony. Each year, students are the recipients of awards made available by local, provincial, and national donors. 2020 was no exception, and in spite of the fact there was no official gathering, the online awards recognized the hard work and achievements of students in the academic, sporting, and service realms.
