Introducing the Fraser Connected Learners! Our goal is to show the world the endless possibilities that making connections and sharing ideas can create. In our inaugural episode, we had the chance to sit down with K-8 Media Specialist Lori Wetzel and 21st Century Wendy Murray. We also had the chance to speak to Author and Keynote Speaker, Will Richardson, about his book, "Why School?" and the impact on education nationwide.
