“I am very, very proud of her. I’m very happy that she is continuing on with her classes and high achievements.” Bird said.

Bird has been with the Bobby Bird Memorial Scholarship committee for well over 10 years, and has presented the award to many different students for their academic achievements from specific reserves across Saskatchewan.

“Michelle Miller wrote a nomination letter on why I should be getting this award, as well you have to get transcripts from the year before, and work very hard,” said Nelson.

Nelson continues to work very hard and she hopes to receive the Bobby Bird Memorial Scholarship again in the future.
