School Monday: School and Boy

school monday: The five-year-old's parents emigrated from Somalia 17 years ago, according to CTV. The friend says the boy was born in Saskatchewan and spoke English at home. A family friend says the boy needed extra support while attending school, including one-on-one supervision, and that his speech was delayed for his age. CTV is not yet sure if Dundonald School and Saskatoon's public school board was aware of the boy's needs. He was found shortly after Saskatoon police were called to the area at about 10 50 a.m. The boy, who was pronounced dead in hospital, was found in a pond now the site of a small memorial, with stuffed animals and balloons sitting near the water near the school Monday.
