The Upper Grand District School Board wants to honour those who go the extra mile to make the Upper Grand an amazing place to work and learn.
People can nominate exceptional staff, students, volunteers and community members for the 2020 Everyday Hero Awards.
People can honour tireless school volunteers, dedicated teachers, school and board staff, bus drivers who dedicate their time for kids and crossing guards who save lives.
Eligible candidates can be an employee, student, volunteer, individual, or community group active in schools – anyone who has a relationship with the system across Dufferin and Wellington Counties and the City of Guelph. Criteria for the award includes the performance of duties at a high level at all times, a significant school or system-related achievement, a specific innovation or achievement of significant value or importance to the system, or a unique circumstance considered worthy of recognition by the board.
Past recipients include a student who became a champion for youth mental health, a class who raised funds for a new wheelchair for their classmates, and staff and community members who quite literally saved lives in our communities.
Nominations are open until April 14, 2020. The awards ceremony is set for May 27 at the E.L. Fox Auditorium (John F. Ross CVI), 21 Meyer Drive, Guelph beginning at 7:00 p.m. A reception will follow the awards.
