Celebrating our stars

Northern Lights staff gathered in Glendon on Friday, May 3 for the Board’s annual Staff Recognition Evening.

The theme of this year’s celebration was “A Night Among the Stars.” The event recognized four retirees, the Board’s Edwin Parr nominee and candidates, and 132 staff who were being recognized for their service to Northern Lights Public Schools.

“We are privileged to have staff that are dedicated to working collaboratively to ensure all of our students have the opportunity to achieve success,” said Board Chair Arlene Hrynyk. “Each and every day they make a difference in the lives of children in our communities and we are so proud of the work they do.”

This year’s event recognized four retirees who have served a combined 107 years with Northern Lights Public Schools. The Board also recognized staff who have served with the division for five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years. This year the Board recognized five staff that have worked in the division for 30 years or longer.

The Board also recognized Blake Mezzarobba from Kikino School, who has been nominated by Northern Lights for the Alberta School Boards’ Association’s Edwin Parr Award for outstanding first year teachers. Bryanna Belanger from Aurora Middle School and Avalon Verzuu were also recognized as candidates for the nomination.
