The Northern Lights Public Schools Board of Trustees would like to express its sincere appreciation and best wishes to this year’s retirees.
“We are very grateful for the years of service our retirees have devoted to our students, schools and the division,” said Board Chair Karen Packard. “We will continue to benefit from their efforts as their students graduate, choose their professions, start families, and contribute to our communities in a multitude of ways.”
Six retirees were celebrated in may at an event hosted jointly by the Board and ATA Local #15:
- Lori Urlacher - Cold Lake Middle School
- Wayne Mah - Aurora Middle School, Lac La Biche
- Carolyn Kellett - Division Office
- Deb Thomas - Nelson Heights Middle School, Cold Lake
- Elizabeth Young - J.A. Williams High School, Lac La Biche
- Wendy Gamache - Bonnyville Centralized High School
Combined this year’s retirees have served a total of 151 years with NLPS.
Over the last two weeks, trustees have been visiting schools to present Long Service Awards to 94 staff who have worked in the division for five, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years. This year the Board recognized 10 staff who have served 25 years or more with the division.
“We are fortunate to have staff who have dedicated their careers to making a difference in the lives of our students,” said Packard. “They continually rise to the challenges presented to them and go above and beyond to ensure all of our students have the opportunity to learn and excel.”
