GUELPH, Ontario – Is there someone in your school community who goes above and beyond to make the Upper Grand an exceptional place to work and learn?

Nominations are now open for the 2018 Everyday Hero Awards.

Tireless school volunteers, dedicated teachers, school and board staff, bus drivers who dedicate their time for our kids, crossing guards who save lives – anyone who goes that extra mile is being sought by the board for honour as an Everyday Hero.

Candidates can be an employee, 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. Nominations are from peers, students, parents and other system partners.

Past recipients include an employee who worked tirelessly to ensure technology programs are available to all students, an inspiring teacher who was the driving force behind a massive collaborative fundraising drive, and staff and community members who quite literally saved lives in our communities.

Nominations are open until Friday April 13, 2018. The awards ceremony is set for Tues. May 29 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.
