A teacher from Priory Park Public School has received one of the highest honours given out by Rotary International.

Last week, the Rotary Club of Guelph presented Andrea Moyer with the Honourary Paul Harris Fellowship award.

The award is named after the founder of Rotary as is meant to recognize someone whose contributions exemplify the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”

Andrea is a military wife and dedicated to keeping Remembrance alive. For more than 25 years, Andrea has organized Remembrance activities at several elementary schools in the UGDSB. Her efforts have helped educate literally thousands of young students over the years, as well as engaged young teachers and students’ families.

This past summer, Andrea was one of two elementary teachers across Canada to be selected to go to France, to participate in Juno Beach Centre’s Summer Institute and Battlefield Tour for Canadian Educators, learning even more about Canadian’s contributions to WWII.

Congratulations Andrea!
