For Immediate Release
March 2, 2016

---

GUELPH, Ontario – Is there someone in your school community who goes out of their way to make Upper Grand schools exceptional places to work and learn?

Nominations are now open for the 2016 Everyday Hero Awards.

Tireless school volunteers, role model teachers, bus drivers who go the extra mile, crossing guards who save lives – anyone who goes above and beyond what is expected 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 the champion of one school’s nutrition program, a teacher who worked tirelessly to promote inclusion and accessibility in his school community, and volunteers who worked behind the scenes for decades, never asking for anything in return.

Nominations are open until Thursday April 14, 2016. The awards ceremony is set for Wed. May 25 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.
