"It is important to recognize the examples of excellence in all areas of public education in Avon Maitland," shared Maureen Matchett, District 8 Secondary Teacher President. "Whether it is the student who has enriched the atmosphere of the school, the staff person who has encouraged excellence through their contributions to their school, or the community member who has improved the school environment, they all help make everyone’s educational experience a positive one."
