As the new school year begins, school administrators across the division have taken the initiative to recognize outstanding teachers with the prestigious Rock Star Awards. This accolade honors educators for their exceptional attendance and commitment to their students.

Teachers expressed their surprise and gratitude upon receiving the awards, highlighting the importance of recognition in their often solitary roles. One award recipient shared, \"Sometimes I feel like when you're in the classroom and the door is closed... you don't know that people appreciate what you're doing, but this really showed me that people do actually appreciate what we're doing in the classroom.\"

The recognition serves as a validation of their hard work and dedication, with another teacher noting the excitement of being acknowledged for their efforts. \"I love being here every day for the kids,\" they stated, emphasizing the importance of setting a positive example for both students and colleagues.

In addition to honoring teachers, the division also celebrated School Bus Driver and Assistant Appreciation Day, acknowledging the vital role that bus drivers and their assistants play in ensuring the safety and well-being of students. The district expressed gratitude for their dedication and hard work, reinforcing the community's commitment to recognizing all contributors to the educational environment.
