Peace River School Division Concludes Long-Service Award Celebrations
As the school year draws to a close, the Peace River School Division is proud to reflect on a season of heartfelt recognition, culminating in our final long-service award celebrations. This year marked a significant and positive evolution in how we honor our incredible staff, transitioning from a single central gala to a series of vibrant, site-based celebrations across the division. This new approach ensured that even more of our dedicated team members could participate in and be celebrated by their immediate colleagues and communities.
Throughout May and June, our schools and departments acknowledged the unwavering commitment of individuals who have shaped countless lives within the PRSD. From 5-year milestones to truly extraordinary careers, each celebration was a testament to the passion and hard work that forms the backbone of our educational community.
