Learning…Achieving…Succeeding


Years of Service Awards Night

Grasslands Years of Service Awards Night was held on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009.

Every year Grasslands is proud to acknowledge staff for their years of service. This year we were pleased to recognize more than 75 employees with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and even 35 years of dedicated service.

This evening was a time to honour Grasslands’ administrators, teachers, teacher-aides, custodians, bus drivers and maintenance staff who have educated and served our students well over the years.

Once again, please accept our sincere appreciation for a job well done!

Pictured above are Grasslands receipients of the 25, 30 and 35 years of service awards. Brenda Owen, Michele Slenders, Lee Ann Woods, Ken King, Susan Chomistek, Inge Ellefson, Joe Buckler, Lacey Pfahl.


BOARD BITS

Our jurisdiction’s brand new strategic plan can now be seen on the Grasslands’ website (www.grasslands.ab.ca – under “Documents”). Our 2009-2014 Strategic Plan is a plan for the future, one that will guide our jurisdiction over the next five years. It is a plan that ensures that we continue to do the many things we are doing very well. At the same time, it’s a call for us to create an even better learning environment for all of our students, to build an even better working environment for all of our staff, and to involve the entire community in the educational success of our students.

Our Strategic Plan is a result of gathering input from representatives of these six different stakeholder groups: students, parents, teachers, support staff, administrators and the community. The Board of Trustees would like to thank all those who took part in these consultations and who shared their insights and suggestions.

This fall, Superintendent Chomistek has led a “Strategic Plan Launch”. This involves introducing the plan to all stakeholders, and presentations have already been made to many students and staff members throughout the jurisdiction. All stakeholders are being invited to be part of the plan – to help us by sharing their ideas about the plan and by contributing to its success in any way they can.
