PRESS RELEASE: Town of Stonewall Seeking to Recognize Educators

PRESS RELEASE


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Town of Stonewall seeking to recognize our educators

STONEWALL, November 24, 2020 – In early June, the Town of Stonewall launched its Apple of Appreciation project which encouraged residents to use an apple as a symbol to recognize educator’s contributions through the pandemic. For the duration of this pandemic teachers, support staff and early childhood educators have continued to engage our youth and provide education. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues these same educators resume their efforts to ensure no one is left behind because of the pandemic. The need to boost spirits and continue to support each other is clear.

The Town wishes to revitalize the project once again with an additional option for recognition. We encourage our residents to use an apple (clear of copyrights) as a symbol, in a creative way, to recognize all educators for their contributions to our community. Additionally, thanks to a partnership with the Stonewall Teulon Tribune, children are welcome to submit letters, through email, to be published in the paper at greatteachers@stonewallteulontribune.ca. Deadline for submissions is December 11th, 2020 at noon. Residents are also invited to submit a photo of their participation though email at info@stonewall.cato be shared on the Town’s social media. www.facebook.com/stonewallmb/.

"Through a variety initiatives such the Home Town Heroes and the "Blue Light” campaign we have recognized front line workers and medical staff for their courageous and unprecedented efforts since the start of the pandemic; Council felt it was important to also recognize the hard work of educators during this time,” stated Mayor Clive Hinds.

Stonewall is a vibrant community and by working together, Council is confident we can reduce the health and safety risks for Town residents during these unprecedented times. Please help us celebrate our educators.
