Peace River School Division has honoured Grimshaw Public School teacher Stacey Wollum as the #DrivingSuccess staff nominee for January.
Wollum is a mentor for other staff members at the school through her role as the elementary numeracy lead.
School principal Jessica Shaw says Wollum is a dedicated teacher.
“Mrs. Wollum is always giving of her time and effort,” Shaw writes in the nomination.
“She organizes our Terry Fox Run, the Halloween Carnival and Jump Rope for Heart events, as well as the year-end field trips.”
Wollum is also a dedicated staff volunteer, stepping up to organize several of the fun events that contribute to the school’s overall culture.
She is also an active participant in the Northern Oral Language and Writing Through Play (NOW Play) 2 research project. The project aims to incorporate Indigenous language development into play-based learning by building teaching capacity in northern and rural communities.
At the Grimshaw school, it provides additional opportunities for her students to participate in land-based learning opportunities.
Starting last October, PRSD launched a program to celebrate nominated staff and students for the extraordinary work they do each and every day.
Nominations are submitted through each school’s principal.
Staff or students can be nominated through the campaign by school administration and PRSD central operations executive.
