The award, named in honour of Edwin Parr, former President of the Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA), was established almost 60 years ago to recognize outstanding first year teachers. School Boards across the province nominate one exceptional candidate to their ASBA Zone Committee each year. Jamie was recognized at the Golden Hills School Division's Employee Recognition event on May 29 and at the ASBA Zone 5 Edwin Parr celebration on May 30.

Congratulations Jamie!
