School District Honours Dedication at 2024 Long-Term Service Dinner
On February 21, 2024, the Abbotsford School District held its annual event to honour the commitment of over 150 employees. With service milestones ranging from 20 to 40 years, these individuals, from educators to administrative staff and from facilities to IT support, have been pivotal in implementing the district's mission of preparing students for a lifetime of success.
During the 2024 Long-Term Service Dinner, the district reaffirmed its appreciation for the longstanding service of its employees. Abbotsford Board of Education Chair, Shirley Wilson, expressed gratitude at the beginning of the evening: "Your dedication to our school district does not go unnoticed, especially as you play a vital role in the success of students. Outstanding employees are not easy to find, but you have managed to go above and beyond in your years of employment to show that you - each of you - are one of the best there is."
Superintendent of Schools, Sean Nosek, also acknowledged employees' hard work and impact, remarking, "Our work is not easy work, but it is important work. The kind of work that allows human beings to grow and flourish. Whatever your role in our organization may be, I know you have helped to make us better, that you understand it takes all of us to deliver on the promise to provide a world-class educational experience for every student."
We extend our deepest thanks to the following employees for their years of service, knowing that their contributions have shaped the lives of countless students:
