Mrs. Simmons found herself surrounded by family and friends as she was recognized by our Minister of Education, Jody Carr, with this year's Minster's Excellence In Teaching Award over the weekend. The purpose of the award is to recognize and honour dynamic educators who have displayed outstanding skills in supporting the needs of diverse learners of the 21st century at the school, district and provincial level.  Mrs. Simmons has certainly earned these wonderful accolades and is well deserving of this honor. Congratulations Mrs. Simmons!!!
