Induction/Retirement Celebration Successful

Parkland Teachers’ Local 10 hosted its annual Induction and Retirement Dinner at the Spruce Grove Motor Inn on Monday, October 26th.  Parkland administrators, Local teachers, friends, spouses, and family  had the privilege of recognizing and thanking eight retirees.  Their pride in being a teacher and their inspirational words were the highlite of the evening.  It is quite fitting that nine new teachers were inducted into the Alberta Teachers’ Association at the same function.  At times it can be a struggle to fathom how difficult it is to replace key educators in our schools, especially when they are respected and recognized at the highest levels of education.  It is very clear, however, that the inductees are enthusiastic and more than capable of taking up their new roles as leaders of students.
