Jocelyn Bowman |
A good school secretary is a magician. A great one is a wizard. It is the difference between doing some sleight of hand and performing outright sorcery.
Jocelyn Bowman at James L. Dunn Public School is a conjurer, comparable to Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, the most powerful enchantress in the land of Oz. She was, in fact, the person who trained the Wizard himself.
At Dunn, Jocelyn wears many hats….from which she can pull many rabbits. She is sometimes: a bookkeeper, a nurse, traffic cop, detective, timekeeper, cashier, announcer, delivery person, customer service rep and telecommunications specialist. She puts her full effort into each and any task she is assigned or assumes.
Whatever she is doing, Jocelyn does it with a calm demeanor and a positive attitude. Her friendly smile puts everyone at ease, even the occasional, lost delivery man.
It is among her many ethereal talents - like mind reading. It comes as a shock to many students when they discover Ms. Bowman knows what they’re thinking. Jocelyn is also prescient, often doing things well before anyone asks her to do them. And she has a preternatural, exhaustive knowledge of everything relevant to staff, students and families at James L. Dunn. Without even looking, she can answer, “When will my bus arrive?” or “Do you know where my backpack is?” or “What is wrong with the photocopier?”
Like any good wizard, she also has a great deal of spirit. It often comes out on special days at the school when Jocelyn will wear an elaborate costume. Regularly, she will be draped in Cardinals spirit wear.
She is wondrously the first person anyone sees when they arrive at the school and also the last person they see when they leave. You will never miss Jocelyn at all the after-school events, such as Parent-Teacher interviews and Kindergarten Open House.
Whether or not Jocelyn Bowman can transmogrify or turn lead into gold is up to her to reveal…but she is a fabulous wizard. That word comes from the old English word wys, which means wise and there is no mystery there.
Her Outstanding Service is no trick. |
Maha Dannawey |
She is a Kindergarten ECE but her contribution at Northwood has had a significant influence throughout the entire school community.
Maha’s work in the classroom is exceptional. Every teacher who has had the good fortune to work with her has been incredibly grateful for the partnership. One colleague stated that Maha, “inspires hope, ignites imagination and instills a love of learning” in all her students.
However, creative, patient, and nurturing support of our youngest learners is just one reason why we recognize Maha’s service as outstanding.
She also possesses sublime talents that foster cooperation, create and preserve relationships and bridge gaps between the school and the broader community.
Maha is a diplomat in every connotation the title implies. She has language skills; integrity; is an adept communicator; and demonstrates organizational leadership. A true diplomat is defined as an empathetic listener with a persuasive personality – someone who is honest, authentic and trustworthy.
She practices her diplomacy in the spirit of former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who stated in the State of the World’s Children report for Unicef in 2000, “There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children.”
Maha has helped guide fellow staff members to understand the cultural norms and religious practices of Muslim students, who make up a significant portion of the school’s population. As well, all her students learn about and are encouraged to develop an appreciation for each other’s diverse cultures, broadening their perspectives and instilling mutual respect.
For families, whose first language is not English, Maha is, seemingly, always available to translate, or sit in on meetings to ensure that everyone has a full understanding of what is happening and what is being said.
A parent, who she has helped in just such a way, stated simply, “We are lucky to have her at Northwood.”
A diplomat’s job is to attain favourable outcomes that have enduring, positive consequences for everyone. They can and have, literally, saved the world.
This is not a Nobel prize, but it is a noble reward for her Outstanding Service |
Dana Di Vincenzo |
In 2006 then U.S. Senator - soon to be President – Barack Obama spoke to graduates at Northwestern University. The thesis of his address was “empathy deficit”. He said that society was falling behind in “the ability to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes; to see the world through those who are different from us.”
Mr. Obama was obviously unaware of a promising young teacher in the early years of her career at John Campbell Public School, who would become a champion for compassion in the Greater Essex County District School Board.
Dana Di Vincenzo is now a Special Education Coordinator using her knowledge, experience, and empathy to assist 10 different school teams.
She is described as “a positive force of energy” and she takes that spirit into everything she does. Dana channels her energy well. She has highly effective organizational skills - essential in managing the special education maze. She leads teachers, administrators, and families through the labyrinth with patience and without judgement.
She is a skilled communicator, connecting with parents and caregivers to make sure they are aware of community resources that support children with special needs. Before new kindergarten students begin their educational journeys each September, Dana makes personal phone calls to discuss the transition from home to school, offering the necessary reassurance that things will go smoothly.
When she speaks with children at her office, she always creates a strong connection and is well-remembered by everyone, though they only visit occasionally.
For the staff she supports at her schools, Dana has created “This Week” – a newsletter with special education tips, strategies, and other critical information. She attends staff meetings, providing workshops on complex subjects such as Individual Education Plans. She is the person everyone calls with questions about Special Education and she is always willing and ready to answer them.
In his convocation address Barack Obama said, “Our individual salvation depends on collective salvation…it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.”
The GECDSB enjoys an empathy surplus thanks to the Outstanding Service of Dana Di Vincenzo. |
John Dumouchelle |
John Dumouchelle is here to be honoured for elbowing his way into the hearts of everyone at Roseland Public School.
He usually cannot make it through Hallway 2 without banging out dozens of his trademark Chicken Wing™ greetings. He is often applauded for merely entering a classroom during nutrition breaks.
But John is also here, surrounded by family, colleagues and friends for an intervention…because John has some issues.
One is wardrobe related. He believes that shorts are year-round apparel. Alas, there is nothing we can do about that!
Primarily John’s problem is that he cannot say “No”!
Whether it is cleaning an unexpected mess, retrieving basketballs that have gone over fences or engaging in a lively game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, he does everything he is asked with a smile on his face and a positive attitude. His response to any call on the walkie-talkie is always a friendly, “Thank you”.
Indeed.com, a premier hiring and recruitment website, offers some easy ways to politely decline, such as: “I have too much to do today. I can help another time.” Or “Unfortunately, I cannot say yes at this time. I wish you luck finding someone who can.”
The problem is, John is enabled to continue this behaviour by those around him. The Roseland staff, for instance, allow him to, each morning, get the Kiss and Ride organized before they arrive.
John can also not say “no” to students, who are eager to help him with his job. The reward may be as simple as a pat on the back, but assisting Mr. D is one of the most coveted responsibilities in the school. This includes the Roseland Eco Team which handles all the recycling in the building.
Recently, a Grade 8 student in need of some extra support, identified spending time with John as one of the ways he was able to calm down when he was struggling. John eagerly became his mentor and they spent considerable time together through the remainder of the year.
John may be an inveterate yes man, but we too could not say “No” to rewarding his Outstanding Service. |
Karen Durham |
Keeping your vessel ship-shape is a challenge when all the passengers are eager, young learners. It can be quite an “oar-deal” with a lot of “pier-pressure”. Those who do it well deserve to take a “bow”.
For 25 years Karen Durham has been at the helm of Malden Central Public School on the edge of Lake Erie, whose symbol is a large ship at full sail. A colleague stated, “Karen is the quiet, dedicated leader in our school.” For years she has handled the training of all new principals at Malden. They may get to wear the big hat, but everyone is aware of who the real captain is.
Karen performs all her regular responsibilities, handling the phone and the main door, photocopying and greeting visitors with enthusiasm. Always helpful, friendly - with a smile. Should any youngster find themselves in need of a snack, Karen always has a bag of apples at hand to fill those nutritional gaps.
According to one staff member, “She is so many things to so many people in our school.” She is not only the school’s first officer, she’s the Bosun, Purser, Nurse, Quartermaster and Chief Engineer. She also maintains the ship’s log and retains a wealth of knowledge about all things Malden. She has welcomed generations of students to school. Often parents registering new students for Kindergarten will be well remembered from their time on deck.
Karen handles all her duties – assigned and otherwise – happily and graciously. She finds humour in almost all situations and can put a smile on anyone’s face. She deals with difficulties in a placid manner. There is an old nautical adage, “calm seas never make skilled sailors” and she has well-developed, essential qualities, primarily: humility, honesty and passion.
Over the years she has also trained for and implemented a great many new navigational systems. Karen is a valuable resource for staff having problems submitting attendance or report cards.
She even assumed secretarial responsibility for online learning increasing her workload with more students, families and technology.
One staff member says, “The school cannot run without her.” While that may not be completely true, the sailing would not be nearly as smooth without Karen’s Outstanding Service. |
Kathy Freeman |
Kathy Freeman is “kind”, “creative” and “innovative”. She has “boundless energy” and “deep passion”.
A colleague stated that she, “has the ability to immediately change the mood of those around her in the positive direction.”
She is, metaphorically, a force of nature.
In the study of physics, there are 4 of them: gravity; electromagnetism; the weak force; and the strong force. Of those, Kathy is the embodiment of electromagnetism. It is the force that holds things together in a given shape.
As an instructional coach, she is said to have a metaphysical gift to connect on a personal level with a team of educators, building a rapport and making everyone comfortable, despite her encouragement that they take risks.
Before she joined the Program Department, Kathy mastered her craft in a classroom of her own for 19 years. Yet, she has always demonstrated an eagerness for constant, personal learning, which she has always modelled, quite fashionably, for both students and colleagues. Kathy is, in the words of a colleague, “the teacher I aspire to be!”
Throughout her career, Kathy has been called to serve on committees to develop and enhance everyone’s understanding of the curriculum. She was part of the First Nations, Metis and Inuit Education Association of Ontario Math Pilot Project, during which she collaborated with fellow educators, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and NASA scientists.
Kathy is always available to help, in whatever capacity she is needed. Asked last year to be a last-minute fill-in for a few days for the Summer Learning Program, she ended up staying for the entire 3 weeks. She even brought along her daughter as a volunteer and the 2 spent quality time together helping to create an amazing learning experience for the students.
This is the type of character and commitment Kathy brings to everything she does. The thing about electromagnetism is that it can be felt from any distance. It creates a field by which charges can influence each other.
One colleague says, “She lights up a room with her contagious smile and warm personality.” That energy and her enthusiasm is apparent in her infinite outstanding service |
Debbie McAiney |
It is almost prescient – that part of Deb McAiney’s early career with the Greater Essex County District School Board was teaching Geography at Western Secondary School.
She always seemed to know the lay of the land and was a wise and empathetic counsellor for students navigating their way through high school. She even worked for a while in the MAPS program.
Among her early exploits was integrating memorable experiences for students into life-long, skills-based learning. This included organizing and fundraising for a week-long trip to Florida where students visited Disney World and the Kennedy Space Center. They learned valuable life lessons about packing, planning, budgeting, air travel and experiencing unfamiliar places. Deb also spearheaded a curriculum-based lunch program where her students would plan, shop and prepare lunch for several other students every day.
What became quite evident, early on, was that Deb had a very precise moral compass. Her professional journey then took her to the Board office as a teacher consultant, a Learning Support Teacher and then to Essex District High School as a guidance counsellor.
It is there where she continued illuminating pathways for young people needing a little or a lot of direction. She has rescued countless students’ graduations – changing the trajectory of their lives.
“Without Mrs. McAiney my life would have taken a completely different course,” one student wrote.
“She encouraged me to be a leader rather than a follower,” stated another. At E.D.H.S. Deb has, herself, always led by example. She started The Breakfast Nook, a student nutrition program, assists in planning major school events such as academic awards ceremonies and graduations and helps coach the girls’ hockey team. She also began a scholarship for a student who died of cancer.
Deb McAiney is a beacon of hope, orienting young people on practical headings. A student concluded, “I wish everyone had a Ms. McAiney in their lives.” Debbie McAiney means the world to her students and colleagues fortunate enough to have been in the orbit of her Outstanding Service. |
Lisa McNelis Fraba |
It is difficult to describe Lisa Fraba, but an astute characterization could be: a heterogenous polymath!
She is a textbook example of a person of great learning in several fields of study who has widely dissimilar elements or constituents.
One of history’s most renowned polymath’s – Aristotle - stated, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
This is the manner in which Lisa Fraba approaches and executes education. Her “style” is described as “optimistic”, open-minded, “enthusiastic”, “inclusive” and “compassionate”. Lisa is a teacher, coach, mentor, volunteer, role model and confidant to both students and staff at A.V. Graham Public School.
A former student stated, “You should pay her more!”
While that is beyond our authority, we acknowledge that Lisa does a great deal outside the walls of her Grade 7 classroom.
She coaches or assists with volleyball, basketball, soccer, cross country and track and field teams at A.V. Graham. Lisa also helps during Kindergarten Registration and with school musical productions.
But no one can do it all, so Lisa is always encouraging her colleagues to participate in extracurricular activities. She does not merely suggest, however. Lisa will mentor young teachers and she doesn’t leave them untethered, because she will always be available to help or resolve problems.
Lisa is the driving force behind the Griffin Cup – a special event that brings together Grade 6 students from A.V. Graham and D.M. Eagle, to prepare them for when they will be together for Grade 7.
And every year the Grade 7s are afforded a trip to Camp Wenoah in September. Lisa organizes busing, plans the activities and makes sure things are as perfect as they can be.
Lisa also coordinates her students’ participation in Youthrive – an entrepreneurship program in collaboration with the University of Windsor. They design, develop, test, market and sell a product. It is no surprise that throughout the years A.V. Graham students have been very successful in this competitive event.
Her talents, alas, are not exhaustive. She is, admittedly, a terrible singer. However, she need not prove that we will sing the praises of her Outstanding Service. |
Arlette Repko |
To be deemed “Outstanding” one must, almost always, be unconventional. Rarely is that lofty status bestowed by simply following standard practices.
One must be – among other things – an innovator.
A 2018 article in Forbes Magazine titled “10 Ways Educators Can Make Classrooms More Innovative”, by Robyn Shulman, provides a list of ways teachers can create “positive classroom cultures that invite authentic learning”.
We are not sure if Arlette Repko read the piece or even knows of its existence, but her own teaching practices match it almost point for point.
Her supervisors and colleagues have separately validated Arlette’s classroom innovations. Which are – according to the list:
Arlette has heavily invested in her innovative style. Her room is open every day after school for any students who require additional support - and not just those in her class.
She is a model for an open, caring, compassionate educator. She inspires the entire school community with her leadership, planning activities and events such as Orange Shirt Day, Remembrance Day, canned food drives, the Winter Concert and visits from MD Motivator. As well, Arlette leads the school’s recycling program and sometimes acts as a translator for Arabic families at Maxwell.
She also has a profound impact outside the school. She helps out at her church and volunteers at her aunt’s retirement home. She is a regular blood donor and has arranged a donation clinic for school staff which encouraged many to give the gift of life for the first time. It is not a mere metaphor to state that Arlette has shared blood, sweat and no doubt, more than a few tears during her service to her school and her community.
There is, however, no better way to say than, it’s outstanding. |
Janet Spiers |
As a social worker and attendance counsellor for the past 17 years, Janet Spiers has been an agent of change.
Her code name is 001.
You may recall some of her biggest hits: On Her Majesty’s Social Service; The Social Worker Who Loved Me; From Riverside with Love; and Live and Let Thrive!
She is a real-life intelligence operative with a disarming sense of humour and the ability to stabilize students’ worlds in crisis situations. They are often shaken when they first meet but leave stirred with confidence.
Janet does not use a lot of fancy gadgets, but she gives young people all the tools they need to take steps into the adult world. Quite often she has been known to assist with collecting food, furnishings and other necessities. Janet not only understands the need for essentials, she appreciates the importance for young people to celebrate their accomplishments. That’s why she is involved with Say Yes to the Dress, which provides students with gently used prom dresses.
She has also arranged for a Grade 8 student to have her hair done through the St. Clair College aesthetics program, for graduation.
Most importantly though, Janet helps students find the resources in the community that will support them in the long term.
Well-respected by all the community agencies, Janet will use her skills and her platform to collect items for organizations such as New Beginnings and the Welcome Shelter. Often she will volunteer her time and her vehicle to pick up and deliver donations. She is never Dr. No!
There are never any big chase scenes in Janet’s adventures. Pursuing her is never dramatic. She is always available when she is needed and she is usually easy to find. Colleagues also seek her out for advice as well as a chocolate treat from her well-stocked desk drawer.
Janet has single-handedly saved lives. Directly and indirectly, she has protected hundreds of young people from distress, hardship or much worse.
Spiers, Janet Spiers is a special kind of agent, though it is no secret. Her service to our students has been outstanding. |
