“Teachers do incredible work every day as they guide our children through the early years of schooling, while shaping their minds as they work towards graduation. These awards are a way to recognize the important contributions teachers make to our whole province, by inspiring our youth – who are the future of Newfoundland and Labrador.”
Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey
Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador
“I was heartened to see the pride and passion of all teachers during the ceremony last year for these awards, and the support they have from their families and colleagues. I encourage students, teachers, colleagues and administrators to nominate an educator today.”
