Celebrating 25 Years of Dedication and Service

by Marilyn Santucci
The Lester B. Pearson School Board proudly recognized the dedicated individuals who reached an impressive career milestone: 25 years of outstanding service.

To mark the occasion, colleagues gathered in the boardroom to enjoy refreshments, share some food and drinks, and take time to catch up with one another. The gathering offered an opportunity to reconnect, reminisce about their years with the board, and celebrate the many experiences and relationships built along the way.

The celebration included remarks from Dr. Cindy Finn, Director General of LBPSB. During her speech recognizing the honourees and their years of dedication and contributions to the board, she made a fitting reference to 25 years being a silver anniversary.

“Like silver, your contributions have stood the test of time. You have enriched our schools, our centres, and our departments for the past 25 years,” she said.

Reaching 25 years of service is a significant achievement, reflecting decades of dedication, commitment, and contributions to the LBPSB community. Throughout the years, these individuals have played an important role in supporting students, colleagues, schools, and departments, helping shape the educational community we share today.

Beyond recognizing their professional accomplishments, the occasion was also a chance to celebrate the people behind the milestones. From sharing memories to exchanging stories about their time at LBPSB, the gathering highlighted the connections that make the board such a special community.

LBPSB extends its gratitude to all those celebrating 25 years of service. Thank you for your continued dedication, your contributions, and the lasting impact you have made throughout your years with the board. Congratulations!
