Celebrating Staff LogoEvery week we celebrate SMCDSB staff members who a parent, student or colleague has recognized.

This week, we celebrate Ana Coelho, an office Ana Coelho administrator at St. Jean de Brébeuf Catholic School. Ana was nominated by a colleague who said:

“Ana Coelho, our Office and Clerical Administrator, is truly one of the hardest-working members of our team. With her big, beautiful smile, she welcomes everyone who enters SJB, making all visitors, parents, and staff feel honored, important, and valued. Ana is exceptionally kind to the children and consistently accommodates the needs of the staff, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in our office. Her friendly demeanor and unwavering dedication to going above and beyond the call of duty make her an invaluable asset to our school community. She is, without a doubt, a gem who deserves to be recognized for her outstanding contributions.”

Abigail BourgeoisThis week, we are also celebrating Abigail Bourgeois, a teacher at Canadian Martyrs Catholic School. Abigail was nominated by two students who said:

“Ms. Bourgeois is a good teacher and good at her job. She encourages the students to do good things. She makes school fun and good. She goes out of her way and brings in treats for the class, like candy, and she makes fake money for the class so we can learn how to manage our own money, which sets me and my classmates up for real life.”

“Ms. Bourgeois has been a role model for me as her student. Ms. Bourgeois is so kind to me and all my classmates. As a first-year teacher, she is amazing!!”

We would like to thank Ana and Abigail for their commitment to Catholic education at our board.
