Some federal recognition for a pair of teachers in Kitchener.
Jessica Neilson and Jennifer Schaefer of Groh Public School are recipients of the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence.
A post on the government's website said, “This teaching team builds confident, digitally literate global citizens. Their students Skype with children in Yellowknife, ship a teapot to Singapore, visit seniors, fundraise for charity and collaborate with a university.”
The news was announced on World Teachers' Day, and a total of 71 Canadian educators were honoured.
Nominations are now being accepted for next year's awards.
