Bowden Grandview School teacher wins Edwin Parr Award
A Chinook’s Edge School Division teacher is the recipient of the Zone 4 Edwin Parr Award.
Annually, teachers from each school division are nominated for the award in their provincial school zone. The award, which celebrates exceptional first-year teachers, is named after Edwin Parr, former president of the Alberta School Trustees’ Association. Parr established the award during his tenure from 1956-62, and it was later named in his memory.
For Zone 4 this year, Amy Severtson, who teaches at Bowden Grandview School, is the recipient.
She was chosen from a slate of eight nominees representing school divisions in central Alberta.
