Peel board celebrates public education during Education Week – April 23 to 27

​Peel public schools will host hundreds of special activities and events to celebrate Education Week 2018. To give schools plenty of time to hold activities, this celebration of education will be held from April 23 to 27. The theme for this year's focus on education is We Inspire.

​In addition to inviting parents and community residents to visit their classrooms during the week, Peel schools are hosting open houses, plays/musicals, storytelling, environmental activities, awards assemblies, talent shows and much more.

One of the highlights of Education Week is the presentation of Awards of Excellence. The award recipients are students, volunteers, staff and community partners who have made outstanding contributions to public education in Peel. The awards will be presented to 33 deserving recipients at the Showcase of Excellence ceremony on Monday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the boardroom, HJA Brown Education Centre, 5650 Hurontario St., Mississauga. ​

More than 1,000 individuals will also be honoured during Education Week with Awards of Distinction for their contributions to their school or workplace.
