SIMCOE COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
*************************
In October, the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) communications team received two Coup de Couer awards during the 2022 BRAVO! Awards Gala hosted by the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education.

The communications team includes Sarah Kekewich, manager of communications, Jamie Campbell, assistant manager of communications, Melanie Slade Morrison, senior communications officer, Curt Dafoe, communications officer, and Alexis Farrell, communications officer.

The awards were received for the SCDSB’s 2022 commencement video and the #SDCDSBShareTheLove staff appreciation campaign.

The 2022 commencement video is a celebration of our students’ accomplishments and the return to in-person celebrations. The communications team attended 15 commencement ceremonies across Simcoe County within seven hours, creating a collaborative video that captured the most pivotal moments and overall emotions of the day. Watch the 2022 commencement video.

The #SCDSBShareTheLove staff appreciation campaign consisted of hearts that were printed with each of the SCDSB’s four strategic priorities and made available to all staff. Staff were encouraged to write personal messages and share hearts with their colleagues. Thousands of hearts were distributed and shared. Watch this video highlighting the #SCDSBShareTheLove campaign.
