Bravo Breakfast Awards – Smiths Falls Area Schools
The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario celebrated the third of four area Bravo Breakfast Awards on Thursday, April 5, at Hanley Hall in Smiths Falls. The event recognized students from the Smiths Falls area schools, including students from Perth, Carleton Place, Westport, Almonte and Lanark, with the prestigious award. One student from each elementary and secondary school is chosen to receive this award annually, which acknowledges the unsung heroes within CDSBEO Catholic schools. This is the tenth year the Board has hosted the celebration.
“Bravo is a word that is often used when a performer or any person has done something very well. The word dates back to the 1700s in Italy, and it literally means “brave.” For me, this word is the perfect combination of what we are here to celebrate this morning,” began Director of Education John Cameron in his address.
“We are here to celebrate the great efforts of our students and also to acknowledge the courage and bravery that is a key part of stepping forward to make a difference for others. Students, you have been carefully selected because people in your school have noticed how you have made a difference in the lives of those around you.”
Trustee for Lanark County, Nancy Kirby, was also in attendance, along with many other local government officials, dignitaries and parish priests.
