Every school has them—those amazing people who go above and beyond every single day. Teachers. Educational Assistants. Bus drivers. Janitors. Office staff. Principals. You name it.

They’re the ones cheering kids on, drying tears, helping with homework, calming nerves, fixing jammed photocopiers, and somehow keeping the whole place running with heart and humour.

These everyday heroes deserve a standing ovation.

But let’s face it—while they might enjoy yet another apple mug or World’s Best Teacher pen, there’s a better way to show them just how much they matter.

Want to Say a Big Thank You? Here’s How!

This year, show your appreciation with a Thank an Educator certificate—and help a local student start school with everything they need to succeed.

Every certificate purchased helps us fill a backpack with essential school supplies for a local student who might otherwise go without. It’s a win for the educator and a win for a kid in your community.

You’re not just saying thanks—you’re creating brighter futures. That’s pretty awesome.

Here’s What Your Gift Can Do:

• $20 – One certificate = supplies for a primary grade backpack
• $40 – Two certificates = supplies for an intermediate grade backpack
• $60 – Three certificates = supplies for a senior grade backpack
• $80 – Four certificates = supplies for a high school backpack

The more you give, the more students you help—and the more educators you celebrate!

You can choose a digital certificate (print it at home), or we’ll print one for you to pick up at our office (380 9th Street East, Owen Sound).

Why It Matters

Educators pour their hearts into helping kids grow. They’re not just teaching math or spelling—they’re building confidence, kindness, and curiosity.

And when you honour them with a certificate that also supports a student in need, you’re part of that impact.

So go ahead—make someone’s day (or year!) with a thank-you that really means something.

Here’s an example of what the certificate looks like:
