Last year, the 91原创 Advance Times highlighted seven people working in education who went 鈥淎bove and Beyond鈥 for their students, and this year we鈥檙e looking to do it again.

We are looking for anyone involved in education in 91原创 鈥 teachers, administrators, education assistants, Aboriginal support workers, coaches, club leaders, custodial staff, bus drivers 鈥 who has made a big difference for 91原创 students, whether in the last year, or over the course of a long career.

Any kind of stories are welcome 鈥 whether it鈥檚 about school clubs and sports, giving a student an academic boost, or inspiring kids to reach for their dreams. All we ask is that these educators went beyond the call of duty.

Each person selected will be the subject of a feature article and photo in an upcoming publication in the 91原创 Advance Times, explaining how they have affected the lives of local students for the better.

From you, we need nominations 鈥 send us up to 250 words explaining why the person you are nominating deserves to be featured. Please include your contact information so we can follow up with you and reach out to your nominee.

A small committee will be making decisions soon, so there is a Nov. 10 deadline for nominations. Send your nominations to contests@langleyadvancetimes.com by 4 p.m. that day.

We鈥檙e looking forward to hearing the stories of some of 91原创鈥檚 unsung education heroes!
