Principal Lloyd Boody of Three Hills School has received recognition for supporting student athletics at his school.
Boody has received the Lorne Wood Award from the Alberta Schools Athletic Association (ASAA).
The Lorne Wood Award is presented annually in recognition of a school administrator who actively models, supports and promotes sportsmanship through their involvement in school athletic programs.
Boody has been teaching for 28 years, and has spent ten of those as the principal of Three Hills School.
“It means that our school community is doing a really, really good job. I get the opportunity to be the head cheerleader,” said Boody.
He said he believes a part of measuring the success of a school is how well the teach-
ers engage the students both inside and outside the classroom, and an award such as this shows how well the school staff have invested their time, with the result being quality relationships with the school’s students.
Eight separate zones were able to recognize individuals for outstanding contributions to their zone. Zone secretaries, in consultation with members of their zone, nominate deserving individuals for the Zone Award of Merit.
The ASAA recognizes one person from an Alberta school for the Lorne Wood Award.
The awards were presented at an ASAA banquet in Red Deer December 4, 2014.
