Lord Aylmer Home & School Student Volunteer Award
Recognizing Excellence in Student Volunteering
Celebrating the positive impact of volunteering within our Lord Aylmer School Community
Introduction
The Lord Aylmer Home & School Association (hereinafter "Home & School") is a non-profit volunteer organization composed of parents, guardians, teachers, school staff and community members. Our mission is to enhance the education and general well-being of our students by encouraging a closer relationship between the home, the school and the community.
Our Home & School has championed the introduction of a Student Volunteer Award to recognize a graduating student within our school community who has excelled as a volunteer and demonstrated leadership, innovation, dedication and has had a positive and meaningful impact on their peers, teachers and school staff (hereinafter "school community").
Selection Process
The Home & School Award’s Committee will work closely with the principal, teachers and school staff to choose a recipient of the award whom we feel excels in one or more of the Eligibility Criteria.

Submission Process

This will give the Home & School Award’s Committee a better understanding of the achievements of each student and their impact on the school community. It will also provide background information that we will use when we present the award the to student during the Grade 6 Graduation Ceremony.
