While she started halfway through last school year, Chinook's Edge School Division is welcoming Cheryl Griffin as Vice Principal of Ross Ford Elementary School in Didsbury.
"Cheryl says she is enjoying collaboration with her school team, and opportunities to connect to divisional teams, too. She says she is looking forward to next year, and some goals staff will work on," shared Chinook's Edge.
In her free time, Griffin enjoys spending time with her family, tending to her garden, exploring new technology, baking, and playing the piano.
According to the school division's welcoming message, she has two favourite books currently:
- "Gone For Good" by Harlan Coban. Griffin says, "This is a page turner that kept me on the edge of my seat. It had lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end."
- "A Savage Act" by Patti Griffin. Griffin says, "Shamelessly, it's a favourite as it was written by my aunt! Also, it's a great read, pulling from Indigenous, social work, foster care, sibling and family lenses, and it's Canadian."
Stephanie Acreman will garner the role; she joins the school division from Fort Vermillion School Division, where she was a Grade 3 teacher and numeracy coach.
The school division has 12 schools in neighbouring communities, including Olds, Mountain View County, Didsbury and Carstairs. Chinook's Edge has a total of 11,000 students across 40 Central Alberta schools.
