Being a Champion for Catholic Education
“As a member of Catholic School Council at both the elementary and secondary level, it has been my pleasure and privilege to have had the continued oppotunity to work with Elizabeth Crowe for more than 10 years. I would summarize her involvement based on 3 “C”s: Commiment, Communication and Caring.
Elizabeth has always shown her Commitment to the well-being, success and health of the students in the YCDSB. One example is how she worked with the Principal and CSC at St. Max to identify the need to upgrade the sports facility so as to dramatically improve the safety and enjoyment of the field and track for both the high school and the elementary schools that use the facility for their track events. She then worked at the Board level to gain funding and support and execute the vision.
With respect to open Communication, Elizabeth brings relevant information to our CSC meetings. Her knowledge and guidance helps council make the proper choices for enhancing our interaction with all parents.
Elizabeth is intrinsically a very Caring and sincere person. With her, the personal touch is never lost as we are ultimately dealing with a very delicate topic, out children’s education.
I continue to look forward to working with Elizabeth Crowe for the next four years.”
