The Spark Education Conference is a day designed to celebrate and empower educators as they get ready for the new school year. The event blends inspiration with practical learning, offering a vibrant atmosphere where teachers can connect with colleagues, gain fresh perspectives from keynote speakers, and choose from a variety of engaging breakout sessions. With opportunities to learn new teaching strategies and receive special awards, the event helps reignite their passion for education and prepares them to start the year feeling inspired and supported.

Julie Billiart Schools is proud to announce that Sydney LaPointe and Jodi Johnston, two of our outstanding staff members, received the prestigious Spark Teacher Awards for their exceptional commitment to education.

Sydney LaPointe, Third Grade Intervention Specialist at JB Westlake, received the Spark Teacher Award for her incredible dedication and positive impact on the entire school community. Her passion for teaching and unwavering commitment to her students truly sets her apart. She's described as having a "magnetic" personality, with an authentic and humble spirit that makes a difference not only in the classroom but also among her colleagues. This award is a testament to her inspiring work and the compassionate, encouraging environment she creates every day.

Jodi Johnston, Chief Schools Officer, received the Spark Teacher Award for her unwavering commitment to the educational community. Beginning her JB career in the classroom and then Principal at JB Lyndhurst, Jodi continues to be a powerful force for growth, actively mentoring our teachers and staff. This award is a testament to her dedication to making a difference, not just for students, but for the entire Julie Billiart Schools community.

The awards are a testament to the passion and innovative spirit that Sydney and Jodi bring to JB every day. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication to our students. Their recognition shines a light on the high standards of excellence we hold at Julie Billiart Schools, and we are honored to have them as part of our community.
