Congratulations to STF's own Miss Campbell on receiving this year's Christian Witness Award! Kara Campbell exudes faith, hope and a deep love of neighbour! Kara demonstrates exemplary leadership in the area of faith and is a true gem on our St. Francis staff. One of Kara’s greatest qualities is her authentic joyful attitude; in every single interaction, be it with the students she teaches, our staff or our parents, Kara seeks to see the face of Christ in everyone she meets. She is kind in word, and deed, and models authentic Catholic values both at school and in her personal life. Kara is authentically joyful and immensely positive and caring. Kara goes to great lengths to foster the development of her students’ spiritual growth as well as their academic development and success. By being the faith-filled, servant leader that she is, Kara motivates students to always be kind and do things as Jesus would do. Kara continually encourages students to develop and practice a meaningful prayer life and to share the love of God with others through kind words and deeds; Kara works tirelessly to serve each student’s unique needs by collaborating with the family, learning support and Administration. Kara also contributes to the faith life of St. Francis by leading prayer for our staff and actively contributing to and planning various faith activities for students. Kara pours her heart into everything she does and models servant leadership, whether it is through her teaching, collaborating with colleagues, modeling her faith through service and sharing her many gifts. Because of Kara’s authentic witness to faith, students and colleagues alike feel safe, supported, and loved; Kara builds a deep sense of belonging in all those entrusted to her care. Kara’s kindness and authentic love and passion for her vocation as a Catholic school teacher and leader prevail in all her interactions and we feel blessed to be in her faith-filled presence. She is an inspiration to us all, and a worthy recipient of the Christian Witness Award!
