EDMONTON PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD - RECOGNITION OF SERVICE AWARD
Mike Stefan, M.E. LaZerte During his high school years, Mike was known as a talented athlete and an excellent ambassador for M.E. LaZerte by displaying great citizenship in the community. Years later, Mike decided to give back to the school that had meant so much to him. Working with school administrators, Mike created the M.E. LaZerte Athletics Alumni Association. This organization connects student athletes past, present and future, and works to make sure finances aren’t an obstacle for any student who wants to be involved in sports. Mike hosts numerous fundraising events, highlights businesses that support the Association—many of which are owned or managed by LaZerte alumni. Through his desire to give back, Mike has created a wide network of people who are all connected by M.E. LaZerte school and its athletics program. In addition to supporting athletics at M.E. LaZerte, Mike supports initiatives to provide skills training camps for junior high athletes at M.E. LaZerte’s feeder schools. These camps are provided at no cost to the students and coaches. Mike’s ability to connect to people helped him organize a huge homecoming game for the senior football team. This event showed how talented Mike is at planning and organizing events, but also his ability to bring people together. In the words of M.E. LaZerte Athletics Director, Riley Carleton, Mike “created an atmosphere where past Voyageurs and present Voyageurs came together as one. This event was a huge success and was just the kickoff to many more great events.”
