From Trail to Den
One Community, Many Voices
Darryl Paziuk, Principal, Gibbons School
I’m truly excited to be returning to Gibbons School as your principal. After 23 years in education—19 of them right here at Gibbons—this school feels like home to me. I’ve been fortunate to spend much of my career working alongside incredible students, families, and staff, and I’m eager to reconnect with familiar faces while getting to know the new ones who have joined our community.
My passion has always been creating a welcoming, supportive environment where every student feels valued and inspired to do their best. I look forward to celebrating our successes, tackling challenges together, and continuing to make Gibbons School a place where learning is engaging, relationships are strong, and school spirit runs deep.
It’s great to be back—let’s make this an amazing year!
Nicole Eisenkrein, Vice Principal, Gibbons School
I am excited to be joining the Gibbons School community as vice principal and I look forward to the year ahead. I have been part of Sturgeon Public Schools since 2004, spending most of my career based out of Namao School, as an elementary and junior high teacher, learning coach, and most recently as acting vice principal. This past spring, I had the opportunity to serve as acting vice principal at Landing Trail School, and I have loved meeting families within Gibbons. I’m now looking forward to transitioning to Gibbons School alongside our Grade 5 students and getting to know the wonderful staff, students, and families that make up this vibrant school community.
Creating an inclusive, engaging, and supportive school environment has always been a central focus of my work. I believe in the importance of building strong relationships and creating a school culture where students can thrive. I look forward to growing and learning alongside our students and contributing to the continued success of Gibbons School.
Louise Loh, Principal, Landing Trail School
I am proud to serve as the principal of both Landing Trail School and Legal Public School. I bring 25 years of experience in education, including teaching from Kindergarten to Grade 9 in rural, urban, and international settings. I remain especially honoured to lead Landing Trail, where I began my teaching career over two decades ago.
My focus is on building strong relationships, supporting high-quality teaching, and creating safe, inclusive spaces where every student can grow and thrive. Our theme this year is #webelong — a reminder that belonging is something we build together.
You’ll also see our school therapy dog, Boba, around the halls again this year — she’s proudly beginning her fourth year of service supporting student well-being.
I’m so grateful to be part of both communities and look forward to a year of connection, learning, and shared growth.
Andrea Ameobi, Vice Principal, Landing Trail School
Mrs. Andrea Ameobi will be returning to Landing Trail School as Vice Principal in January 2026, and we are thrilled to welcome her back to the leadership team. Mrs. Ameobi brings 13 years of teaching experience in Sturgeon Public Schools and served as Acting Vice Principal at Legal Public School in 2023/2024.
“Growing up in Sturgeon County and having spent many years teaching here, this community holds a special place in my heart. I’m excited to return to Landing Trail and to work alongside colleagues in creating a true sense of belonging for students and families.”
We look forward to the knowledge, dedication, and warmth Mrs. Ameobi will bring as she rejoins us for the 2025–2026 school year.
Tarra Larson, Acting Vice Principal (September - December)
Hello Landing Trail Families,
My name is Tarra Larson, and I am excited to introduce myself as the Acting Vice Principal at Landing Trail School for the beginning of the 2025- 2026 school year. I’ve spent my entire career working with young learners in Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 4, and I am passionate about fostering inclusive, supportive environments where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired to learn.
Building strong relationships is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that open communication and collaboration between home and school are essential to student success, and I look forward to working alongside you to support your child’s growth and well-being. I can’t wait to connect with you and your children in the hallways, classrooms, and at school events. Wishing you all a wonderful summer full of rest, joy, and all the good things!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Larson
