Discovering hidden treasures during home renovations can be an unexpected delight, as one local recently experienced after renovating their kitchen. While working between the oven and drawer, they stumbled upon an old certificate dating back to 2013, belonging to what she assumed, was one of the previous homeowners.
In a commendable effort to reunite the certificate with its rightful owner, the new homeowner took to social media, posting on a local Facebook community page to seek assistance in tracking down the award recipient.
The certificate was an acknowledgment of a teacher aide and school support staff member at Pioneer State School, thanking the recipient for ongoing commitment to students, staff and the wider pioneer community.
Shortly after the post was made public, the original owner of the certificate was located. Overjoyed at the unexpected find, the owner expressed gratitude for the opportunity to reconnect with a piece of their past and reminisce about their time teaching at Pioneer High.
The discovery of the certificate not only brought back cherished memories for its owner but also highlighted the goodness of community and social media in enabling meaningful connections.
“Wow, how amazing is this!
“It brings back wonderful memories of a great time at Pioneer High.”
Further adding, “Thanks to everyone that tagged me.”
