School Message 

It was uplifting to see some of our families out to attend our Community Supports and Wellness event.  For a first year, it was very successful and we are grateful for the efforts of school council, the school staff and the community agencies to volunteer their time to make this valuable event possible.  We have already started planning for next year to make it bigger and better! 😊  Music Monday is happening on May 4, and we look forward to hearing the talented musicians of West Bayfield E.S. as they present for the school.  Rugby is up and running and our team has won their first three games.  Thank you to our coaches for volunteering their time.  We had our Lockdown Drill this week to make sure that our students know how to respond in the event of an emergency.  Thank you to the Barrie Police for helping us learn to be safe.  Have a great weekend.  See you Monday!
