Standout upgrades include revamped Learning Commons to enjoy at Delhi Public School, Pauline Johnson Collegiate and Vocational School and Grandview Public School, as well as new flooring and wall paneling in gymnasiums at Princess Elizabeth Public School and Lakewood Elementary School.
Exterior enhancements encourage safe pick-up and drop-off procedures, particularly with a new driveway loop at J.L.

Additionally, sections of the roof were replaced at Dunnville Secondary School, Grandview Public School, James Hillier Public School, Lakewood Elementary School, Oakland-Scotland Public School, North Ward School, Bellview Public School and Cayuga Secondary School.
Several electrical panels and main services were replaced at Teeterville Public School, Walpole North Elementary School, Burford District Elementary School, Prince Charles Public School, Greenbrier Public School, Centennial-Grand Woodlands School and Waterford Public School.
HVAC and boiler updates to improve ventilation took place at King George School, Woodman-Cainsville School, Pauline Johnson Collegiate and Vocational School, Echo Place School, Walpole North Elementary School, Princess Elizabeth Public School, J.L. Mitchener Public School, École Dufferin, Bellview Public School, Seneca Central Public School, Brier Park Public School and Teeterville Public School.
Each investment was accomplished in support of Grand Erie’s Multi-Year plan to create safe, inclusive and comfortable spaces in which students feel empowered and ready to learn. Here’s to the start of another grand school year!
Thank you Queensview Retirement Community for donating $1,000 to our playground fundraiser
In an effort to build a better school playground we are trying to raise money for two playground structures with landscaping. This project will make a positive difference for 400+ elementary students at North Ward School. The estimated costs to complete the project is $75,000 to $100,000. Our school has raised approximately $11,000 through our recent Danceathon. Thank you to Queensview Retirement Community and R.T . Systems Inc. for donating $1000 each to our important cause.
For charitable donations of $1,000 or more, we can provide a charitable donation receipt, an acknowledgement on our outdoor school sign (see photo) and an acknowledgement in our school website. We will also include the name of the business or community group on a permanent plaque displayed inside our school.
For further information on donating to our playground project please contact the Ms. Shaheen or Mr. Holmes at: 519-442-2311.
Together, let's build a better playground!
