You would not recognize this building today! What is happening to every school this week, a good summer cleaning, is happening here at SMB. Nothing is where we left it. Shortly, things will be back in their place.  As the administrative assistants finish the year end tasks, the custodail staff is busy cleaning and organizing and a teacher or two drops in to wrap things up. The halls are quiet.  This is the last offiicial task I will be doing at Sir Mackenzie Bowell Public School.  However, it is an important one.  Our last electronic communication with our wider community.  We wanted to share the final SMB slide show that was presented here at SMB during our spring open house.  In it, we examine THEN and NOW. Perhaps it will serve as a spring board for some of your own memories.  The school will open it's doors and welcome in students for the fall of 2012 - but not as SMB. Students will be moving to their new school shortly - once the incredible renovations are complete.

Today was a special School Spirit Day at SMB, with students and teachers sporting their most comfortable PJs and slippers. While bare feet were not permitted (students must wear footwear at all times for safety reasons), there were a few instances of bear feet.

Participation in the spirit day was very high, with a combined total for students and staff of 80% participation! Well done SMB students and staff!
