Congratulations to Grand Erie’s Class of 2020

The celebrations may look a little different this year, but that certainly doesn’t diminish the immense pride Grand Erie’s teachers, administrators, support staff and Trustees have for the students in this year’s graduating classes. Students’ hard work and resilience has allowed them to achieve this important milestone, and will serve them well as they each embark on an exciting new chapter. To each and every graduating student and their families, congratulations on this wonderful achievement!

Minister of Education, Stephen Lecce, also shared his best wishes for all graduates in the Province of Ontario with these messages:

MPS learns about Ontario's role in the Underground Railroad

In honour of Black History month, Mt. Pleasant School welcomed a guest speaker, Mr. Michael Toby, to discuss Ontario's role in the Underground Railroad. Mr. Toby's unique presentation combined video, story telling and song to help students understand significance of the Underground Railroad. Students learned the role of music and song in guiding slaves towards the North. Students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we thank Mr. Toby for bringing his presentation to us.

Mustangs pledge their hands

Students and staff created individual handprints and contributed them to create this amazing piece of art. Each handprint is different and unique....kind of like our students! This month we celebrate our diversity.
