Normanby Community School in Ayton is a fine example of a small school within Bluewater District School Board that has amazing parent and community support!
Over the course of only four months, a fundraising initiative by the School Council has garnered $18,000 towards a goal of $100,000 for new playground equipment.
Members of the group have been busy reaching out to local businesses and organizations with letters to encourage donations for their Playground Equipment Fund. The generosity and support within the community thus far has been extremely heartwarming, and the School Council has every reason to be proud of its efforts!
Plans are underway to continue running fundraisers throughout the remainder of the school year, as well as apply to grant programs, in the hopes of reaching their goal within a two-year time frame.

Bluewater District School Board is tremendously fortunate to have a wealth of dedicated and passionate volunteers who contribute their time, ideas, skills, and talents to School Councils. Staff and trustees are grateful for their generous efforts, which are instrumental in fostering a positive school community culture and in providing meaningful opportunities for students.
