We were forced to do things a little differently again this year due to COVID restrictions, but we still managed to ensure all students participated in the Terry Fox School Run held on September 29th, 2021.

Thanks to the families who so graciously donated on our School Days website. We managed to raise $1309.00 for the Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre.

Thank you so much for your generosity. This year marked the 41st anniversary where over 800 million dollars has been raised in Terry’s honour. It would be difficult to say that we all don’t know someone who has been touched by cancer and Terry’s “Marathon of Hope” reminds us to keep striving to find a cure.

The 2023-2024 school year was certainly one for the history books. Finally, the School Board, Burkevale students, staff and the parent community received the long-awaited news of the approval of a new Burkevale School. Lord knows, we certainly need more space, and the excitement of creating a learning environment for every student to thrive individually and collectively is awe-inspiring. There is a portion of our new building that brings some sadness – 39 Burke Street has been Burkevale’s home for over a century! We shall grow and create new blossoms, but never forget our roots.
