Mohawk Gardens 50th Anniversary

FYI: Some of the featured artists are former or current MG parents.

Sad news to share about our long-time Spruce/Bevan crossing guard, Gary, who will be greatly missed in our community.
"For a decade, he faithfully served as a crossing guard, ensuring the safe passage of countless children to and from, most recently Mohawk Gardens Public School. Rain or shine, his smiling face and warm presence provided reassurance and comfort to both students and parents alike. Gary's unwavering dedication left a mark on the community he served."
