G.W. Smith Elementary School

We hope everyone had a wonderful summer! We are so excited to welcome everyone back and get the new school year started!

This Friday, August 28th, from 8:30–10:00 a.m., we will be having our Supply Drop-Off Day and Morning Muffin & Mingle. Families are invited to stop by, enjoy a morning muffin, check out their child ’s classroom, drop off their labelled school supplies, and take some time to connect with other families.

We can’t wait to see everyone and kick off another wonderful school year together!

A HUGE thank you to for choosing our school as an Affiliate School this year! ⚾💙

Thanks to their generosity, our students received an amazing equipment kit, Blue Jays t-shirts, and hats to help inspire active play, teamwork, and confidence both on and off the field.

Thank you, Jays Care, for helping us create safe, welcoming, and empowering opportunities for students! Jays Care Foundation

What an AWESOME Field Day! Our students had a fantastic day filled with fun, teamwork, and friendly competition! A big thank you to our staff, volunteers, and student leaders who helped make the day such a success.

Due to the rainy weather in the forecast, our Field Day has been postponed to Tuesday morning rather than tomorrow. We can't wait to see everyone out enjoying Field Day on Tuesday!
