Gibsons Elementary officially opens

Bright party hats, cake, and music were the order of the day at Tuesday’s official opening of the new Gibsons Elementary.

Students have already been going to class in the 14.4-million dollar facility for most of the school year.

And a pair of Grade 2 students, who were the youngest at the old school when construction started, offered their thoughts.

As well as space for 300 students in grades 1 through 7, the school includes two full-day kindergarten classes, a StrongStart centre, and a Neighbourhood Learning Centre.

School Board Chair Betty Baxter says it’s not just the students who have something to celebrate… the school is going to be a new community space as well.
