Bonaventure Meadows P.S.

Bonaventure Meadows Public School is an elementary school serving the community of London, Ontario. The school was opened to students on Tuesday September 6, 1994. The school is located on grounds that at one time was nothing more than open meadow. Terry Wilkins provides leadership to the school as the principal and Christine Masterson supports Mr. Wilkins in her capacity as vice principal at BMPS.

Our school is located at 141 Bonaventure Drive on the East side of London near Dundas Street East and Airport Road. We are a considerably large school with a student population approaching 700 in number. Our school is equipped with a large gymnasium/auditorium, a large library with an accompanying computer lab, two additional computer labs, and a child care center. Instruction ranges from junior kindergarten up to grade 8.

	*Intramural Basketball* Mr. Edgeworth, with the assistance of grade 7-8 students is offering intramural basketball to students at Bonaventure during recess and noonhour. A schedule of play can be downloaded by selecting the graphic to the left.
	Good News - Once again the milk program is being offered to grade 1-8 students at morning recess. Not only does milk provide 15 essential nutrients that children need to grow, it gives energy they need to get the most out of their day and helps children concentrate. This year all proceeds from the milk program will go towards resources to support our school literacy program. Order forms have just been sent home for January and are to be returned to your child's classroom teacher by Friday, December 16th. Payments can be by cash (exact amount) or cheque payable to the BMPS Milk Program. A form can be downloaded by selecting the graphic on the left. Thank you for your support. Please direct any questions to Mrs. Tague @ 519 452-8060.
