PRO Grant 2009/2010 - Connection Expo @ Bowmore


In case you haven't had a chance to read the May Newsletter yet, we wanted another outlet to give thanks:

CONNECTION EXPO @ BOWMORE IS VERY
THANKFUL

The Bowmore School Council would like to thank the
Ontario Ministry of Education for the $550 Parents
Reaching Out Grant (PRO)

@ Bowmore on Wednesday, May 5, 2010.

The event took place the same night as the school’s Living and Learning
