We will keep everyone updated as the situation changes. All afterschool activities and away games are cancelled for today and tomorrow.
Safety and security is paramount for our students and staff. Given the
situation in the Rexton community, we are following our regular
procedures and all three schools – Rexton Elementary School, Eleanor W.
Graham Middle School and Bonar Law Memorial High School – are currently
in lock down. Updates will be posted on the website as they become

This year, as
part of the SEVEC (Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada)
program, Bonar Law Memorial School has been paired with a school in Swift
Current, Saskatchewan. The students from
Saskatchewan will be visiting us for a week, and we will fly to Swift Current
for a week! This is a program
subsidized by the federal government so the cost of travel is covered by
them. When we are travelling, we will be doing a home-stay with our Saskatchewan
twin, and they will stay with us when they are here, which means costs of food
Our school is committed to keeping teens safe on the road and that's why we're participating in Celebrate My Drive! By participating you can also help our school win a $100,000 grant and possibly a concert by a chart topping music artist right here in our own town...It's simple, log onto celebratemydrive.com and indicate you want to support Bonar Law Memorial School and commit to drive safely. Make a safe driving commitment once a day, every day, between October 18 and 26. Tell your family and friends who are age 14 and older to get involved too.
Bonar Law School has been advised as a result of a court order to inform students and parents that students are to remain on school property for their safety.Should they choose to go near the protest site they may be detained, and or charged with obstruction.
Rexton Elementary School is seeking community volunteers to assist with literacy for Grade 2 students. We are preparing to implement a program called “ELF”.
