North Perth Residents Can Help Name Their New School

North Perth residents can help name the new elementary school

The new facility is under construction just west of Listowel.

Students from the current Listowel Central and Wallace Public Schools will attend the school in September.

There is a school naming survey being launched to help come up with suggestions and all of the ideas will be submitted to the transition committee for a decision.

The committee includes members from each school, municipal council and the school board.

The deadline is January 8 to get your submission in, then the committee will short list suggestions. School trustees will make the final decisions

You can find the survey at school offices, and on the Wallace and Listowel Central Facebook pages.
