SOUTH GRENVILLE - The end of the school year is a time to reflect on the past and look ahead to the future, and that was certainly the case locally last week.

As excited students left their classrooms to begin the summer holiday on Wednesday, many staff prepared for changes at all local public and Catholic schools in the South Grenville area. Five elementary schools - Algonquin, Central, North Edwardsburgh, St. Joseph and St. Mark - are now closed. The new St. Mark Catholic School being built beside the St. Joseph building on McAuley Road will house Kindergarten through Grade 8 classes previously based at the St. Mark building on Edward Street and at St. Joseph.
