​George Waters Middle School is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year with the support of local partnerships. 

On Tuesday, November 27, the school hosted a special assembly in honour of this exciting milestone. Two honoured guests joined the celebration as both Mr. Bill Cann, the school's first principal, and Mr. Bruce Waters, son of Mr. George Waters, shared meaningful and informative presentations with the student body. The students watched a video presentation created by a long-standing teacher at the school and then enjoyed a slice of cake during the lunch hour, served up by their peers.

The following day, a group of GWMS student leaders were invited to an assembly at the Manitoba Legislative Building to witness the acknowledgement of their school's anniversary. Local MLA Mr. Scott Johnston announced the 25th anniversary at the assembly and shared a piece of the school's history.  He also highlighted the school's extended list of programming, sizeable enrollment and supportive community. 

While George Waters Middle School officially opened its doors on November 24, 1993, the students and staff currently in the building plan to celebrate this anniversary all year long! Plans are already underway to carry out a 25-year time capsule with all the classes in the building to warmly usher in the next 25 years.  Happy Anniversary, George Waters Middle School!
