St. Boniface
Maryhill, Ontario 52 / 137 Books Given
Principal Marylin Dawson We have a student population that loves to read. For a small school our checkout statistics are incredible.

Students do not have a public library readily accessible to them. Additional resources would be so welcomed at St. Boniface.
