A Bit of History

Who was Laura Secord?
The school is named after Laura Ingersoll Secord, a Canadian heroine of the War of 1812, who walked thirty-two kilometres to warn of an impending American attack on the British outpost at Beaver Dam in Upper Canada (Ontario). Laura Secord’s long dangerous walk became a favourite story among Canadians about the War of 1812. Keep your eyes open, and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of “Laura” at one of our school events.

Secord’s Mission Statement

Laura Secord Elementary is committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment in which all learners can develop their intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and creative potential in preparation for lifelong learning and success.

The staff of Laura Secord wishes all the families at Laura Secord a very happy holiday! We will return to school on Tuesday, January 3rd at the regular time. Our school is making a New Year's Resolution to try to be on time. We have changed the morning bell to 8:55 to give students a chance to line up and teachers a chance to proceed outside to pick up the students. We are hoping that you will work with us to help all our students be ready to start their day at 9:00 am. The morning hours before recess are very valuable learning time for our students.
