About Our School
St. Louis is a small catholic elementary school in an area referred to as Keewatin in the city of Kenora.
The school is situated in a quiet residential area and in close proximity to St. Louis parish church.
Our population is drawn from the rural areas north and west of Kenora and the previous township of
Keewatin. The school received a major renovation in 1987 when 2 new classes, gymnasium and office
area were added. This school is well founded in the history of the town dating back to when it was
administered by the nuns.
About Our Parents and Community
Ours is a very supportive and positive community. The school is closely tied
with the parish church where we celebrate mass together on the first Friday
of every month. We have a large number of parents who take on many tasks
in the school. The school council is very active and supportive of our school.
The parents fundraise for special projects for the school such as books for the
library, prizes for special events and financial support for our musicals.
About Our Staff
The staff works in unison to enrich school life at St. Louis School. From the
classrooms, to the gym, outdoor education, cross-country skiing, play day or
track and field they expand our student's experience. They bring many years
of experience to their challenge of instruction, inspiring, motivating and leading
young people. Co-operation among the staff makes for a very pleasant working
environment. Much laughter is heard on a daily basis. The students emulate this
positive attitude. Each staff brings a special skill and talent that extends our
students' experience.
