Gordon McGregor Public School

• hi, i have purchased cookie dough from one of your students for the last few years. i was quite disappointed to learn that the sale of peanut butter and white macadamia nut cookie dough has stopped. i noticed that the students' sales have plummeted due to this, and i am sure that the overall income from the sales has done so as well. hopefully next year these products will return and more income can be made for the school.

• i remember how big the school was i was there from grade 1 to 8 graduated in 2001 great school cool teachers had a blast good times

• i used to go to that school and i loved it

• I attended Gordon McGregor from Sept '58 to June '67. When I started there were four half time kindergarden classes and when left in 67 there were just under 1000 students. When my youngest sister graduated from the place there were about 275 sutdents in '75.

• i wonder what would happen if this school closed witch is what is up on the scool boad agenda it is vary old and the only one in our comunity i just bought a house here i love the area and this school please help save it.....

• Many, many years ago (I'm in my 50s), I attended kindergarted at McGregor and then moved across Tecumseh Road and attended Mayfair (which was on Chandler, if I recall correctly) until it closed and went to McGregor for part of grade seven, moving shortly after the horrible unsolved murder of six-year-old Ljubica Topic, who was taken from her backyard, sexually assaulted and beaten to death in 1971.
  Unfortunately, with the failure of the municipal government to change the city's image to attract new business, the days of these mega-scools are coming to an end. It would seem much more viable to have the children attend Maxwell and then move on to Herman. Their transition would seem much easier.
  Chalk up the future closure of Gordon McGregor to the exodus of educated persons from this area. Windsor is fact becoming a complete inner city area, where only the poor remain. Much like Detroit in the 1980's.
  And try as you might, you can't change fact. Windsor is dead.

• I wounder where you get your imformatiom about "educated people" leaveing the area as the cause of school closing. Both the public, and seperate boards are losing students across their systems, their are many reasons, such as smaller families, lower birthrates, and an ageing population.
  Windsor has had an image of a lunch bucket, union town, that was almost totaley dependent on the auto industry, with it many ups and downs.
  Many people in Windsor would disagree with your assesment of our future. Drive around the city not around the Casino, but the rest of Windsor I think you will find that compared to other Canadian cities we look just as good.
  The image of the city is reflected by the action of the resadents, so cheer up and look at the brightside of life.

• I went to this school ( 1941 to 1947 At that time there was a lot of kids at that time I'm not sure but i think about 1,000 more or less

• I went to Gordon McGregor from S.K to Gr.8. I graduated in 90. It was great because i had the same friends all the way through school. It was a great time. It would be sad to see it close and become something else.

• I went to that school from 1981 to 1990. I went back in July 2009 to tour it with my daughter. The memories flooded back. It's a shame that they are closing it. I attended L.D. Lowe and that closed too.
