At Reynolds Central School, student and staff safety is our number one priority. We are raising funds to purchase a Philips HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator—a reliable, user-friendly device that can make all the difference during a sudden cardiac emergency. Currently, our school does not have an AED. In those critical moments, having one on-site would allow staff to respond immediately while waiting for emergency services—potentially saving a life.

The Melfort Kinette Club has graciously donated $1,100.00 towards our purchase and member Jessica Yaworski presented the cheque to us at our Welcome Assembly this Thursday. Thank you for helping us build a safer school environment!

If you’d like to support this important project, please call us at 306-752-2525, email us at reynolds@nesd.ca, or stop by the office.

Reynolds Playground Committee Update

September 2025

While you haven’t heard much from the Playground Committee lately, we are still here working towards improving the school playground!

Over the last year we have been able to raise $18,143.93. This includes funds raised by the Mom’s Pantry Fundraiser, hot lunches, Track and Field Canteen, Prairie North COOP Sustainable Communities Grant and recent sponsorships.

These funds mean that there will be some additions made to the playground this fall. 1Stop Playgrounds will be installing a second barrel spinner, a disc swing and new basketball standards. We have also purchased two complete soccer nets from Northland Recreation Supply. We hope to have all of these items in place by the end of October.

Hot lunches will continue throughout the year thanks to Kathy, Crystal, and all of the parents and community members who volunteer.

Mom’s Pantry will also run from October 15th to November 1st in the same format as last year. Orders will be ready to pick-up approximately two weeks after the deadline.

The Track and Field Canteen will be the last fundraiser of the year.

As always, if you have ideas for the playground or would like to volunteer for our committee please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you so much for your support!
