The main area of the Borden School gym is temporarily closed while the roof and ceiling are being redone. There is no structural damage and the gym is not condemned as the rumour that is circulating around says. The renovating was to be done over the summer at the same time the classrooms were all repainted and other renovations done, but the crew weren't able to get to Borden until the end of August. Students are practising volleyball in Langham for the next month or two.

Enrollment at the school is 104, which includes 11 kindergarten students who will start the week of Sept. 17. The Borden School Community Council is holding a trade show Sept. 12 at the community centre at 6:30 p.m., showcasing what the school and community has to offer. The new staff will be introduced at that time.
