Sir Edgar Bauer is a Catholic elementary school in Waterloo, Ontario.[1] It was founded in 1970, and originally was built with just 10 classrooms. It was named after the local man Sir Edgar Jacob Bauer, a devout catholic, and a good businessman. It had an addition built in 1996 after the school had two times the number of children it was originally built for. During its major crowding in the nineties there were so many students that the school had 14 portables. The addition included a larger gym, with the former gym becoming a library, as well as several classrooms now used by intermediate and primary students. Much of the money for the renovations for the school was provided by mothers angry by the overcrowding, through a fund-raiser.[2]
Currently
The school currently holds some 300 students, down from nearly 700 in the mid-nineties. The school enrolls students from Kindergarten to Grade 8, and has all-day kindergarten. The grounds also contain a blacktop, four basketball nets, six soccer nets, two baseball diamonds and a playground, while there are more than 20 classrooms, as well as a gym and library.
