List... As with all neighborhoods, we are still having problems with our schools having the funding they should. Wenonah seems to have more programs due to more improvished funding and the care of a Principal. Keewayin, on the other hand, seems to have become the ugly stepsister that they wished would go away so it seems to be experiencing lack of funds, lack of overseeing by the actual Principal (only the intern), lack of programs etc. As the board had originally wanted, parents are leaving and next year the teachers count will be 8. There will not be art, reading programs, etc.
So, we are hoping to set up a volunteer program.... The items that we would like to cover are..art, reading, music, science, business, and if possible civics/democracy for grade school. If there is anyone reading this list that can help with any of these programs or knows of someone...please contact me off list. This will be for next year and we will need to set up the volunteer program...any ideas, any programs available, any resources...any thread of expertise will be woven into a learning experience for our children.. Of course, now we need to inform the school of what we wish to do!!! Thanks for all help given... Dorie Rae Gallagher Nokomis REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
