2015 school year, Full Day
Kindergarten is now fully
implemented with 39
schools throughout Blue -
water District School
Board offering the program
to the local area's youngest
learners. Full Day Kinder-
garten has been phased
into Ontario schools over
the past five years. This
fall, the remaining 11 Blue -
water schools are ready for
the program with 27 new
classrooms (19 English and

health, resulting in better
social, economic, and
health outcomes through-
out the life cycle (Ontario

work - 2013). Some of the
data collected thus far
regarding Full Day Kinder-
garten indicates that par-
ticipating children dem-
onstrated improved scores
in social competence, lan-
guage and cognitive
development, and
communication.
In an effort to streamline
and align early childhood
education, all early years

Lucknow Sign
There is one thing that
is bugging me and has
been every time I have
been up to Lucknow in the
last little while.
The new sign on the way
into town is anemic,
dull and boring. It gives
the impression that the
town is that way as well
and that is anything but
true. As far as I am
concerned it is difficult to
see and it blends in to the
surrounding fields.
The old sign stood out
made reference to its his-
tory and the wording was
something that others
would remember.
What happened to the
old sign? If it needed
repair why wasn't it fixed
and if needed moved to
the present location?
