Bd. of Ed. approves new program The Huron County Board of Education has given its approval to a new guidance and health pro­ gram for Grades 7 and 8 students in thecounty. The motion was passed at the regular board meeting in Clinton February 1. The Quest Program has been adapted as a follow-up to the much acclaimed Grade 6 Values, Influ­ ences and Peers (VIP) program which has been held throughout the county over the past two years. Sponsored financially by the Lions Clubs International, the Quest program contains lessons on such topics as family co-operation, decision making, handling emo­ tions and alcohol and drug abuse. The program is intended to address many of the primary causes of the problems often experienced by adolescents, in­ cluding low self esteem, difficulty in coping with peer pressure, poor family communication, irrespon­ sibility, poor decision making and lack of goals. It consists of 60, 35-minute sessions, and teachers must take part in an intensive three-day workshop in order to conduct it. A $23,000 commitment by the Lions Club International will cover the cost of the student and parent workbooks used in the Huron County program, while the Board of Education will fund the costs of training the teachers involved, estimated at about $8,400. To avoid the extra costs of hiring substitute teachers while the regular teachers undergo the Quest training, the HCBE has contracted the workshop for June 27-29, after the students are released for summer holidays. The flowers in the sanctuary were from the funeral of the late Miss Laura Phillips. Call to Worship was read alternately followed by the hymn, * ‘ Praise The Lord Ye Heaven’s Adore Him’’.
