This year, 708 students have registered for classes in the three public schools in the area. At the same time last year, student registrations at the three schools totaled 739. Brookside Public School, the largest public school in the immediate area as far as student population is concerned, saw 379 students register on the first day of school last week. That number is just two children short of last year's total. Brookside School is welcoming three new teachers this year as. well. Margriet Knetsch has joined the staff as a French instructor; Bill Farnell will handle School Resources for all grades and Paul Spittal has now joined the staff to keep his wat- chful eye on Grades Five and Six. Brookside also boasts a new portable classroom this year which, it is believed, will aid considerably in classroom allotment. ,Reunion involvement Plans are well underway for the schedul- ed 1988 Reunion in Lucknow and the assistance of Sentinel readers is requested.
