RAMBLINGS by Pat Livingston Schoolcan be fun Ihad the opportunity to talk with . four public school students who had been in- volved with the Family Treasure Project at Lucknow Central Public School. If each child in the two classrooms was as enthusiastic as those four, the project was a tremendous success. The lessons learned were valuable, but not in the sense of a monetary value. Students' ap- preciation of the "old" was en- hanced as family stories were shared with the youngsters.. Young Bradley Gilchrist realized that the. old cradle he slept in as a baby was more than a place where he rested his head. Susan Guay was so keen on the project she is now contemplating what will , be her family treasure when she grows up and has her own children. Presently a special unicorn is out in front for being designatetfaas such. Angela Hartin now knows much more about her family history, and although she never knew them, Angela has some sort of 'feeling' for her great grandparents. Erin Eadie is a fountain of knowledge, about her MacKenzie relatives, and her excitement about the project is as evident in her as it is in the other three. The bottom line is the students involved in the project were taught that treasures do not have to be antiques with a monetary value, although some of them were. They know that the sentimental value of family treasures is much more important than the dollar value.. An important lesson for our youngsters to learn, and also one a number of. we adults should reinforcejn our minds. Thanks to the editor I wish to publicly thank, the editor for her 'super' response to my two 'last minute' actions, made" on two consecutive days - Monday and Tuesday of last week (May 3 & 4).
