More computers
from hindraising
There are more computers
in the classroom thanks to
successful Students' Council
Organized fundraising at
Seaforth Public School. The
council has committed
approximately $5,500 to the
purchase of two computers.
That amount has been
matched by the school board.
The school's budget has
also'allowed the purchase of
a fifth computer, and a spe-
cial government grant has
brought the total of new com-
puters at the school to six.
Each of the computers is
networked, meaning students
can access the Internet, store
files on the file server and
print to a networked printer.
Each is a multi -media com-
puter so CD software can be
utilized in the classroom.
The six new computers,
along with the current bank
of fourteen networked com-
puters in the library, puts the
school in the position to use
computers in many aspects of
its programs. The primary
classroom computers, even
though they are multi -media
machines, are not network -
able, so will be upgraded
sometime in the future.
New Backboards
Students' Council has also
purchased five new steel bas-
ketball backboards at a cost
of $2,870. Two will be used
to improve the gymnasium.
Three others will be installed
on the yard when the weather
improves.
Thanks to everyone who
has supported the Students'
Council fundraising endeav-
ors this year. A special thank
you to parents who made
direct donations to the com-
puter fund.
Second Raffle
In further fundraising, the
schools' advisory council
undertook its second annual
raffle March 4. Thirty prizes

AFTER THE PARROT PINATA - Resident Eleanore Sharpe takes a swing at a parrot
pinata full of candy at Thursday's Mexican Fiesta held at Seaforth Manor's activity room.
Fighting winter blahs at Mexican Fiesta
Residents of Seaforth
Manor Nursing Home
enjoyed joining the
Retirement Home folks for a
colorful "Mexican Fiesta"
during February. The base-
ment activity room was fes-
tively decorated for the event
and everyone took interest in
the display of souvenirs
brought back from Mexico
by several staff members. A
scenic travelogue took every-
one to the sunny beaches of
Cancun, Merida and the
Yucatan peninsula for the
afternoon followed by a tasty
treat of nachos and salsa. The
finale of the afternoon was
the breaking of the pinniata
with candy for everyone.
Residents traded in their
authentic tickets to Mexico
for a chance at a lucky draw.
Winners were Theresa
Lauzon from the nursing
home and Eleanor Sharp and
Isobel Murray from the
