Huron Expositor, 2006-05-03, Page 20Poge 20 May 3, 2006 • The Huron Expositor News Huron Centennial building green classroom Jennifer Hubbard Huron Centennial is going green. Thanks to the dedication of the Brucefield school's parent coun- cil, construction will soon start on its green classroom — a pavilion -like structure in the intermediate yard. "When I first came here two and a half years ago the staff said a green classroom wasone of their long range plans," principal Debra Gill explained. "We have 33 acres of laud and we wanted to celebrate that unique aspect of our school. All we did was put a call out for interested people and we got a wonderful response." Plans have been drafted and Gill said she is hoping to see the cement foundation — 30 by 40 feet — poured this month. A tentative completion date is set for September of 2006. Upcoming fundraisers for the $15-20,000 project pavilion include a Family Festival on May 11 at the school and BX 93 Video Dance — hosted by the parent coun- cil — at the Bayfield arena. "We have a hiking trail out back and snowshoes to use in the winter, but I don't think we're really using our green space enough," Gill said. "This will change that." Gill said the proposed loca- tion will allow for easy supervision during both recess and classroom activities. And, while the pavilion will be located in the intermediate yard, it will be accessible to students of all ages. "Teachers will be able to access the classroom during the school day by signing up for a cer- tain time period," she said, adding the space could be used for science, music, writing, art, English and a variety of other subjects. "We know now that we need to provide more opportunity for variations in our teaching methods. Some students are natural learners and this will really help us to reach them." Upon completion, the class- room will have electricity, water and telephone accessibility. Gardens are planned for the spring and summer months and an ice rink is a possibility in the win- ter. "It's their vision and I know this classroom will become an inte- gral part of the school community," Gill said of the project's volunteers. A plaque inside the school will recognize families that con- tributed to the project. • _ ; - ENO I SAT/ON AND HOME SPECIALISTS!"

PLANS AND RENDERINGS CI COPYRIGHT JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED • • JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED STRAIGHT ENTRY Dormer windows, "fish -scale" siding and a wrap-around porch combine to lend this two-storey design a gracious country ambience. The eye-catching porch will beam a welcome to guests— just add some traditional wicker furniture for a cool seating area during warm weather. Entry is through a compact foyer, and straight ahead are stairs to the second floor. A study to the right is ideally situated to serve as either a home office or a private den for quiet reading. Thanks to its location next to the front door, the room means visitors to a home office will not have to walk through the house. A sliding pocket door opens to the breakfast room, which flows into the kitchen and enjoys access to the back garden.

Volunteers will be asking their neigh- bours and friends to register and raise funds for quality pal- liative care in Huron County. Ninety-five per cent of Canadians say they want hospice pallia- tive care at the end of their lives, yet less than 15 per cent have access to it. Palliative care is a special kind of health- care for people living through a life-threat- ening illness that is at an advanced stage. Funds raised during Hike for Hospice pro- vide information about financial, legal and other services, plan- ning with loved ones for a team approach, telephone counselling in crisis situations, respite care for at- home caregivers and ongoing bereavement support after the death of a loved one. To register and make a donation, call the Seaforth office at 527-0655 for Shirley Dinsmore or 262-3505 for Janis Bisback.
