Huron Expositor, 2007-12-12, Page 20Page 20 The Huron Expositor • December 12, 2007 News SPS fundraising to continue peace garden project Aaron jack 1 i n Seaforth Public School is currently raising money to do work on the school's peace garden in the spring. "Right now, over the winter, we're busy fundraising to raise money to do the paving," said teacher Nancy Kale. Located on the east side of the school, the peace garden has been in the works on school grounds for about a year and a half and on paper for a number of years. Kale has been one of the people organizing the project. Bill Farnell, a former teacher who retired recent- ly, was another. "Right now it consists of an amphitheatre, which is our outdoor classroom," said Kale, noting that has been built from large landscape rock. "That went in in the spring, along with one of the gardens," she said. They're going to pave the base of the amphitheatre and create a path to make it accessible to people in wheelchairs. "People can buy a paving stone and have it engraved for $50," she said, noting they could engrave the stone with whoever's name they like. One of the campaigns they're working on now is to sell frozen food. "Order forms have gone home with every family and they take orders StiS ELECTRIC Steven Wynja RR#1 Seaforth ON (519)525-2389 Agricultural • Residential Commercial • Pole Line Construction ECRA-FSA License# 7000258 from their friends and family," she said. Forms were due this week. The food - which includes things like cookie and muffin mixes, hors d'oeu- vres and the like - is scheduled to be delivered by Christmas. Kale said they're also in the process of a letter campaign to ask local businesses and organizations for donations. "It is such a huge project," she said. "The peace garden is also accessible to the community and involves the community -as well." The letter -writing campaign was started by SPS's former principal Kim Black. "She set things in motion before she left," said Kale. "Now we just spot is available phone 527-0240 need to get those addressed and get them out." • Right now the peace garden is only accessible to intermediate stu- dents during.recess. "They use it all the time. They sit there and talk," she said. "Hopefully when the garden gets established, then we can develop curriculum and use the outdoor classroom and actu- ally take their classes out there." At this point, it's not established enough. They also need some more shade. "We've got trees planted, but they have to grow," she said. "That's all in the plan. Things will come together."
