Principal hopes to get a creative playground One of the projects new principal Syd Fletcher is trying to get underway at Grand Bend Public School is the addition of a creative playground to the school. This fall he hopes to acquire some tires and half bury then in the ground to define the perimeters of the playground. Next year, he said, he hopes to recruit a number of people to help build the actual area. Fletcher is beginning his first year as principal at the school after teaching at Euphemia in South Lamb - ton. He said a creative playground derives its name from the fact that the kids are creative when playing on the equipment. Some of the games they come up with are amazing, he said. The designers of the playground also have to be creative in the way they make use of the materials available. He said Euphemia had a playground built about four years ago, but they can keep adding onto it as they get more material. Some of the various materials needed are tires beams, railway ties, as well as man power to assist in the building of the area. With 10 to 15 people, he said it is amazing what they can get accomplished on a Saturday morning. Fletcher had a bulletin board displaying the various types of playgrounds that can be built in the open house last week. Several people did make enquiries he said. The school hosted the open house for parents to come and meet teschers and to find out what the children are doing this year. Several boys demon- strated a "Magic trick" which demonstrated air displacing water. Children's work was also displayed throughout the classrooms. Fletcher said the children have recently completed a kilometre run which covered the space of two weeks. The proceeds from the first day of the run went to the Terry Fox Fund. The money raised over the next nine days is to be used for school trips over the course of the year. He said almost all of the children participated in the run. The top male runner was Robbie Oliver, 11, with 105 laps for the school. Tied for the top female honours were sisters Shelli, 11 and Kim 10 Finch with 77 laps each. The top runners were awarded that status on the amount of distance covered, not the amount of money raised. No figures are available on how much money was raised, but Fletcher said last years, the students raised $1,800. Many of the students used this run as practise for the cross country meet taking place this week.
