"This is an opportunity to elimi- nate confusing messages," said Beth Wilck who chaired the nutri- tion committee. Wilck is a nutritionist working for the Health Unit and helped set up the draft policy guidelines which were approved by the Huron County Board of Education on Monday. The new policy will strive to help students better understand the infor- mation on nutrition that they learn in the classroom so they can apply it to what they eat. The report states that foods served or sold in Huron County schools should support good nutri- tion. "Schools have an important role to play in the development of healthy eating habits of students through both education programs and the foods we make available," it was stated in the 18 -page report.

Poor showing at summer school by Grade 9 students Principal concerned incentive is gone for Grade 9's to upgrade marks since credit system revamped by province CLINTON - While the overall showing at summer school pro- grams in Huron County this year were positive, especially with adult eflucation, high school enrolment was down. "The regular day school program saw a rather drastic drop in en- rolment this year," said summer school principal Bruce Eccles. That was the bottom line of the report he gave to the Huron County Board of Education on Monday. "After four years of .steadily increasing numbers, the enrolment this year was off by 38 percent," he said. "The bulk of this decrease was at the Grade 9 level, but most grades were down slightly." Eccles also said there was a sizable drop in driver education. But his concern was for Grade 9 students who might be missing out on what could be some necessary upgrading now that their courses are not for credit. That change was made by the provincial government last year when the Transition Years program replaced the traditional credit per course which is still being used for grades 10, 11, 12 and OAC courses. "Wc need to do a better selling job as to the benefits of attending summer school," Eccles said. On the up side, he said continuing education has expanded quite a bit with 126 students enrolled in 59 different subjects. Plans underway for gathering education archives CLINTON - A project is being devised to bring together eQcation- al archives that may be circulating throughout the county. Trustees with the Huron County Board of Education were told on Monday that most historical materi- al related to education is held at the Huron County Museum, although some materials are found from time to time scattered throughout the county. With the help of volunteers from the Huron County Historical Socie- ty and the Superannuated Teachers of Ontario, any new found archives will be brought together for the Hu- ron County Museum collection.
