"Christian Education
Week.' was held at the Clinton
and District Christian School
last Wednesday. February 18.
An open house was held to
.-emember the Christian
School Educational Foun-
dation and especially its
newly formed Canadian
counterpart, the "Canada
Christian Foundation."
Approximately 860 has
been collected so far to be
sent to the latter organization
sn that they can research and
produce distinctly Canadian
and distinctly Christian
textbooks on all areas of the
curriculum.
The Foundation has in the
past supported work done by
the National Union of
Christian Schools with the
result that they already have
a number of literature, texts
for the junior high and high
school levels. These are the
"Pilot Series" and the
"Touchstone Series" .
The NUCS has also
produced texts and reference
materials in the area of Bible
study. history. church,
history. geography and
music.
Parents had a chance to
watch all of those areas being
taught as they came in large
numbers to visit the school
between 9:00 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Refreshments were available
during the recess and noon
.breaks and the school
generally displayed an aura
of excitement that only the
presence of so many visitors
could produce.
By all reports, the day was
thoroughly enjoyed by all who
came. The school officials
were happy to see that the
parents of the children in this
school not only faithfully
support it but in the true
tradition upon which this
parental school is based. the
parents also continue to make
themselves aware of what
and how their children are
being taught. They can only
encourage all parents in this
tradition.
Children are a parental
responsibility. Be aware of
your school. Don't close your
eyes to what is happening.
Don't give your responsibility
away... said a teacher.
