Not only are they paying increased tax dollar's to support the public school system, but they are also faced with the possibility of paying higher tuition to send their children to the private Christian School in Clinton. That was the essence of a preliminary report to the.School Society at their semi-annual meeting last week (March 5) in Blyth, when treasurer Eve%'t Ridder presented a first draft of the budget for the coming fiscal year of 1979 - 1980. It estimated total costs to run the school may hit $194,500, up $8,000 from last year. Some suggestions for ways and means to lower the budget were made and will be examined by the board before the next meeting. For the 84 families from Clinton, Goderich, Blyth, Seaforth and Exeter' who support the school and its 207 pupils, running their own school is doubly expensive, as they must pay tuition for their children, as well as pay school tax," but receive no assistance from the provincial government in the form of grants, as the public and separate school systems do. Principal Ralph Schuurman gave a report on school activities, saying that Friday morning skating at the Clinton arena is over for another year and the ice time was much, ap- preciated by the students. The hot lunches served after the skating were also,enjoyed. Mr. Schuurman said the .lat;est. extra- curricular activity un- dertaken is the formation of a school choir under the capable direction of Mrs. Mary Hearn. The 45 member choir sang at the Christmas program and on February 27 gave a concert at Huronview, and are now busily preparing for a spring concert. One of the school's professional development days was spent looking for suitable songs and the possibility of compiling a song book for the school is being considered. Also a first this year, was participation by four students in the Legion public speaking contest. Ingrid Schuurman, Ruth Ann Dykstra, Kathy de Boer and Allan Rooseboom competed, and although they didn't place in their categories, valuable experience was gained, said Mr. Schuurman. Dorothy Prinzen, the Grade 1 teacher, gave a short talk on the special children in schools; those with learning disabilities. Much has been learned about effective ways to teach these children and now that they are diagnosed at an earlier age and usually kept in the classroom where the stigma of retardation is not attached to them. A report was also given by John Benjamins on the work of the education committee, who, along with the teaching staff, are busy making a school handbook that will hopefully be ready sometime in the near future. The book, which will be available to all members and supo>Fters, will have guidelines andIn- formation on many aspects of the school. Members of the education committee have also visited all classrooms during school hours and reported their /findings and suggestions to the board. Rev. W. Ludwig, pastor Of the newly fornied Goderich . Chtistian Reformed Church, closed the meeting with prayer. Prices effective through Saturday, March 24th, 1979 OPEN 9:00 A.M. - 9:30 P.M. MON. - SAT.
