Our annual Peace Tree Week took place between April 7 and 10. Stu- dents worked on activities around equality and inclu- sion at school, at home and in the community. We also held an assembly where we watched a video about the Peace Tree and heard a story about how families from varying cul- tures came together to share in multicultural activities that led to meaningful friendships. On Wednesday, April 8, Brookside's students and staff recognized and cele- brated International Day of Pink. Most of our students and staff wore something pink and shared ideas on how to support bullying pre- vention. Though Pink Day is a one -day recognition of bul- lying prevention, Brookside's students recognize that this is an important topic each and every day. Students and staff discussed a variety of ways to support bullying prevention and how to help people that have been bul- lied. It is also important to mention that many ideas were shared around sup- porting people that bully others. Brookside's students and staff certainly have dem- onstrated that they are a supportive and positive group of caring individuals. Ryan Laird performed at Brookside on Wednesday, April 15.

The funding is being received as part of the 2014- 15 Grants for Student Needs (GSN) and follows the min- istry's recent announce- ment to provide $750 mil- lion over four years in support of the School Board Efficiencies and Moderniza- tion (SBEM) initiative, which encourages school boards to make more effi- cient use of their school space. The funding application was resubmitted in the fall of 2014 by Bluewater Dis- trict School Board under the School Consolidation Capital program. The orig- inal request was for approximately $28 million; however, Bluewater Dis- trict School Board was eli- gible to receive $19.5 mil- lion due to revised student enrolment data which predicts a decline in the number of students. Funding is based on enrolment benchmarks. Since the projected num- ber of students does not generate enough money to build a full service secondary school on an unserviced site, Blue - water is considering all options to best meet the needs of our students within the available funding.
