(Vicky Bremner photo) Brussels PS works on curb appeal By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editoi. Improving the curb appeal of Brussels Public School was a priority seen by the parent council group. Secretary Diana Dolmage said that at the first meeting of this new school year, it was agreed that the front exterior of the school needs. work. Parent Melinda TenPas volunteered to head up the project. "The whole front of the building has been taken over by this one weed. I had it in my garden and I know the only way to get rid of it is to dig it out and get all new soil," said TenPas. The project, she estimates, could take probably $300-$400 worth of soil alone, thus donations are being sought. "We will need to purchase shrubs, plants, topsoil and mulch, so I'm hoping this week to begin canvassing throughout the community." TenPas notes that while spring would he the nicest time to begin the task, the time to purchase these materials is now, as nurseries have their sales on this time of year. "So I'm hoping for a good response. The better the response the more we can do. There's just no money in the board to make a school pretty." TenPas is planning maintenance free beds with shrubbery and some perennials as filler. Anyone interested in the project or in making a donation towards it can call TenPas at 887-9830. • A • FROM CRANBROOK Cranbrook hosts euchre party Helen Dobson assisted Edna McLellan and Neil Hatt with the Cranbrook card party on Friday night.
