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.
