CAMERON STREET PUBLIC SCHOOL

29. Clean up day -
� Patricia suggested that the Adopt a School Yard program be
rolled out to the school. Cindy Lewis came up with this idea at the
end of the last school season but it was never introduced.
Families volunteer for to keep the school yard clean for two weeks
or monthly intervals. School Council would provide garbage bags
and gloves. Information on this will be sent out in the next
newsletter and a request for a volunteer to coordinate.
� Would like to have the school yard cleaned up for the Trunk Sale.
30. National Golf in Schools Program -
� Kristin Ellis presented information on golf equipment that can be
used for the physical education program from grades one to six.
The cost is $450.00. Teachers will need to complete and submit
the application for the equipment. Mr. Giffen indicated a few
teachers are interested and he’ll appoint one of them to take the
lead so it can be started next year.
31. Principal’s Report -
