WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1980, PAGE 7 Br&1 in Bylines ,PM ST. LEO'S - KINDERGARTEN? There has been some response to starting a kindergarten class at St. Leo's School and certain questions have arisen. Q. Will kindergarten be combined with the Grade 1 and 2 class. A. No. If the class is formed it will consist of kindergarten only. If it becomes a mixed junior and senior kindergarten there will be variations in subject content as is the case in other mixed grades. To accommodate the increase there is a possibility of a portable being brought in (probably for the higher grades). Q. How do I become a Separate School Supporter? A. If you are not presently taxed as a Separate School Suppor- ter and either husband or wife (or both) is Catholic, you may obtain a form to change support on your taxes. (I will have some forms available or you may contact the Separate School Board Office at 576-6150.) If, however, neither spouse is Catholic you must remain public school supporters. You may contact the Separate School Board if you would like infor- mation about enrolling a child in the Separate School system. Q. Is St. Leo's School closing? A. There is always that possibility. However, I feel, that once we enrol our children in St. Leo's frôm kindergarten, we'll see the numbers rising in the upper grades in the future. Q. How old does my child have to be to enrol in this class? A. A child entering senior kindergarten must be 5 years old Whitby Jaycettes will hold baby photo contest The Whitby Jaycettes are sponsoring a Spring Baby Photo Contest, as a ways project for their organization.
