B rookvi*lle students get education award e from BREATHING on page 3 "It's a very different type of project in that previous winners have donc videos or paintings," said Ms Goeig. *'So oftcn this type of thing is simply lost or thrown away." The Historical Society gave honourable mentions to, Marion Detlor for her paint- ings and Donna Coulter for her collection of photos of community events. Brookville Public School's grade six stu- dents took a famnily tree project beyond the usual scope in winning the education award. "Children found out interesting bits of family history, including information about a local pioncer farm and war sto- ries," said Ms Goeig. Teacher Sue Dunsmore had students trace their families back to their great- grandparents. Information was displaycd as family tree posters, augmcntcd in some cases with videotaped interviews. The society also recognized the St. Peters School grade eight class for their project on heritage sites in Milton and Holy Rosary's grade cights for one about countries of origin.
