Mary Street H&S Assn. Is Proud Of Friendly Relations With Staff From its inception in 1920 through the years to the present time, Mary Street Home and School Association has been a vital hard-working. Association endeavoring to live up to the Home and School Creed. It is proud of the excellent co-opera tion that has always existed with the members of the teach- ing staff -- this co-operation has been instrumental in the'success of many of its ventures. Get Acquainted Night with the teachcrs in charge offers an ex- cellent opportunity for all par- ents to meet with the teacher in the "home" room and have an outline of the year's course of study presented. Many par- ents find themselves wedged in at school desks confronted pos- sibly with a typical problem in arithmetic. This meeting heralds the sea- son's meetings with the Pro- gram Chairman and her com- mittees arranging eight other meetings of interest to all seg- ments of the membership. Panel discussions, buzz sessions, speakers of*note, are all incor- porated into these meetings and the Christmas Carol service pre- sented by Grade 6 students is looked forward to each year. The Family Donation Plan has been found to offer the best method of raising the major por- tion of the Association's budget. Rummage sales and a Bake Sale| help to augment the budget so} that the necessary expenses can} be met and a special yearly | project completed. School maga- | zines: Winter Skating Carnival; | Grade 6 Graduation and a Safe-| ty Patrol Party, monthly room | prizes are a few of the annual | expenses. In addition last year| embossed jerseys were pur-} chased to be worn on Field Day} and a record player purchased | for use in the classrooms. The | Association, of course, partici: pates in the Council Bursary Fund.
