Superboy ... and others The Grade One students at Holy Angels School in Schreiber presented a wide variety of fictional and historical characters during Dress-As-Day at the school. The event was held as part of Education Week, held April 24 to 30. Here we see Superboy, as well as a sheriff, a clown, a cowboy, a mouse, and others. Reeve and Councillor Terrace Bay Reeve Ollie Chapman and Councillor Jim Ziegler were just two of 897 town participants in the May 26 North Shore Fun Run. Although the turnout in Terrace Bay increased by 12 per cent, that wasn't quite enough to win one of the two banners which are available to be won during the annual event. Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 11, 1986, page 7 Dress-Up-Day held at school Many fun-filled, inter- esting and educational events took place at Holy Angels in Schreiber during Education Week, April 24 to 30. Students dressed in their finery and displayed good manners on Dress-up-day, 'As part of Dress-as-day, the students dressed as car- toon, fictional or historical characters. Mr. Mikal- auskas, Grade 8 teacher, was resplendent as General Wolfe, as were his students in their varied and colour- ful costumes. Other teach- ers who took part were Mr. H. Shack (Paul Bunyan), Miss M. Dunn (Cat-In- The-Hat), and Mrs. M. McDougall (Oswald the Rabbit). All grades got in- to the spirit as well. Each class competed in a Trivia Play-Off with many students making trips to the library to search for the answers. Miss J. Pineau's Grade 1 class was the winner. A school-wide Scavenger Hunt brought in many unusual items for viewing in the library: a 1935 text and 1950 report card, to mention but.two items. Students from different grade levels paired off to complete an activity on Ac- tivity Day. The result were illustrated, creative stories on a particular theme. Students met again, in teams, to produce skits and perform them in front of the entire school. Hospital funding up The $850 million to On- tario hospitals, announced by Treasurer Robert Nix- on in his May 13 budget, will finance an expansion of approximately 4,400 beds over the next few years, Health Minister Murray Elston told the On- tario Hospital Association on May 14 in Toronto. The capital allocation, the largest in the history of Ontario, is the first phase of a multi-year capital plan for the hospital system, Elston said in a Ministry news release. : On top of this commit- ment, Elston said, a second phase of the plan will pro- vide for extensive renova- tions to hospitals to bring them up to current stan- dards and to enable them to meet future needs such as more out-patient services. '*We are taking this ac- tion in order to bring On- tario's hospital system in- to line with the needs of our population up to the late 1990's," the minister explained. Elston said that the bed expansion in the first phase of the capital plan will pro- vide approximately 1,400 new acute care beds and more than 3,000 new chronic care beds. The ex- anct locations of these beds within each region will take into account recommenda- tions from district health councils. The expansion repres- ents an eight per-cent in- crease in the number of beds in the province. When it is completed, Ontario will have more than 55,000 hospital beds, up from the current 50,979. The addition of the new hospital beds, the minister said, will be accompanied by the expansion of out- patient programs and new community-bases services which will be designed to help more people live in- dependently in their co- mmunities. Northern Ontario will receive 176 more chronic care beds and 36 acute care continued on page 12 The Book Fair in the library provided an oppor- tunity for parents and children to purchase books. The parents also had an op- portunity to visit class- rooms during this Open House Day and then to en- joy refreshments at the Education Week Tea which was hosted by the grade eight students. Everyone listened intent- ly as two winners from each grade 4 to 8 spoke on the topic, "What my Catholic School means to me." The judges, Jack Stokes, Colleen Smilsky, and Roseann Pellegrino chose two winners: Jason Shack and Cindy Alfarano. These two students were part of a group of system- wide winners who present- ed their winning speeches at the System PD Day in Terrace Bay on May 2. Schreiber Reeve Mike Cosgrove, Mr. J. St. Am- and, and the grade 4/5 class combined Local Govern- ment Week with Education Week and presented a mock council meeting to the junior intermediate grades. A school mass was cele- brated on April 27, with parents and friends att- ending.
