bune i believe the people should be more informed about what is happening in our schools and where their money is being spent however the percentage of taxpayers who contact me is very small but those who do always obtain the information theyre looking for with regard to the column published in the tribune issue of oct 29 it infers that all the fundraising referred to occurred in whitchurchstouffville i beg to disagree lynda williams is a resident of durham region and her children attend durham region schools her information poss ibly comes from that area i wish to inform your readers of the fundraising policies of our local schools stouffville dist secondary school the major fundraising is a walkathon runathon spon sored by the students council proceeds go to the students
