CAA re. -- i¥9 =o 10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, June 17, 1960 0 Message From The President: This memorable occasion, the opening of our new school, gives me an opportunity to say a personal thank you to individuals and associations who donated to and worked for the completion of this project. Without the support of the citizens of Oshawa, our dreams/would still be dreams, our school @ number afore on an architect's drawing board. The school'is proof positive of our determ- ination to live up to our motto: "Don't let a re- tarded child become a discarded child". Retarded i sete Mrs. W. F. Wilson The Public of Oshawa Is Cordially Invited Visit the School DURING OFFICIAL OPENING OPEN House 31, 1356 SIMCOE STREET S. The Oshawa and District Association for Retarded Children is a non profit Charitable Association dedicated to the task of educating and training Retarded Children. member of the Ontario and Canadian Association for Retarded Children. The Oshawa TO Association was formed in October 29, 1953, by a group of interested citizens and parents with a class of 7 students in the basement of the Salvation Army. Shortly the school was moved to the Church Parlours of the Grace Lutheran Church on Albert St. As the school grew, quarters were obtained at Simcoe Hall Settlement House. In 1956 the property at 99 Mill St. was rented from the City and plans were laid for a cam- paign and construction of a school designed specifically for the education of the Re- tarded. The campaign was set for October, 1959, and the school completed March 1960. The school has a capacity of 40 students of which 33 at present are enrolled. Official Opening ~ Message From The Mayor: . There could not have been a more appropriate or ideal- time officially open this Glenholme School than in this beautiful th of June. This month also is the fore-runner of another blethday for our Canadian people. We can no longer, in the eyes world, regard ourselves as a young nation, but rather as one has rapidly moved into maturity. hen we grow up, either as an individual or as a country, responsibility towards. those less fortunaté than ourselves follows in due course. - As evidence of our acceptance of this sit is most gratifying to see schools such as this being erected oross this Dominion of ours, which will serve a special type of student. All children need security, not only that which is derived from affection within the home, but also that which comes from 'an established order in daily living. In this school, emphasis will be placed upon the care of these children by teachers who understand them and their needs. May each and every one of them be kept free from harm or accident end may each day spent within the walls of Glenholme School assist them 40 play a satisfying role as citizens of our com- munity.
