New Georgetown school poses dilemma for board LISA TALLYN Staff Writer The future location of a new Georgetown South elementary school and proposed renovations to Georgetown District High School (GDHS) were the hot topics at a meeting hosted by Halton District School Board Thursday night. Approximately 40 area residents attended the meeting at GDHS on the second version of the board's draft capital plan, which is tentatively scheduled to be adopted by the board by June. At the meeting, Gerry Cullen, the board's superintendent of facilities services, told the residents that the board is faced with a dilemma over a new school location in Georgetown South. The board currently has two sites in that community, one on the east side of Mountainview Rd. and the other on the west. The board's preference is to have a new school on the east side of Mountainview Rd. behind Maple Creek Park but there is no servicing available at the school site yet, and See RESIDENTS, pg. 13 Now, about those grades! Grade 8 Ecole Sacre-Coeur teacher Maryse MalletSinnis decided to do her part for cancer research by challenging students and staff to raise $1,500 recently and in turn she would have her head shaved in a show of support for a friend stricken with the disease. Grade 8 student Benjamin Seguin was more than pleased to volunteer his services with a clipper. The money was passed on to a couple of Georgetown women who are raising funds for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer in September, a 60-km walk to support Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. Local residents Kim Auty (left) and Esther Kramer must raise $2,000 each in order to participate in the walk, which generated $14 million last year. Mallet-Sinnis said she was inspired to have her head shaved because her friend, Natalie Buttle, is battling cancer and has lost her hair due to chemotherapy treatments.
