HARD WORKERS: Anthony Jewer, right, and Barry Lemoine haul mulch at Robert Little Public School for the new Woodland Trail the school is making as a part of their Celebrate You and Me community project. - Justina Pembleton photo POLICE BEAT In the early morning of October 30, a break-in oc- curred in a work trailer at Adams Rental on Perth Street. Unknown suspects entered the compound then broke into the trailer, which was padlocked. Re- moved from the trailer was a cement mixer, a Bosh jackhammer, a Honda gen- erator, diamond cutting blades, a rolling cart stand and Stihl tools. Estimated loss was $4500. Sometime between Octo- ber 21 and 28, a 25 Sideroad residence was broken into. Although there were no obvious signs of entry, a tidy search of the master bedroom by the unknown suspects had the thieves acquire several pieces of jewelry including diamond earrings, a diamond neck- lace, gold earrings and necklaces, 3 watches, silver bars and an Olympic coin. In the end, it is estimated that $5000 worth of jewelry was taken. Gold certified... Continuyed from Page 1 room constructed in honour of Mr. Heinz, the schools li- brarian. Mr. Heinz has been teaching at Robert Little for 25 years and has been pro- moting literacy throughout his teaching years. Heading up the Celebrate You and Me community project is coordinator Julie Vale and environmental teacher Ken Crozier. To- gether they have incorporated a student naturalization com- mittee, a staff committee and a parent committee. On Saturday, many stu- dents, teachers and parents were at the school, laying mulch, donated by the Town of Halton Hills, to define the trail, cutting back trees and digging holes for trees theyre going to plant today. Among those present were students Anthony Jewer, Barry Lemoine and Jacob Dolimont three of the proj- ects best workers, and Neil Raycraft, a parent volunteer. Last year, while in grade two, Jacob organized, with little supervision, the daily recycling of containers and composting at the school. As adults, we think we know whats best for the school. What we need to do is inform students and listen to them, said Ken Crozier. Part of the project is also to help students with the heat during the hot school months. Over half of childrens ex- posure to UV happens at school, where heat rises off the concrete at 90 degrees in the hot school months. Chil- dren cant function well in the classroom after encoun- tering those temperatures. By planting more trees and putting play areas in the shade, the school is provid- ing a better environment for the students, which is part of the Eco-Schools initiative. The Halton School Board is aiming to turn all schools in Halton into Eco-Schools by the year 2010. Ken Crozier has organized the student naturalization committee not only to help out with the outdoor proj- ects, but also to help inside the school with conserv- ing energy and minimizing waste. If one computer is left on throughout lunch hours and evenings, it will cost the school $85. Some teachers forget to turn off lights and computers when they have lunch duty and bus duty to cover. The student committee is there to help the staff by switching off a light, or computer monitor. The committee has gone around the school placing stickers to remind everyone to turn off energy consuming electronics. Mr. Bob Tadman, the schools principal, is very excited about the projects around the school. He is very proud that Robert Little Public School is the only school in the last two years to become certified as an Eco-School. I think its awesome. Im very proud to have inherited this aspect of the school. I love that the kids are taking more ownership. Thats great to see, said Tadman. LET US WELCOME YOU!
