Students win for design A student's school notebook is not usually considered an exciting piece of his school equipment - however in Northumberland and Durham Counties something special has been added. Rather than having notebooks with the usual dull cover, students will soon receive notebooks with a colourful art design on them. These designs were selected from a number submitted by students in the schools and the winning designer's name appears on the cover. The winners were, Donna Lovett, C.R. Gummow School, Cobourg; Frazer Lorimer, Vincent Massey School in Bowmanville; and David Quackenbush of Hillcrest School in Campbellford. In addition to having their names appear on each cover, the students received the original prints used by the printing company. Students are responding enthusiastically to this involvement in their educational system.
