V.I.P.'s The V. I. P. program (Values, Influences and Peers) Is well-established in this area, join- ing Durham Regional Police and teachers in an attempt to teach elementary school aged children to understand responsibility for their own actions. It also helps kids develop pos- itive self-images and self-confidence; an understanding that people may be influenced by peer pressure; insights to assist them in making choices when confronted by negative peer pressure; and a respect for the rights of others. After nine weeks of instruction (once a week), the grade six students of Immaculate Conception Catholic School graduated from the program on June 5. Here's the V.I.P. graduating class of '89: (front from left) Jolene Chartrand, Dennis Tolpa, Amy White, Lisa Azzopardi, Katherine Ellis, Melissa Mennega, Heather Sandison, Natasha Skura, Dave Verschuuren, (middle) Elizabeth Scallon, Gabe Bruni, Matt Baker, Mike Balmforth, James Wells, Michael Gouldburn, Scott Chiusolo, Ken- ton LeFort, Jeff Postma, (top) Karina Grima, Stephanie Leveille, Jamie Campbell, Norman Haugen (Deputy Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus), P.C.
