Through a great deal of hard work we have now raised a total of $6,800. - As well as the lack of a general purpose room, other facilities in our school are appalling i.e. music and library in the front foyer and remedial reading and French being taught in the staff kitchen. - As well as the lack of a general purpose room, other facilities in our school -As far as other shools are concerned they seem to have many luxuries our school doesn't have. - We understand that the education taxes paid to the Simcoe County Board of Education are to be distributed throughout the County to profice equal education opportunities for all children. We feel the Board is ignoring their responsiblities to our children. - For further information please contact Bonnie King, Chairman of the gym committee, Medonte East Central School Association.
