GRADE TWELVE CLASS ASSURED FOR |
NEXT YEAR

Parents and students of next years
Grade 11 and 12 classes at Cassiar
Elementary-Secondary, were asl:ed re-
cently ro reach a decision about
whether they would attend school in
Cassiar - As-a result, 13. students
will attend Grade twelve and 18 stu-

dents will enrol in the Grade Eleven

' program. District Superintendent of

Schools, Dave Lynn, has indicated
that this is a healthy enrolment for
the senior secondary program and that
it shows a trend towards a gradual in-
crease_in enrolment in future vears.

The well attended meeting voiced
concern that the program would he
phased out. Parents strongly support-—
ed the continuation of the proeram
and called for a commitment to this
effect, for. future vears. Thev felt
that parents of vounper students would
want the same assurance.

Members of the Parent Advisory
Council who organized the meeting
asked Principal Jack Grant to reauest
of the Superintendent a meeting at the
earliest possible time to discuss the
issue further. A request that parents
of Grades 8 and 9 students be invited
was also made. Details of that meet-
ing will be announced.
