Shen read on about Kitimat's
Alexander Elementary School.”
I firat visited Alexander -

School during their open house
m Oct: 10th. I walked up to the
ool and my first thought was

t daesn’t look like a school.”
Meeand indeed it didn’t. It wasn't

etared like the conventional |
School and It didn't have rows of
mwindows like the elementary

meveryone went to, Opening the
Adoor of Alexander: convirices:
@ you that this is really a different
mschool, It' doesn't even have
ae Classrooms like the traditional
men schools. It has four ‘pods’ each
eeof which house teams of
g students. In the middie of these
fpods is an administration and
= library area.
All areas are covered with

fen carpeting not dull old green or
am grey carpet but bright, crange,
F yeliow, red, gold sunset carpet
F that is soft to walk on and warm
f to the feet of the children.
= The lighting here is so good
‘one light-expert once told the
m principal Mr. Mike Todd ‘that
= they had too much light. It
= makes it so that even without a.
Jot of windows you can feel-you
} are out in a sunny field and not
: coped up ina classroom. The old
m grey-blue-green and yellow
™.walis of our school days have

vanished to be be replaced by . .

bright white-that doesn’t look
like a sterile hospital white.

' Doors are contrasting deep
pruple and turquolse.

* The white walls are picked up
me by the colours in all the displays
m that‘cover them. One display
showed what children can make
with scraps - collages on what’
children see life as. Others
displayed poems written by
students. Here is one I
particularily liked:: |
