gone! Visit the school website:
http://brodeur.csf.be.ca. The
contractor is recycling almost
everything. It’s a fascinating
process. The students will
study this project next year and
our school will be a certified
“Green School.” It’s so
exciting! The construction phase is on schedule and should begin in March.

In September 2004, the APE decided to review the school’s emergency
procedures, including items such as communications with parents, facilities,
drills, first aid, food, water, etc. We convened a sub-committee to study the
issue. The sub-committee’s findings were surprising, and rather disturbing.
Although the school has established procedures to safely evacuate the students
from the building, there is no procedure in place to provide for them following
a disaster. The conclusion: there’s a considerable amount of work to be done
to meet the standards of the BC Preparedness Emergency Program. For more
information on this topic, visit the following websites: www.pep.be.ca and

www.bced.gov.be.ca/capitalplanning/schoolearthquakesafetyguidebook.pdf .

We will conduct a fundraising campaign in February to collect money to
purchase basic equipment (water, food, tents, tools, etc.). It’s a big project,
but we will succeed. There are lots of other activities, but you’ll have to wait
for the next issue...
