“When Frank VYoogd
came to Terrace seven
years ago, Centennial Christian

School consisted of three: class-.
rooms, a portable, ‘and some very”.

thrifty office space. _

But times have changed since
the principal’s arrival, and so
have layout ‘plans. Four new
classrooms are being added to the
10 now in use. Expanded admin-
istration, staff, and workroom

areas are also planned, along with —

new washrooms and a storage fa-
cility.:

Floor space isn’t the only thing
that has increased at Centennial. .

Back in Voogd’s. first days as |
principal, about 90 students were |

enrolled at the school. Kindergar-
ten ~- grade 7 were the offered
grades.
