Village
preschool
holds

open house

WITH MUCH hard work and
fund raising, The Village
Preschool was able to purchase a
portable classroom after being
forced to vacate their space at

‘Highlands Community School.

Now they are looking forward to
showing off their new premises at
a Dec. 10 open house.

The preschool’s portable is
located on the grounds at
Highlands School at 3150 Col-
wood. After 11 years in the school
building, the preschool was asked
to move out due to increased
enrolment at Highlands.

Preschool president Wendy
Evans says the organization
received a $15,000 grant from the
Vancouver Foundation, $5,000
from the Ministry of Social Ser-
vices and Housing, $250 from the
Bentall Foundation and $500 from
Chevron Canada. The rest of the
funds needed for the portable, ap-
proximately $12,000, was raised by
the 32 families in the preschool.

Evans also cites the support of
the District of North Vancouver
for refunding their $2,400 water
and sewer hook-up fee, and of the
North Vancouver School Board
for allowing the preschool to put
their portable on the grounds of
Highlands school.

The Village Preschool, which
holds classes for three and four
year olds three days per week, is
one of 11 North Shore branches of
the Parent Participation
Preschools of B.C.

The Dec. 10 open house will
take place at the portable between
1 and 3 p.m. Parents, friends and
neighbors are all welcome.
