lias renovation!” That is the
reason why Capilano school
needs a renovation.

Our principal, = Mrs.
Cehak, estimated that there
would be more than 450 stu-
dents. She also thought that
two more teachers would be
needed.

Right now the principal
and the contractors are still
talking about the design of
the floor plan. For the paint-
ing of the outside and inside,
they ‘have decided to keep
the same colours we have
now: red, white, and blue

The total for all of this is
approximately $2 million.
Districe 44 has given
Capilano school most of the
money. Our school has raised

‘the rest of the money with

bake sales ete.

Once the renovations are
completely done, we feel that
everyone at Capilano school

will benefit by this major

change. There will be more

space and more new oppor-
tunities for ‘the present and
future students. ~
