Kindergarten Plans for Richwood
The committee working on the
plans for the kindergarten for
Redwood are announcing that a
house-to-houSe canvass will be
held next week to raise funds for
the new department.
In order to have the class open
next fall it is necessary that the
committee raise $500 for the
salary of the teacher and for the
necessary equipment. This ex-
pense will be taken care of by the
state after the first year. The al
lotment given is based on the
enrolment of the previous year
and since this is completely new
department the local citizens will
bear the expense the first year.
The Progressive School club is the
sponsoring agent.
Since only part-time teacher
will be hired, it will be necessary
for the parents to furnish tran
sportation for the children the
first year. After that they pro-
badly can ride on the regular
school buSSeS.
The school year will run for
36 weeks, corresponding to the
rest of the school program in that
respect. Enrollments will be in
charge of Miss Ann Jones and
the date for enrolment will be
announced soon. Any child that
is five years old during 1948 is
eligible to enroll.
