School tour given
FRENCH immersion parent Bruce Martindale speaks with principal Maxine Champion yesterday during a tour of Mountainview Elementary on the bench.Terrace Standard - June 10, 2010
FRENCH immersion parents and students received a tour yesterday of their new home, Mountainview Elementary on the bench.
The program is moving from Kiti K'Shan to Mountainview this fall.
Built seven years ago for $3.2 million, Mountainview has never been opened, a circumstance driven by an economic decline and by demographics.
Instead, the building has been used for storage and lately, as the headquarters for the B.C. Winter Games.
Trustees decided to close Kiti K'Shan because it is an aging structure compared to Mountainview. Among other amenities, it has a full-size gym with rubber compound floor.
