Garibaldi in Today's Vancouver Courier

Naoibh O'Conner, staff writer, for the Vancouver Courier has an article in the Courier about our fight to keep the school open. The article is also on the Courier's website: http://www.canada.com/vancouvercourier/news/story.html?id=3deb7366-b65b-4e8b-ac0d-69191e657d53
The article mentions Crystal Hollywood's petition and this blog. The print edition also has a photograph of Crystal and her son, Cristopher, in front of the school (Cristopher does not look happy that his school is threatened with closure!). The article mentions that the Vancouver Elementary School Teachers Association (VESTA) has arranged for a bus to drive anyone interested in attending the VSB committee meeting on December 12. The bus leaves at 6:15 PM from in front of the school at 1025 Slocan Street. At the meeting the committee will be hearing arguments from the public on why the school should remain open. If you'd like to speak, please call Lois Schack of the VSB at 604-713-5019 to register.
So far registered to speak are:

• Shane Simpson, MLA Vancouver-Hastings
• Diane Wilmann, Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House
• Scott Morgan, Parent
  

The committee will give a presentation, to be followed by presentations by registered speakers. Each speaker will have five minutes, followed by up to five minutes of questions.
