Douglas Park Elementary School principal Esther Schmit (left to right) and teachers Lorraine Goulet and Stefano Marazzi were finishing the layout of their classrooms on Friday in preparation for students returning to school yesterday. This year the school is raising money through www.myclassneeds.ca to purchase digital cameras. The students will use the cameras outdoors in a “reconnecting to nature” project. The school is also looking for volunteers for their breakfast and woodworking programs. For more, call 604-533-4491.
