Children who are from families of low income may receive <br /> adjusted school lunch price of 15c per meal, or for families <br /> f who may be temporarily unemployed, or have had some mis- <br /> fortune that would make the full payment a hardship. <br /> 4. All families are entitled to application forms which are <br /> screened by the principal and the welfare agent for eligi- <br /> bility. <br /> G 5. The Federal Government makes the following reimburse- <br /> ment to each school: <br /> 1. 42c a plate for "free lunches." <br /> rice aid for adjusted lunches. Twen- <br /> ty seven cents a plate in our case. <br /> 3. 12c per plate for each lunch served at the regular <br /> ` lunch rate. <br /> This was our first year to have the opportunity to em- <br /> ploy two teacher aids. Many of the time consuming tasks <br /> that teachers have to perform, such as taking attendance, <br /> counting the lunch money, picture money, correcting papers, <br /> gathering materials together before and after lessons in sci- <br /> ence or art, and supervision of play at recesses, can efficiently <br /> be done by persons trained to do these chores thus releasing a <br /> teacher to give more of her time to teach. <br /> Mrs. Alan Thorpe, Mrs. Jane Murray have done well in <br /> the short time they have been with us. They love children <br /> and the children adore them, this is reflected in their work. <br /> Federally Funded Program <br /> The Eastern Indian Federation sponsors of a Title III <br /> project entitled "Mainstream", sent to us Mrs. Aneba Costa, <br /> to be trained as a Teacher Aide, and Mrs. Warren Hicks to be <br /> trained in our cafeteria as a cafeteria worker. The object of <br /> the project is to properly train people of low incomes for a <br /> period of several months with the ultimate goal the trainee <br /> will be qualified to seek permanent employment elsewhere. <br /> Each trainee is paid by the government a hourly wage <br /> ranging from $1.80 to $2.00 per hour. Records are kept of <br /> progress, appearance, personality and aptitude. We were <br /> fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with them. <br /> Highlights of 1970 <br /> I Many enjoyable and educational assemblies were held in <br /> our multi-purpose room.
