Scott Fraser, an official town crier and a three time world champion, will be walking along streets near the new school on Brentcliffe Drive 1n northwest Waterloo next Tuesday calling the students to school starting at 8 am. "Hell be walking along the front of the school, mainly on BrentcliCe lhive and maybe on a few of the adjacent side streets here, summoning the students in," said launlwood school principal, Terry Jutai, in an interview last Thursday. Not only will Fraser be calling children lo the new school next Tuesday but also bagpiper Keith Davidson will be piping the students into the school after some brief opening ceremonies outside the building at 8:30 am. The opening ceremonies will include a ribbon culling. Approximately 425 kindergarten to Grade 7 students will be calling the new 47,400eRuare- foot school their new home away from home this year. The new school cost the Waterloo Region district school board approximately $4.6 million to build and should largely be completed this week, Construction started last November, "Let's say Sept. 1," Jutzi said, when asked when construction would be finished, "But we're going In be working alongside various trades in here for a few weeks, I'm afraid, But they shouldnt get too much m the way, we're hoping " Several students who used to attend Brighton public school, Elizabeth Ziegler public school and MaryJohnston public school will be attend- mg Laurelwood this year, The new school's catchment area for kinder- ganen up to Grade 6 students will take In the area north of Columbia Street West and west of Fischer-Hallman Road North, as well as the luurelwooll school celebrates oneninu Belly-Gall Loren” Bob Mathis John Malian Cindy Me0oul Mike Melloul Mike Moher Walter Mueller Tim Gardner Chronicle Stef .

"Another mason was to relieve the overcrowd- ing at Centennial public school," Jutzi said. "Centennial is a Grade 7-8 school, a senior puts lic school, And it had far too many students there. So this school was built with a Grade 7-8 component, realizing that that school needed lo get some relief." entire west side of Erbswlle Road For Grade 7 students and eventually for Grade 8 students next year, the catchment area for the new school will be west of Fischer-Hallman Road North, north of Erb Street West and both sides oi Erbsville Road. _ Finally the school's music room will be dioded from the school's library by a movable wall, That wall Will eventually be able to be opened to create one larger room for vanous school productions for between 100-150 slu- dents, JUIZI said. When Grade 8 students start attending the school next year, that will likely push the msu- tulion's population up to 525, Jutzi said. And with continued strong population growth in the area, Juui said he expected the school would reach its capacity of 600 students during Its sec- ond year. . Although strong population growth in north- west Waterloo was one of the main reasons Lau- relwood needed to be constructed, Jutzi said there was one other important reason too. The new school will not have a lot of features that other public schools in Waterloo Region don't have already,Jutzi said. " will have "clumps" of computers located throughout the building and all of the clumps will have Intemet access. The gymnasium will be open to other com- munity groups after school hours. and ..
