At the first PAC meeting of the school year in September, new principal Jann Kwasnicki mentioned that they were ready to begin work on the mural and were looking for an artist. “I was overjoyed the next day when Bernice Brookes, a parent of a Neilson Grove kindergarten student emailed me to say her husband is an artist and could probably design and paint the mural,” said Kwasnicki.

Neilson Grove’s mascot has always been a griffin, a symbol of courage, leadership, and strength Garry’s design features a majestic looking griffin that students see as soon as they enter the main entrance doors to the school.

“My daughter is in kindergarten and so Neilson Grove will be her school for many years, ” he said. “I wanted to contribute something to the school community that was meaningful and would bring pride.”

Kwasnicki said she can’t imagine how many hours Garry put into creating this original design.

“During Spring Break, Garry spent several long days completing the mural so that students came back to this amazing surprise,” she said

“We are so thankful to Garry – not only has he gifted us with an incredible piece of art, the griffin brings huge pride to our school, connects us all and will encourage school spirit at Neilson Grove for years to come ”

Discussing death in an open forum

It is an awkward subject, death, and by not discussing it, one can tamper down its’ associated feelings of anxiety, fear and sadness.

We can almost believe death is not going to happen, but what if you wish to acknowledge the inevitable and be more aware of what will happen?

Register for Death Café at the Ladner Pioneer Library on Tuesday, May 23, from 6 to 7:30 p m where people –often strangers, gather to eat sweets, drink tea and discuss death

The objective is to increase awareness of death, to help people make the most of their (finite) lives - to live life to the fullest It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session Obtaining a comfort level with the topic means we can support friends, family and ourselves when death touches our lives

The Ladner Pioneer Library is pleased to partner with the Heron Hospice Society of Delta in this groupdirected discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes

Death Cafe meets again on Tuesday, June 20, 6 from 6 to 7:30 p m at the Ladner Pioneer Library. To register, visit the Events Page at www.fvrl.ca.
