Development). The total
cost of this project is $49,500
for both school grounds,
Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez advised the
school trustees that Part 1 of
the project has been com-
pleted. He advised that the
fences at both schools be
restored and that temporary
vegetation be planted. He
said permanent vegetation
will not be planted until next
spring and some kind of
vegetation is needed to
prevent erosion at the Roque
Guerra school.
The fence is needed to
keep people from driving
into the area, Gonzalez said.
Part I of the project, the
irrigation system, has
already Ix'cn started at the
North Grammer School,
Gonzalez informed the
trustees, at no cost to the
school district.
In addition, the school
district will be given about
8.000 feet of six inch
galvanized pipe to use in
both schools for irrigating
the lawns.
Jesus Solis, board of
trustees president and Dr.
A.E. Garcia, superintendent
of schools, expressed ap-
preciation to the Soil Con-
servation Service for their
work.
The beautification project
of the school grounds is one
of several projects that have
been undertaken under the
Hio Bravo Resource Con-
servation and Development
Project (R.C.&D. , which
was approved for operation
in December 23, 1974, ac-
cording to Gonzalez.
To date, a number of
community projects have
been carried out to com-
pletion through R.C.&D. and
w ith the assistance of United
States Department of

Parents and teachers, get to know each other-
for children's sakes. Work together as a team and
share ideas about the child's interests and needs,
in order to make learning more meaningful. A
child's interests in specific areas can make
learning more meaningful, both at school and at
>iome. When parents and teachers inform each
other of these interests, then both can make those
interests work for the child's benefit. Also,
knowing what the child encounters in each place
and how he or she rtacts can help both parents and
teachers better understand and help the child. Eor
example, when parents learn of a school incident
or activity that especially interested their child,
they can plan other activities, such as trips or
talks, to extend the interest. That, in turn, will
extend learning into the child's home life. These
tips come from Patricia Eamson of the Extension
Service.
