Kindergarten census to be conducted The administration at the Syracuse Elementary School is conducting a census to determine the names of students who will be attending kindergarten at the Syracuse Elementary School next year. Children are eligible for admission to the kindergarten program if they are five years old on or before Sept. 1,1964 and they reside in Turkey Creek Township. The administration requests community cooperation to make the kindergarten survey accurate. Since there are families who will not receive a survey letter through the mail because they have no children currently in school, it is asked that those receiving letters share copies with friends and neighbors who have children ready to start kindergarten during the 1984-1985 school year. Residents with children eligible for kindergarten are asked to complete the bottom portion of the letter and return it to the school office. Extra forms may be obtained through the school office, located at 201 E. Brooklyn St., Syracuse. PICKWICK 45741 N THEATRE Syracuse I All SEATS $2.00 Fri. * Sat. 7 6 9.
