Not only are we changing our wardrobes with the weather, although it seems this year the warmer clothing articles are still in order, but the cycles in other areas of our life continue to flow. We notice the transition cycles in our own lives as new family members are born, move through the various stages of toddler, school age, young adult- hood and on to careers, relationships, retirement and finally passing away. Within these cycles we engage in our communi- ties in different ways as activities, sports and inter- ests change. Throughout, we gather the mementos that go with the corre- sponding age, make out our announcements, plan our celebrations, create or purchase gifts and tokens and sometimes even erect monuments. In doing so, we are marking the pas- sages of our lives. Recurring cycles happen in our communities. We see the annual spring pickup events, the yard sales to clear out the old to make room for the new, awards celebrations for sports and activities of one season end while the regis- trations and forming of new groups and teams begin. Of course, the 4-H clubs in the area cycle through the farming seasons. Cycles appear in the fun- draising and causes that are a part of our social fiber. Each month marks the Awareness campaign of particular groups and causes such as last month's Parkinson Awareness month and the upcoming Val's Views Valerie Gillies Walk for Dog Guides. Ongoing needs are addressed by the drives and donations happening all around us by service groups, volunteer fund- raisers, clubs and individuals. Within our lifetimes, we move through the various levels of engagement. At birth we are nurtured by immediate family and car- egivers. As independence and skills grow we move out into the immediate community, then the larger community. As interests and knowledge increase we begin to engage and challenge an ever-expanding personal world from neighbouring counties, to provincial issues, federal and global. It is said that it takes a vil- lage to raise a child. In this global society the bounda- ries of influence and care are boundless. No matter how far afield our hearts and minds may travel, there will always be that image in our minds of home, of our own begin- nings and history. And so, the cycle continues as we settle back from our adventures to embrace our unique originating or adopted communities as our own special place. To this end, let us cele- brate our homes, our fami- lies and our communities. Get involved. Be engaged. Embrace the journey. Be a partaker and a change maker on every level from personal to societal to glo- bal. After all, it's only natu- ral... well, actually, cyclical. www.lucknowsentinel.com Spring Arts Night at LCPS Valerie Gillies Editor The auditorium at Lucknow Cen- tral Public School was transformed into an art gallery. The entire school participated, with each class being given their showcase space to exhibit work they have created this year. Grade 7-8 teacher Lee Ann Maki explained that it was not just art as we think of it. There were exhibits from science, social studies and French as well as art and other subjects. It is an opportunity for parents and members of the community to come and see what happens in the school. Maki believes "The children have done fab- ulous work. It is amazing for their ages:' Grade 2 teacher Mrs. Nelson has a great class of very enthusiastic learn- ers that are very hands-on. One of her students, Mikaela Hanna, declared "and we have a lovely, nice teacher" What more need be said...
