Pow Wow committee seeks stories, pictures
There is excitement in the air at
the East Wawanosh 150th

it seems a long way off right now,
two of the committees are already
looking for submissions.
The history book committee is
giving you a chance to share a
snippet of your history in East
Wawanosh. The committee plans to
create a colourful book of pictures
and stories of life in East Wawanosh.
Join in by submitting a favourite
picture of the past or present, a
comical story, a serious story, a
historical event or a memorable
family event, a picture of your farm
or animals, a picture and story of
your business, a beautiful nature
scene, planting or harvest time or
something unusual just to give you a
few ideas. The history book will be
called A Snippet in Time.
If you have a story to share but
don't know how to write it, we can
help by listening to your story and
writing it for you. We want you to
start thinking about it now as the
deadline for submissions for the
book will be Sept. 1, 2016. We can
receive your submissions at our
monthly planning meetings. The
next meeting will be on March 9 at 7
p.m. at the Belgrave Community

your submissions or have you bring
it to their homes. For help in writing
a story or to pick up pictures or any
questions please call Melanie Pletch

The right building materials
When rainy, or wet snow, keeps students at Maitland River Elementary School indoors for
recess, there is still lots to keep them busy. Some students draw, others play educational
games on the computer while others still utilize the smartboards as interactive drawing
canvases. Some exercise their burgeoning architectural spirit by playing with LEGO. Shown
above, playing with the creative toy, are, from left: Zayd Fish, Sierra Elford, Logan Lowry and
