They dig some dirt, they move some dirt, they dig some more, truck some dirt and dig some more. It really doesn’t look like things change much from day to day, but the dirt gets moved around a lot. One of these days it will be done. The Cranbrook darts had more players attending the evening of fun. One of the new darters was very lucky and captured the high score of the evening. The lucky Rita Bowers hit 109 and Nathan Klingenberg also hit 109. Congratulations to the Lee family and Tite Racing for receiving not one, but three awards in the Motorcycle Awards of Excellence.

Don’t forget when you are cleaning your laneways to do around the boxes. The mail person doesn’t want to get stuck and if they can’t get to the box, they don’t want to not deliver the mail. Things go much smoother when everyone does there part. Flu, flu and more flu. It seems that almost everyone you talk to, has had the flu or someone in their home has had the flu. The Huron County Health Unit reports that you can still get your flu shot if you didn’t get it earlier. The McDonald family celebrated Kelly’s birthday at home on Sunday. Rick and Jo-Ann were joined by Adam, Kelly and Connor Jarosz, LeeAnn Konarski, Scott, Alicia and Brea McDonald and by Grama Clarke from Mitchell. Having new babies makes the gatherings extra special.

I talked with Darcie and Marley, they, too wanted more time with family. They enjoyed the break and their holiday. Now on to Grade 3C. Andrew said the break was way too short but he liked it. In Grade 4/5 class, William liked coming back to school. On the holidays he went snowmobiling when the snow was deeper. Have a good time everyone and I will be back next week. By Colton Rodger This week at Hullett Central Public School, the students are back and keen to share what they did over the Christmas holidays. In the Grade 5/6 class, Ben Kolkman went sledding and played with his cousin. He loved the holidays but couldn’t wait to get back to school. In the Grade 7 class, Quinn Driscoll went skiing with his family at White Face Mountain. He said that it was a blast and they had lots of snow. In the Grade 7/8 class, Samantha Kerr had a very exciting holiday. She got her grandma a puppy, it is a Shorkie Poo. She thinks it is the cutest thing in the world. She also got a new karaoke machine and she plays and sings on it every day. She even sang Gangnam style with her sister. All the kids were excited when all the snow came down and there is a hill outside in the yard. Every day each Grade 4-8 gets a turn on the hill. It has been a short week but I will see you later. Lees, Tite racing recognized with three awards Students’ holiday activities include skiing, sledding, family Having a (big) ball During recess last Thursday at North Woods Elementary School, students made the most of the snow that was left on the ground by trying to make the biggest snow-boulders they could.
