The Londesborough UCW will meet on Monday, Feb. 18 beginning with dessert at 7:30 p.m. Mikayla Allen will talk about her summer Me to We Mission Trip to Ecuador with St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary School. As this is the love month I want to share this quote from C.S. Lewis that was included in the order of service from Londesborough United Church on Feb. 3. According to Christ’s teaching neighbour is interpreted to mean all mankind. The scripture passage that morning was 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13. “Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbour; act as if you do. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him . If you injure someone you dislike, you will find yourself disliking him more. If you do him a good turn, you will find yourself disliking him less.” HAPPY GANG SENIORS The Happy Gang Seniors of Londesborough held their first meeting of 2013 on Wednesday, Jan. 30. During the business part of the afternoon the group decided they will not hold a card party as part of the Clinton Public Hospital Auxiliary Card Cavalcade this year. Instead they agreed to sent a monetary donation. Janny Fear was the guest speaker that day. Janny is a volunteer food advisor and she offered advice on how to eat healthier. Her advice included the following tips. Read labels carefully for nutrient information and ingredient lists, brown bread may not always contain fibre. Choose healthy margarines that are soft and non- hydrogenated. Choose snacks that are lower fat content or fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat lean cuts of meat. When shopping be sure to include foods from all four food groups according to Canada’s Food Guide to provide a combination of nutrients. Remember ingredients are listed on labels from most to least. Choose vegetables of different colours for Vitamins A and C. And don’t forget to drink lots of water. The health check symbol on a label indicates a healthy choice. Janny had a variety of pamphlets for the seniors to take home to read. UCW to meet Feb. 18, discuss Allen’s mission trip Hullett CPS selling carnations for Valentine’s Day By Colton Rodger Love is in the air, so the student council is selling carnations. The carnations come in pink, red and white and they are $2.50 each. Your youngest, or only, child should come home with a form with all the information on it about how to order your carnations. Sam Kerr is buying a carnation for her little brothers’ friend, Jacob Josling. The spirit day for February is a Slippers and Teddy Bear Day. All grades are asked to wear slippers and bring a teddy bear to school. Students will get two points in their house if they bring both items. That’s all for this week but since I don’t have that much news I’m going to share a joke. What would happen if everybody in Canada drove red cars? Then it would be a red car nation.By Morgan HowsonLast week at Hullett CentralPublic School we started our week off with a much enjoyed snow day. It is also a good week for me because I also got the privilege of being able to write about what is happening in the intermediate classes. So to start things off in the Grade 7 class the students were given a challenge to read at least one book during the month of January. Most students in the class read considerably more. For example, some students read a whole series of Harry Potter. Some of those books contain at least 600 pages. The Grade 7/8 math class finished integers in math and now are moving on to Cartesian co-ordinate grids. In art the Grade 7/8 students are painting copies of Paul Cézanne or Paul Gaugin’s paintings. On Friday they were busy enjoying the snow hill, however the Grade 7/8 students also love those snow days. By Ben Stewart Hello everyone, because we had a snow day and a PA day not much happened this week. In the junior hall the Grade 5/6 class has started studying space. They are excited to learn more about their own planet, universe and solar system. The Grade 6 students have also started learning about European explorers. Winter safety has also been discussed. The students were able to create posters that reflect useful winter safety tips. In Grade 3/4 the students did social studies presentations this week, with partners, about a province or territory in Canada. Grade 3/4s also did someexperiments in science playing withlight. They discovered that light travels in a straight line but it doesnot travel through walls. Just for funthey stuck eight pencils through a bag of water without causing leaks.That’s all for this week. Hope to seeyou all soon.
