Last week the Grade 7/8 and
Grade 7 classes examined a huge
map of the war of 1812. It took up
most of the gym floor. This map was
on loan from the Royal Canadian
Geographical Society and the
Government of Canada. Students
were able to walk all over the map
and examine it. A number of
interesting activities were also
provided which helped students
understand what happened back
then.

Are you a heart hero? Certainly
our principal is. During the Heart
and Stroke presentation he came
prancing through the gym wearing a
red, yellow and white super hero
suit. All the students were very
amused. Thanks Heart and Stroke
Foundation for coming and
presenting to us.

This lesson makes life easy and simple
(J.R. Miller)
“As your days--so shall your strength be!” Deuteronomy 33:25
We have nothing to do with life in the aggregate--that great bulk of duties,
responsibilities, struggles, and trials which belong to a course of years. We really
have nothing to do even with the nearest of the days before us--tomorrow. Our sole
business is with the one little day which is now passing. Its burdens will not crush
us--we can easily carry them until the sun goes down. We can always get along for
one short day--it is the projection of life into the long future, which dismays and
appalls us.
Each day is, in a certain sense, a complete life by itself. It has its own duties, its own
trials, its own burdens, and its own needs. The very best we can do for the
perfecting of our life as a whole, is to live the one day well.
We should put all our thought and energy and skill into the duty of each day,
wasting no strength, either in grieving over yesterday’s failures--or in anxiety about
tomorrow’s responsibilities.
This lesson makes life easy and simple!
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34

Using a huge, gymnasium-sized map of Upper and Lower Canada, students at Hullett
Central Public School learned about the war of 1812 last week. Teacher Abby Armstrong,
centre, is shown here explaining to the students how difficult it was for war to be fought in the
tough terrain which affected supply lines and resulted in armies running raids on each other.
