Regular readers of this space may remember that the school held a shoe drive shortly after Christmas for enough outgrown but gently- used shoes and sandals to fill a hockey bag. Approximately 200 pairs of shoes are being greatly appreciated by needy children in Haiti. Proving once again that when families know where to recycle they are willing to help out. On March 31 the senior boys and girls basketball teams competed in the regional tournament at Central Huron Secondary School. The two teams had spent many hours preparing for this event and their hard work brought success. Both teams placed first in the tournament and brought home trophies. Congratulations athletes! Now you may see all the pupils at Hullett outside preparing for their annual track and field meet which will be held on Wednesday, May 18 weather permitting. The Grade 1/2 class have filed this most interesting report. Nine students from Grade 1/2 are excited to welcome home their ‘Flat Stanleys’ from vacations in various locations in Ontario, Alberta, Florida and Australia. Flat Stanley is a character from our novel study. When he was sleeping one night, a bulletin board fell on top of him making him flat enough to slide under doors and fit inside an envelope. The pupils created their own Flat Stanley and mailed him to a family member in a distant location for at two-week vacation. They asked their relatives to take Flat Stanley with them wherever they went, take pictures and record his activities and adventures in journal. These journals, and Flat Stanleys are now returning to Hullett School. The students are sharing many amazing stories and wonderful adventures with their classmates. Some of the adventures include going to a Red Sox game in Florida visiting the Sydney Opera House in Australia, going for an ambulance ride in Brampton, golfing and snowboarding. Please fee free to come in and read the Flat Stanley journals which are displayed in the foyer of the school. The new Educational Assistant at Hullett, Tracy Thompson, sent along this notice for your information. The Hullett Spring Concert dress rehearsal will be held on May 16 at 12 p.m. and the evening performance will be held on May 17 at 7 p.m. This year the audience will have an opportunity to enjoy both live entertainment and digital entertainment. The students have worked hard to be able to share their musical talents in the following ways: singing in the choir and small groups; playing in the school band; creating a slide show presentation of interesting musical instrumental inventions and making a video presentation of songs. Bring your family, friends and neighbours and sit back and enjoy the 2011 Hullett Spring Concert. A few more “May” celebrations for you to consider. The month includes things that most of us do naturally as the weather warms. This is barbecue month, salad month, bike month and flower month. It is also the “get caught reading’ month which ties right into the ‘read-in’ day on May 10. However the reading thing should be an every day and month consideration, I believe. Londesborough United Church holds its yard sale this Saturday, May 14. If you have items to donate they can be left in the church basement any day this week until 7 p.m. on Friday. The UCW will hold a bake sale the morning of May 14 as well and would welcome baking donations Friday evening or early Saturday morning. If Scottish music interests you, remember the Blyth Festival Singers are holding a “Scottish Fling” cabaret the evening of May 28 at the Stanley Complex in Varna.
