Sherry Lynn, April 12, 1965 -
February 2, 1993.
You never said you were leaving,
You never said goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knew why.
A million times we needed you,
A million times we’ve cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts, you hold a place,
No one could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
– Love always Mom and Dad. 05-1

Students in all grades at East
Wawanosh Public School have been
busy writing persuasive letters and
essays. Students are to provide
supporting arguments for their
argument.
The gymn is being kept very busy
during recess times. A great group of
student leaders organize and referee
a variety of games including floor
hockey, pin ball and King’s court.
In response to the fire in Clinton
that destroyed the Salvation Army,
Food Bank, second hand clothing
store and apartments, East
Wawanosh Public School did a 24-
hour food drive. They were able to
collect 154 items to send in support.
Students have been invited to
donate a toonie in support of the
Haiti relief projects.
The student council has been busy
since January.
They have had two Munchie
Mondays (selling 55 bags of popcorn
and 84 sundaes) and two crazy spirit
days (twin day and team colour day).
The school was colourful on Jan.
22 with different teams wearing their
special colour. During the last block
of the day, captains of the houses
taught the cheer to their house and
then they were presented in the gym
in front of the entire school.
Student Council is hoping to
continue Munchie Monday but
require some additional support from
our school community.
On Monday, Feb. 22, they would
like to host a Muffin Monday. They
are actively looking for three or four
parents who would be willing to
come in and assist in preparing over
100 muffins.
Any donations of ingredients or
prepared muffin mix would be
generously accepted.
Canada Day is on Feb. 12.
Students are encouraged to celebrate
the nation as the Opening ceremonies
commence in Vancouver by wearing
anything that exemplifies Canadian
spirit.
Olympic Day will be held on Feb.
19. Students will be in their house
colour and will be participating in a
variety of wonderful winter
activities. Students are reminded to
dress appropriately and to bring
several sets of mittens and socks for
the day.
The school has been holding floor
hockey tournaments. The first is for
Grades 1 - 4 and the second is for
Grades 5 - 8. Each team will get to
play several games.
They will be selling carnations
from Feb. 2 - 5. The carnations will
be delivered to students on Feb. 12.
Student council will be working
with students from all age groups to
create a school newspaper. It is
anticipated that the first edition of the
newspaper will be released shortly
after March break. Be prepared for
some informative writing, creative
writing, poetry, art work and sports
updates.
On Tuesday, Jan. 20, 10 students
participated in the YAH (Young
Active and Healthy) conference held
in Clinton at REACH. There, they
learned about healthy living and
active games that they eventually will
be teaching the other students in the
school.
Ms Gardiner would like to thank
the following people for a successful
day: Ashley Johnston, Nicole Hardy,
Emily Stennett, Brooklyn Tiffin, Wes
Klages, Megan Stute, Wyatt
Schiestel, Chance Smith, Autumn
Wightman, Jeff Hallahan. The parent
volunteer was Laura Johnston.

Room). We will be sharing the
results of the Safe Schools Survey
sent home earlier in the school year.
All parents are welcome to attend.
The Knox United Church K4C
group is undertaking many
fundraising efforts to help the people
of Haiti who have been effected by
the earthquake on Jan. 12. They have
been busy with the coin drive at the
school and in the near future look for
signs posted around Belgrave
advertising a teddy bear drive so
children of Haiti can have teddy
bears to help comfort them.
A supper and talent auction will
also soon be advertised to raise
money for much needed supplies to
be sent to Haiti.
This will be a chance to bid on
such talents as - babysitting, baking,
snow shovelling, cleaning, etc.
East Wawanosh students
write persuasive essays
By Reba Jefferson
On Friday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. at
Eileen George’s, Wawanosh 4-H
began its new Club Happy Holidays.
At each meeting the group will look
at different holidays or celebrations
and learn about the history, make a
craft and bake foods related to the
holiday.
Junior leader, Reba Jefferson, led
the club in a game of Things in a
Box, while members were arriving.
She then opened the meeting with
the pledge and led roll call, which
asked members how they thought
Valentine’s Day began. Many
members thought it had something
to do with St. Valentine or couples
wanting a way to celebrate their
love.
Leader, Eileen George said they
would find out the real answer later
in the meeting, then divided the club
into two groups. One group made
heart cupcakes and another made
heart tarts.
While the desserts were baking,
leader Mary Ellen Foran held the
election of officers. Sophie Jefferson
is president, Sydney McIlhargey
was elected vice-president, Eugenia
Pentland is secretary and Reba
Jefferson is press reporter.
Members were to prepare a
presentation or skit about the history
of Valentine’s Day. The club learned
that Valentine’s Day is celebrated
because of the man St. Valentine,
who performed marriages at a time
when they were banned.
Then Marita Oudshoorn taught
half the club how to make woven
hearts while Eileen George taught
the other half to make wire
hearts.
After members were done the first
craft they began on the next craft.
Members found the crafts a little
challenging but in the end they
looked great.
Sophie Jefferson closed the
meeting.
The next meeting is on Monday,
Feb. 15 at 9 a.m. at the Jeffersons.
What a contribution!
The students and staff of Blyth Public School took it upon themselves to hold a food drive to
benefit The Salvation Army after the fire in Clinton depleted many of its reserves in Huron
County. A competition was held to see who could donate the most food, which was won by
the Grade 6/7 class with $420 worth of food alone. The school donated over $1,400 worth of
food combined. Here, the Grade 6/7 class celebrates their victory and their contribution to
The Salvation Army. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
