THE EDITOR,
What a surprise some of the Blyth
Public School neighbours had last
Friday when their front yards were
raked, bagged and set at the curb for
pickup.
For those not home when it
happened, it was a mystery until we
discovered that the Grades 6-8
students and teachers at Blyth Public
School had performed a Random Act
of Kindness by cleaning up our front
yards.
One neighbour commented that
suddenly a group of students
appeared in the yard with their rakes.
They wouldn’t accept anything for
their work – explaining that they
want to offer their service to the
community as a way of saying thank
you to Daytrippers Children’s
Charity for assisting them with
financing for their school trip.
What a lovely idea, and much
appreciated by all (especially those
who work away all day and those
unable to rake).
Blyth Public School has always
been an important part of our Blyth
community and we extend our
heartfelt thanks for your kind deed.
Sincerely,
Blyth Public School Neighbours
Congratulations to Karen and Rob
Mason on the birth of their son.
Happy birthday to Iris Young who
celebrates on Nov. 16.
Don’t forget the lighting of the
lights on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 6:30
p.m.
