stew and pumpkin pie. The
children dressed up as pilgrims
and Indians. Much like the days of
long ago.
Later on October 17, they also
went to Ferguson’s where they
make honey. Most of the activities
were held inside. They found the
honey most delicious and an
enjoyable treat.
Last Friday, there were hot dogs
and chocolate milk for sale. The
president, secretary and treasurer
of the students’ council helped
serve them.
Also last week for three days,
Mrs. Bosman’s grade four stu

scrumptious pumpkin muffins.
Personality cubes were made ro ten

and their family.

2, Brussels, 1; Grey, 2, Turnberry,

Unfortunately we cannot ac
knowledge the other schools’
accomplishments due to the fact
that they were not available.
After an exhausting, cold day,
the Grey girls reigned triumphant
ly, with the Howick team running a
close second. Howick boys placed
first and the Grey team were
runners-up.
We would like to thank each and
every school for their participating

After we returned from our
Thanksgiving festivities, we
found, to our amazement, that two
of our favourite teachers had ‘ ‘tied
the knot.” The newlyweds are Mr.
and Mrs. David Colquhoun (form
erly Ms. Andrea Rajna). Best
wishes are extended from all the
Grey Central “eleves.”
On Thursday, Oct. 16, Dr. John
Vallentyne (also known as Johnny
Brosphere) came to Grey Central
School. He spoke to all students
about our ecosystem and the
problems it is currently suffering.
We learned that we all were part of
the problem but that we could also
be part of the solution.
