HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2007-03-29, Page 13It is likely that the pupils in Grades
7 and 8 at Hullett Central Public
School spent a good deal of their
time during March break, working
on their science fair projects. Pupils
could submit a project individually
or work in conjunction with another
student.
This was an in-house competition
held on Wednesday, March 21.
Following judging, four projects
were selected to compete again at
the Huron-Perth regional science fair
in Seaforth on Thursday, March 29.
Cousins Ali Snell and Jennifer
Snell teamed up to find out What’s
Lurking in Our School.
For someone so young, Heather
Gibson has obviously done some
painting; her project set out to Take
the Pain out of Painting.
Reflecting her hobby or horseback
riding, Emily Allen investigated
How Does Music Affect Animals.
These four girls are Grade 8 pupils.
Germ Explosion, researched by
Andy Bolinger and Jamie Plaetzer of
Grade 7, is a timely topic in light of
the worry scientists are expressing
about “super bugs”.
The students of Grade 8 are setting
up boxes of chocolate selections in
locations to raise cash for their year-
end trip to Ottawa. Chocolate is
always popular at Easter so watch
for these boxes.
The SAC group for the school
hopes that you have marked your
calendars for their reunion carnival
and auction, Friday, April 13. The
school is always a happening place
for this community night which
begins at 5 p.m.
Hullett Central Public School is
celebrating its 40th year and this
community night is a party for the
school’s birthday. All alumni and
former staff are invited too.
The evening will include games
for the kids. Bake sale table, clowns
and face painting, a silent auction.
Enjoy hot dogs, cold drinks, popcorn
and candy floss. Items for the silent
auction are welcomed from anyone
in the community. For more
information call the school or
Jennifer Fleming of the SAC group.

The ladies of Londesborough’s
Cheerio Club were encouraged by
warmer temperatures and clear
skies to travel to Mitchell for their
monthly gathering. Pearl Mason
and Ruth Shiell joined the group.
They enjoyed a noon meal at The
Crosswinds restaurant and then
spent the afternoon at the home of
Reta Kelland. Reta served the ladies
a cheesecake dessert.
Following the serenity prayer by
Dorothy Johnston, roll call was
answered with humorous readings.
Gloria McEwing won the gift of the
month given by Betty Fisher. Card
games rounded out their time
together.
The club will meet again on April
18.

A fundraiser of a different sort
has just been launched by the
Londesborough Lions Club, their
first annual rubber duck race. The
ducks will be set loose at an as-yet-
undecided site close to the village
at 1:30 p.m., Sunday, May 27. First
duck across the line brings $500 to
its owner. The second duck floating
over the line has a value of $200
while the third-place duck owner
wins $100.
What happens if yours is the last
duck to the finish line? You receive
the ‘lame duck’ award.
Tickets are $5 each and available
from any member of the Lions club
and at a variety of other locations.
