Top sellers at Brussels P.S. get 6-metre sundae BY JULIE CLOAKEY AND SUZANNE COYNE Lou Donders, a magazine repre­ sentative, came to our school on Thursday, February 8 and intro­ duced us to the magazine cam­ paign. This campaign is a worth­ while event because the money can be spent on things such as class trips. This year, as well as last year, a six-metre sundae will be awarded to the top selling class. This sundae contains many flavours of ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, peanuts and is topped off with many cherries. The sundae encourages kids to sell magazines. Small prizes are given out as a reward for selling at least one magazine. This campaign is fun for people of all ages because they all get to be involved in helping to make money for the school. This cam­ paign has been a success for a couple of years now and hopefully this year it will be just as good. The grade 4’s moved out of the gym into their new classroom on February 7.
