PITCH IN
by Jason Engel
Was pitch-in day a success? That
is the question. There was a
notable difference in the look of the
town but I do not think that it will
stop people from littering unless
they are the ones who have to go
around town
age.
There was
part of the
cleaning up the town and a good
effort on the part of the students
who stayed back to clean up the
school. I also believe that Pitch-In
was good exercise for the students
and it showed that people are
throwing things, that can be re
cycled, on the ground instead of
recycling them. I think that people
should start recycling more than
they are or there is not going to be
any room for all of the garbage that
is being produced.
CLEAN UP
by David Becker
Not all students went around
town picking up garbage. Grade
eight students stayed behind with
Mr. Axtmann to do work around
school doing tasks such as cleaning
up after the construction workers
finished the addition. This was an
excellem chance for doing this after
what seemed like a lifetime of
winter. We shifted sand to the
Primary students equipment. We
then packed 300 trees, keeping the

LA GROSSE VALISE
by John Ramirez
A magnificent theatre production
called “La Grosse Valise” produc
ed by “Masque ‘n’ Tape” was
shown to all the elementary school
teachers in Huron County on May
1, which was P.A. Day.
On the following Tuesday and
Wednesday, the play was viewed
by all the grade 7 and 8’s. The
touring group of five Canadians
from Quebec, Richard Lemire,
Carole Bougie, Joanne Benoit, Onil
Melancon and Philippe La Liberte,
came here to Blyth to entertain all
of the young adults.
Vivid ideas and pictures were
easily captured, and portrayed
using the spectacular costumes,
props, and exceptional masks. All
of this was done, with a minimum
of speaking, which was amazing.
It was a thrill and pleasure to go
and see them. Good luck in your

They were handed out Tuesday,
April 24 as part of Earth Day. All in
all they improved both neighbour
hood and school grounds.

AUTHOR VISITS B.P.S.
by Melissa Kerr
On Wednesday, May 2, Shirley
Day, (the author of “Monica’s
Mother said ‘No’,” “Waldo’s
Backyard,” and “Ruthie’s Big
Tree’) came to Blyth P.S. to tell the
children in grades one to five about
how authors edit and detail their
books.
Ms. Day is from Toronto where
she not only writes and illustrates
books, but also paints and her work
is exhibitied in an art gallery in
Toronto. She also has time for her
four grandchildren, and the story in
her books always have a point. Ms.
Day writes her stories based upon
her childhood. She tells the child
ren that these are “family stories”.
The Students and Teachers of
B.P.S. would like to thank Ms. Day
for coming and maybe someday
some of us could grow up to be an
author/ painter/ grandmother like
herself. We would also like to thank
Mrs. Webster for arranging every
thing.
