BY DYLAN HUTCHINS AND SHANE WILSON It’s that time of year again, the season for new clothes, school supplies and back to school. For some, it’s their very first time and we thought it should be scary. We spoke to two of the kinder­ gartens and both of them told us they were not scared at all. They both agreed that Miss Nethery was nice and the playground was their favourite place. Sally Ray liked the monkey bars best while Jeffery White liked the slide. It was good to hear their enthusiastic feelings about school and we hope the whole year is like that for them. Their new teacher Miss Denise Nethery had some enthusiastic responses to her first week of teaching here at Brussels Public School. She said she found both staff and students to be most helpful. Her choice to teach as far as grade level, was Kindergarten EASY COME - EASY GO HAS FAX Yes, a complete Facsimile Transfer Service is now available through The Citizen newspaper.

GOT THE MESSAGE? and she entered teaching because she has always enjoyed working with people. The Brussels area was her choice also because she grew up in this area and calls it home. She told us that she went to school in St. Catherines and she has some very interesting hobbys such as playing the piano and karatie. Welcome to Brussels Public School Miss Nethery. We’re glad you chose Brussels to begin your career and hope your first year here will be an exciting and rewarding experience. We went on down the hall to speak to Mr. David Kemp, our new principal and Grade 7/8 Math and History teacher. We had, of course, already met Mr. Kemp in class in the hall and in the playground when he is on yard duty and in our first day assembly. It was in the assembly on Day 1 that he told us that the main and most important rule in our school is to use common FEELING TEN FEET TALL! “All those badges we got for tying knots, doing up bandages properly, and keeping stock of camp supplies, are some of the best pats on the back of our lives! Very motivating!” sense. When we interviewed Mr. Kemp he told us he had most recently taught in Hensail but had earlier taught in North West Territories for seven years. He chose to be a teacher because he really wants to help young peole learn. He has found that people in Huron County, kids and parents are good to work with, co-operative and supportive of the school. So far, he says he likes every much the students, the staff and the parents he has met in Brussels, finding them helpful and friendly. He has many outside interests and hobbies, including the study of geneology, horses and singing in the choir. Our new principal seems to be a many talented, interesting and active person. We hope Brussels will continue to be a good place for him and that his teaching time here will be a rich and rewarding experience.
