Christian School welcomes new families to the area This is the very first report for the Clinton 6 District Christian School this year. Many activities are already underway and the school year is shaping up to be a very busy one. We have an enrolment of 220 this year - the highest ever. New families to the school class­ rooms and to the society are: Brand, Branderhorst, Miedema, Vandersterre, and Wynja. Preslee Maver in Gr. 6 began classes Monday, Oct. 15. Both staff and students are rapidly becoming we’l-acquainted. G'ne of the first activities was to conduct a fundraising campaign for student activities. Christmas and Everyday greeting cards were sold by the students. Also added to the sales campaign were assorted spices and two-year calendars. The campaign was successful. The ord­ ers have been sent in and all customers will soon receive their goods. An added feature to the CDCS school activities is the availability of piano instruction by two quali­ fied private teachers. Mrs. Connie Bos and Mrs. June Hardie have a full roster of students taking less- - ons during the school hours of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs­ day. The Computers for Kids cam­ paign is also off to a good beginning. By collecting UPC’s from a list of special consumer products for the next six months, the school hopes to add to its line of computer equipment. An interesting and varied Thanksgiving assembly was con­ ducted on October 5. It was led by Miss Koresbergen, assisted by Mrs. VanWyke. All classes partici­ pated in offering poems, choral speaking, songs, and drama. The message was clear - we are thankful for the many great gifts we receive in our daily life. A gathering of food gifts was happily boxed and distributed to needy families via the churches represen­ ted in the school. The soccer teams have been practicing as much as possible under the coaching of Mr. Mel vanLingen and Mr. Ralph Schuur- man. However, the games that were long-awaited seem to have been cancelled permanently now. The playing fields are just too wet! The games to be held in London for the Woodstock District Christian Schools were first of all postponed; now it seems they are off altogeth­ er. It is indeed disappointing for the teams who were prepared. The Kindergarten apple orchard visits to the Ridder apple farm were also postponed due to cold and wet weather. They did however get to go last Oct. 15 for the “A” group and on Oct. 16 for the “B” group. The month of October is now almost completed. Students receiv­ ed their interim report on Wednes­ day, Oct. 24. These reports give everyone the first written indica­ tion of the students’ progress. Interviews will follow. A two-day teachers’ convention was held Oct. 25 and 26 in Hamilton. To round out the month, school pictures are being taken on Oct. 30 and 31. It has been an active, worthwhile beginning to 1990-91 school year at CDCS. Maple syrup producers say no to container fee Maple syrup producers will not be paying fees on maple syrup containers.In a vote conducted recently ^y the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food on whether producers favored establishing fees on syrup containers, only 20 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots. Recognizing that this was not a representative sample of Ontario’s maple syrup producers, the asso­ ciation and the ministry concluded that there would be no further action on the proposal. Of the 1,950 maple syrup produ­ cers who received ballots, 378 voted on the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association proposal to establish a fee on syrup containers. Fifty-seven per cent of those who voted were in favour of the fee, which would have been used to provide funds for research, educa­ tion and advertising for the maple syrup industry to finance the association. The family gathered at 12 noon to enjoy a delicious meal and presented Ken and Leona with many beautiful gifts. Jo Ann Mc­ Donald composed and read an address to the couple in honour of the happy occasion. An open house was then held from 11:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon when over one hundred people came to congratulate Ken and Leona. A most pleasant surprise for them was the arrival of their son. Neil from Vancouver and daughter Karen and children Michael and Kendra from Calgary. A buffet lunch was set up and the hall was decorated in wine, silver and white with a lovely assortment of green plants, giving the hall a very festive look.
