EDUCATION WEEK

Education week was celebrated
last week at Grey Central. One
purpose for education weeks is to
encourage the parents and com

year education week was April 27 -
May 1.
In our school there was a talent
show on Monday, an Open House
on Tuesday evening, kindergarten
registration on Wednesday and a
trip to the Stratford Music Festival
for Grades five and six on
Thursday. On Thursday, the grade
6 class sang at the Callander
Nursing Home in Brussels and on
Friday some students from grades
seven and eight competed in
Stratford.
We hope everyone enjoyed the
talent show. We know everyone
who was in the talent show enjoyed
displaying their talents. We would
like to thank everyone who came to
the open house and helped make it
a success. We wish all the students
the best of luck in their efforts in
singing in Stratford.
