A Puppet Show was put on in the Brookside School Library on Tuesday, October 31, for students from Kinder- garten to Grade 4.

The students enjoyed the presen- tation and would like them to come again soon. Monday was P.D. Day and teachers from Brookside went to G.D.C.I. to hear various speakers or take part in workshops. One of the speakers was Mrs. Pearl Cassel, co-author of the book, "Discipline Without Tears" who shared some methods which have worked for her in her teaching career and gave some insight into the reasons why children act as they do sometimes. The lectures were open to parents and those who availed them- selves of the .opportunity to come were quite enthusiastic so perhaps the. practice of sharing P.D.
