Olympics by Tara Thacker As you all know the 1988 Winter Olym- pics were here in Canada recently. We took the Olympics as our houseleagues Theme this year. We are divided into twelve different countries. Russia, China, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, South Africa, Egypt, Venezuala, France, Ger- many and Kenya are our teams. Each day we all try to get as many points for our teams as we can. We can earn points by do- ing good work, answering the morning nutrition questions, helping each other and proper behavior. The seniors can par- ticipate in sports at noonhours to earn points also. Right now there's a close race for the winning team and the pizza party at the end of the year. Our teams have taken part in cross- country, soccer, volley -ball, arm wrestl- ing, snow sculptures and our own mini Winter Olympics. Each team has a teacher for a leader and we would like to thank them for encouraging school spirit. It's a tight race so be watching for a win • - ning team at L.C.P.S.

Our new portable also came along with a very nice new teacher, Mrs. Mary Forrest. The students in the portable are just a few from these grades, grades 4 and 5. We are all sure that the students in the portable have all put a gret deal of effort in getting used to the por- table, good work! ! Tangle Foot Senior students from Teeswater, Ripley, Brookside and Lucknow enjoyed an in- teresting musical/history presentation by three minstrels from Toronto on March 11. The story of the opening of Western Canada, through fur trading and gold fever, was cleverly told through mime, song, slides and acting. The musicians were superb and we hope to be able° to see more live theatre in the months to come. Cross Country by Heather Askes This past year a bus load of athletic kids travelled to Ainsdale golf course on Oc- tober 14. We competed against Ripley, Huron Heights, Elgin Market and W.E. Thompson. We made our school proud. Later in October we drove at Paisley and this time it was all of Bruce County. Our coach was Mr. Flanagan, we thank him. We had a fun season but next year we will have more fun and people. Band This year in band, we have played in many things such as in parades, remem- brance service, and carolfest. This year on the band trip we are going to play at many schools. They are: Dundas Central and Central Park. We will be playing there on May 17. On May 18 we will be playing in Mohawk Gardens in Burlington. We also are playing in Pineland, which is in Burl- ington. On May 19 we will be playing at Eastview in Oakville. In the afternoon we will be playing in Kilbride in Burlington. On May 20 we will be playing at Rolling Meadows in Burlington. On the way home we will be playing at Flamborough Centre for Seniors. We hope to be in more places this year and having great times together. Maybe we can put a little zing in your life. If you ask me about band, I think it's GREAT! ! If you get a chance to be in the band, go for it! By Tracey Visser. Skipping Club by Katrina Abbott Twice a week you can hear a tap -tap -tap on the gymnasium• floor. Members of the Skipping Club meet on Tuesdays at noon and Thursdays after school. Under the direction of Mr. McKeon and Mrs. Armstrong -Gibson people are learning Double Dutch, Bubble, and other skipping routines. One exciting thing the Lucknow Skippers have done this year is Jump Rope for Heart. Grades 4 to 8 raised 1700 dollars for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. They are now practising for Open House and hope to see you there!!

Spring Joe Ernest Grade 1 We are flying our kites and playing games. We love spring. I see a dog and cat I see a horse and a cow by the barn. I see my family. My Sister Margo • Abbott Grade 1 I have a big sister. She is Katrina. She always bosses me, but I don't care at all. I like my sister when I play with her, and fly kites, and she is nice to me, too. Dragons Erin Eadie • Once there were eight dragons. They all lived in the forest. The eight dragons loved to play and they loved to eat. They were 9 years old. They visit their mom everyday. Four of them were sick. They couldn't come and play. The other dragons were sad so the others went back home.
