Students welcome custodian
Artist at work
Caroline Exel was quite wrapped up in her creative work at
Brussels Library last Thursday afternoon. Youngsters
enjoyed a special day of activities, puzzles, riddles and
jokes, giving Mom and Dad a spring break too.
BY LANETTE TODD AND
VICKI RICHARDS
As many already know there has
been a new addition to the staff at
Brussels Public School. Her name
is Mrs. Bennewies and she is the
new custodian.
Most people don't know Mrs.
Bennewies very well so she was
interviewed to help everyone get to
know her better.
Mrs. Bennewies has recently
been married and she commutes to
Brussels from Seaforth. When
asked if she minds driving back and
forth she said, “so far the driving
hasn't been bad.” Maybe she'll
change her mind next winter.
Mrs. Bennewies explained that
she was doing part-time custodial
work before and then she decided
that she'd prefer full-time work, so
when the position here needed to be
filled she put in a bid and got the
job. When asked if the job here was
what she expected she said, “Yes it
has been. It's a lot of fun and plenty
of work.”
Mr. Bennewies will also be help
ing at the school.
On Friday, March 13, Brussels
Public School held a “Fun Day”. In
preparation for this event students
decorated classroom doors and bul
letin boards with surfers, surf
boards, beach balls, people
swimming and many other colour
ful displays.
When Friday rolled around, stu
dents participated in activities, such
as skateboard, swimming, beach
ball games, sand castle building,
beach blanket bingo and many oth
ers.
Students were also requested to
dress up in beach attire such as
shorts t-shirts and sun hats.
There were prizes for the funkiest
hat and a picnic in the gym.
Students from grade six to grade
eight are paired together to write
and illustrate books for the primary
students. With the help of Mrs.
Raymond these books should be
finished by April 16. Hopefully
these books will be well used and a
good asset to the school library.
On Wednesday, March 4, Dawn
Engle, a student at Fanshawe Col
lege in London, came to talk to
grade eight about her courses in
Early Childhood Education, ECE.
Dawn was an excellent speaker
and let students know what to
expect at college. From the cost of
books to the layout of the college
she was a great help. Thanks for
coming Dawn!
This year the magazine campaign
was very successful with a total of
$1,686 raised to put towards the
instrumental music program.
On March 5 any student who
sold a magazine went to the gym
for lunch. When everyone had gone
to the gym they received half an
assorted sub. Mr. Kemp drew
names for prizes.
There were five wallets, five
packages of markers, five watches,
and one thrcc-in-onc flashlight to
be won. The flashlight, which was
the grand prize, was won by
