IMPACTS By Heather Douma On Monday the grade sevens and eights went to F. E. Madill for a drinking and driving presentation given by Norbert Georget, a Saska- toon, Saskatchewan ambulance attendant. Mr. Georget showed some slides that he had taken at accident scenes. On Wednesday, May 19, Paul Carroll, the new Director of Education for Huron County took some of the trustees to the school to see an excellent model of a primary Language Arts program. After spending the morning in Ms Anonech's room the trustees came to the staff room and over coffee and cake I got to interview Mrs. Baumgarten and Mr. Garniss. Here are some of the questions I asked them and their answers: What is your job as a trustee? Brussels People The May meeting of Melville W.M.S. was held at the home of Thelma Cardiff. Leona Armstrong was the leader and opened the meeting with a poem on "Mother". Hymns were sung accompanied by Leona at the key board. The scripture from Proverbs 31, verses 10 - 33 was read by Helen Elliott. A poem "If you Wonder" was read in unison. Readings on "Today" and "A Good Woman" were read by Ruby Steiss. A paper on "God's Earth in Bombay India" was read by Leona. President Helen Elliott took over the business part of the meeting. Helen thanked Thelma for having the meeting and Leona for leading. The secretary and treasurer's reports were given and accepted. Members were reminded to save their I.G.A. slips. The roll call was answered with a verse containing the word "crown". Helen Elliott read about "firm tired footing". A lovely lunch was served by the hostess assisted by Isobel Gibson and Leona Armstrong and a social time enjoyed. We set directions for the school system and represent the students. We also represent the townships and reflect their ideas and concerns. What changes do you see happening in the next couple of years? The schools are going to have to be tighter with supplies and finding a way to pay for everything is going to be a big problem. How much time does being a trustee take up? It takes about one day a week and evenings. Plus we're on committees and we represent the board at functions. What do you like best about your job? The best things about our job are visiting the schools and meeting the students. I wasn't able to interview Mr. Carroll in person but he faxed his answers to the school. What advice would you give grade eight graduates? I would advise grade eight graduates to learn how to cope with change. There will be profound change in their lifetime as adolescents and adults in Canada. These changes will be the result of drastic adjustments in our economy and in our social structures. Coping with change in a flexible manner will be essential. How do you think education will change in the 21st century? Education will occur in many locations away from the school. Learning will happen in real-life classrooms in the home, community, and the workplace. Technology will play a major role in making this possible. A new- found relevance for school programs will emerge as schooling is adjusted to respond to change in the 21st Century. Why did-you want to become the director of education? I wanted to become director of education to assist students and their teachers prepare for the future. As the key educational leader I can work with others to set a course for growth and development for all the partners in the education system including students and their parents, teachers and support staff, elected officials and the broader community of interested persons in business, industry and other service agencies. The 1990s will be a challenging but exciting time for all of us. On Tuesday, May 18 the Junior Choir, led by Mrs. Joan Perrie, performed at the B. M. & G. Community Centre for the Meals on Wheels luncheon. Students from Mr. Teall's, Mrs. Cousins's, and Mr. Riley's classes participated. They sang "Don't Kill the World" and pieces from the Spring Concert including the theme song "Music Moves Me". Mrs. Perrie said that the audience was very appreciative of the choir and the music.
