Destination: Hensel Composting. We did not know that because it was a "mystery" tour. As soon as we arrived we saw a man dressed up like a furry white bean, the mascot! The bus drove around the back of the composting place. We walked Seniors meet Vice President Sarah Stephenson conducted the meeting of the Friendship Club held at Maple Villa on Wednesday, June 13 with 16 in attendance.

As we got out we were hit with a very strong odour of "fermenting" grain fines. Following the video, we had a walking tour of the three "channels" of organic matter. This facility is a huge success. Landscapers buy the recycled grain fines to fix with natural fertilizers to add to their top soil mixes. REPORTING LIVE FROM B.P.S. By Heather Douma and Susie Black Last Wednesday morning the grade seven class travelled to the wilderness of East Wawanosh Nature Centre where leaders, Esther Buck and Jayne Thompson, demonstrated the usefulness of compasses and orienteering. First we went on two short orienteering courses in the building and the surrounding yard. We were given compasses and maps of the Nature Centre and told to find the control points on our course. Mr. Wanless had asked for the hardest course because he thought we were capable of handling it. We didn't have enough time to finish the course, but some people came close. The grade eights are going to do the same thing next Wednesday morning. On Thursday from 12:00 to 1:30 Mrs. Uhler's grade two/three class and Mrs. Perrie's grade sevens went on a Reading Buddy Picnic. They went to the Conservation Area by the dam and played games and ate sandwiches and cookies for lunch. The purpose of this outing was to have fun with their Readin& Buddies. From the grade seven class we interviewed Robbie Burkholder who thought it was o.k. and Sherry Therrien who thought it was fun. From grade two/three we interviewed Chris Walker, who thought the best was playing baseball and would like to go again next year. Evan Horst thought finding the hidden candies was awesome and would enjoy going again next year and Nicole White thought playing games was the most exciting part. On Tuesday, June 22 the Kindergarten class of '93 had their annual Teddy Bear graduation picnic at the Conservation Area by the dam. The teachers have asked that all students who ride bikes to school put them in the bicycle racks provided. This past week a number of bikes that were not in the racks were brought into the school until the owner came to claim them. Hopefully this will not happen again. The countdown has started — school is done soon! The grade eights are especially excited at the thought of the coming year at high school. As for the rest of the students, we are looking forward to a summer of fun and sun. The behaviour of the students has improved greatly since the beginning of the year, although all the tests the grade seven/eights have been taking lately have not been helping (hint, hint).
