"Calling all cars!... Call all
cars!... Be on the look out for a
brown gingerbread man standing
39 cm. tall and 25 cm. wide. He is
unarmed and considered delicious.
His face is decorated with smarties.
If you see someone matching this
description please notify anyone in
the JK and SK class!"
It happened last week with the B

A combination birthday and New
Year's Eve party was held at Don
and Pat Nolans on Dec. 31. Don
and Marilyn McDonald, Dorothy
Sholdice, Marie and Neil McGavin,
Audrey and Howard Hackwell,
Anne and Jerry Ryan were all there
to celebrate the occasion.
It will certainly be a party that
the group will remember. It seems
that everyone but Don, wanted him

be. His birthday cake said, 'Happy
50th'. Pat said they all had a great
laugh because Don won't be 50
until next January.

to leave to answer the phone and
when she got back...
Well, you guessed right, he was
gone. The kids have looked
everywhere. Some crumbs were
reported to have been found in the
Grade 3 room.
The kids have been writing notes
saying that they didn't want to eat
him but wanted to be his friend.
The next day the kids checked the
trap and there they found the
cookies and a note saying that he
loved them and wanted to be their
friend too, but he is having fun
