Garry Hiusser, Joe Pearson, Crystal Child Find 6th ribbon Child Find (Ontario) Incorpor­ ated announces its sixth annual Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign designed to highlight the issue of missing children in Canada and around the world. The campaign will run for the entire month of May culminating with National Missing Children's Day on May 25. Last year over 55,000 children were registered as "missing" by the RCMP's Missing Children Registry. These numbers include runaways, lost and abducted children, as well as those who have simply "disappeared". The green ribbon symbolizes Child Find's concern for missing children as well as commitment and efforts to help ensure all of Canada's children are safe. The concept of the Green Ribbon of Hope was originated by the students and faculty of Holy Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines on behalf of their classmate, Kristen French. In memory of Edgar, Brian Oldfield, Matt McCall, Phil Affolter and Marc Fischer helped the younger students with their trees. JUNIOR LEVEL ENRICHMENT This week the Junior Division is starting its enrichment. The subject is art. launches children by wearing a green ribbon. Proceeds from any donations and fundraising events held on behalf of the Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign will be used to support Child Find's free-of-charge community based programs and services directed at searching for missing children and the education of children and adults as to the dangers of abduction. Child Find (Ontario) Incorporated is a registered, charitable organization dedicated to reducing the incidence of missing children. It assists in the location of missing children by networking with law enforcement agencies, governments, lawyers, and parents. Child Find prepares and distributes posters and flyers throughout the province, and works closely with parents and children towards educating on the dangers of abduction. All of these programs are endorsed by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police. Students will work on photo­ graphy, painting, tapestry, folk art, quilts, etc. Some local artist and talented people will be coming to the school to share their knowledge and experience. Mr. Cober, a retired Huron County teacher will be coming to help as well. Students from Listowel District Secondary School and F. E. Madill in Wing­ ham are coming as well. On May 5 there will be an art display at Grey Central from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the library and gym. KIWANIS MUSIC FESTIVAL Grey Central once again partici­ pated in this event. Classes and smaller ensembles of vocal talent were shuttled back and forth from Grey to Stratford during the week of April 21. Mrs. Whitmore and Mrs. Colquhoun hoped to have their singers in top voice for these events. GRADUATION PICTURES Grade 8 had their graduation photos take on Friday, April 18 at Artist at work 9 a.m. Even though it was early for some it's hoped that the word, "cheese" was evident in the camera. The class photo was taken at the same time as everyone was "gussied up" for the picture. Now all they have to do is graduate! Finally, they are pleased to announce that a new landing pit has arrived in time for track and field day. This will be of great assistance when practising high jump. Junior Achievement also is at Grey with three presenters at work in Grades 5, 7 and 8. We hope to learn to make money and become rich very quickly. It is amazing to think that there is only about nine weeks of school left this school year. We know it will go quickly at our busy school. ■a.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiliiiitiiiiliiiiiiiiilliiin^ OPEN HOUSE FOR MARY LOWE’S 75TH BIRTHDAY from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. at I.O.O.F.- Rebekah Lodge Rooms Brussels, Ontario Please accept this as your personal invitation.
