Kindergartens learn bus safety
By Sarah Little and Jen Cowan
This week at BPS the new
kindergartens have been learning
about Bus Safety. Constable
Marshall came to the school to
show the children a video about
being safe while on the bus. He
also showed them how to get on
and off of the bus safely.
On Tuesday, May 6 students
from Brussels went to East
Hullett PS speaker goes far
Wawanosh Public School to have a
fun filled day of bordenball. Even
though it was cold and windy we
had a good day. The boys went
went were: Andrew Garland, Josh
Nichol, Mike Walker, Stephen
Todd, Jared Cardiff, Rob McKer-
cher, Mike Bernard, Matthew
Elliott, Chris Coulter, Tim Harrison,
Lance McLellan, Kyle Stephenson,
and Troy Backhaus. The girls that
went were: Amy Douma, Nicole
Lowe, Nicole Bernard, Katie Clark,
Jen Cowan, Jen McDonald, Kate
Kuepfer, Sarah Little, Trish Teeft,
Shannon White, Eileen Exel, and
Megan Bragg. The other schools
were: Wingham Public, Grey
Central, Tumberry Central, East
Wawanosh and Howick Public.
The teams were made up of
students from each school.
The students in the 6/7 class
made Mother's Day baskets, of a pop
bottle, material, cotton, lace and
ribbon. They could put whatever
they wanted in them, but most
people wanted to put chocolates in.
On Friday, May 9 the Grade 9
graduation pictures were finally
taken. All students were photo
graphed in gowns and ribbons in
the school's colours. Girls had their
picture taken with a bouquet of
roses.
Throughout the past few weeks,
students have been practicing for
track and field. The meet will be on
May 16. The high jump mat has
been out for practice. The shotput
balls have been out as well.
On Monday the kindergartens,
Grades Is and 2/3s went to the
Wingham Hospital. They learned
what it's like to work in a hospital.
Tuesday was pizza lunch at the
school.
On Wednesday there will be a
skipping assembly held for the
skip-a-thon.
Thursday, Mrs. Whyte's 6/7 class
will be going to the science centre.

Apparently, a little humour and
personal experience can take one a
long way.
Travelling to Elliott Lake for the
provincial speaking championships
was the end result of Hullett Cen
tral Public School's Charlotte
Worsell's talk on "alphabetical dis
crimination".
Worsell, a Grade 4 student and
daughter of Shelley and Bob
Worsell of RR1, Auburn, took her
speech-giving talents north, May 3,
to compete against three other
Grade 4-6 students in the provincial
finals. She finished as a runner-up.
Worsell says she was inspired to
write the speech after suffering at
the end of the list for years.
"I hated being last," she says. "I
was the last to have my order taken
for hotdogs and pizza and last to
get my report card."
However, there are some advan
tages, she says. "I was the last to go
to the dental hygienist". And as the
last to be videotaped for the
Legion's identification program,
Worsell says she knew exactly
what to say when it was her turn.
"I would like to be first some
times," she says.
On her trek to the provincial
finals, Worsell said her speech six
times: in class, at the school level,
in Blyth, Clinton, Chesley and Eto
bicoke before going to Elliott Lake.
She advanced as far as the competi
tion could take her.
