There were not as many entries in the different categories this year but thanks to all who did enter. There was some very good school work entered and Mr. Harrison and all the staff were quite proud. Literacy Continued from page 10 for more adult learners in Huron County who want help improving their basic reading and math skills. Kannegiesser noted that adults wanting assistance can call either herself or Shelley, and they will try and match them with a tutor that best serves their needs and goals. She added that like the tutors, the program is very flexible for learners. "It's student driven ... they take a primary control of their learning," she said. However, the pair did note that the children learners having difficulty with the basic skills are generally referred by individual schools, instead of parents calling the program directly. "Referrals of students attending schools in Huron County are generally through the teachers and principals," Kannegiesser said. Anyone looking for more information or who would like to volunteer as a tutor can call either Weselan or Kannegiesser at 482- 7948. By Kristen Palmer In our first two weeks we have been reviewing Mathematics skills, learning about the classification of living and non-living things. In literature, we have been listening to our teacher, Mrs. Daer, reading "I am David". It is really good so far. We are studying Europe, starting with Italy and doing other countries later. By Jason Snider and Joel Hemingway Welcome back for another great year at Grey. There will be a lot of exciting things happening at Grey this year. There are a lot of new > faces, programs and teachers this fall. Among the faces are Mr. Perrie, who taught at Grey four years ago, Miss Owen, who is replacing Mrs. Colquhoun for French, and Mrs. Johnston who is the educational assistant in the early years room. MR. PERRIE Mr. Perrie, our new environ­ mental science teacher, was happy to answer some of our questions... "What has changed since the last time you taught at Grey?" "There have been a lot of changes in the environment such as: new plants, the butterfly garden, the corridor, the trail through the bush, the pond area, and the new discovery areas." "With the experiences you have gained from other schools, do you have any ideas how we can improve our school and/or schoolyard?" "At Grey Central, we need continued use and maintenance of the excellent outdoor learning centres, specialized areas (ponds, butterfly garden, orchard, and a corridor) and trails." ENRICHMENT A few enrichment programs have been added to teach the students skills on the computer and on the internet.
