Hullett Central welcomes 253 students
Well, it happened again. Did you
notice it? In a previous first column
of September, I bemoaned the fact
that with the first day of school
always the weather changes. It’s as
though Mother Nature is sorry to see
the summer and carefree days of our
youth end. So, suddenly it is fall.
Let’s hope winter is still months
away. And this September the
Thresher Reunion had a wet Friday.
When was the last time that
happened?
Most first days of school for a new
year find me very blue. And this
September was no exception.
However, we were visiting with
teenagers this year. I reveled in
the excitement of heading off in
early morning and the exuberance
of tales of a new year and new
teachers.
Enrolment at Hullett Central
Public School for the 2019/2020
year is 253, down slightly from the
260 in June. Hullett had a large
graduating class of 29 in June. And
there are 24 new Junior Kindergarten
pupils this year. Yeah!
The faith community of
Londesborough United Church will
have a special gathering following
the regular morning service on
Sunday, Sept. 15 to welcome their
new minister, Susan McIlveen with a
special “Munch and Mingle’ hosted
by the Official Board.
The following Sunday, Sept. 22,
the Londesborough congregation
will join Knox United of Auburn at
the Ball’s Chapel for their annual
joint service there. Service time is
10:30 a.m.
Sunday school classes have
resumed as of Sept. 8.
Well, we are overwhelmed!
Thank you seems totally inadequate
for the support and comfort our
family has received with the passing
of our son, Michael. We are proud
and pleased to realize how many
lives he touched in a positive way.
What a wonderful thing that is for
his children to remember about their
dad.
There were so many persons who
dropped in to his celebration of life.
John and I hope we were able to
speak with each of you.
Unfortunately, perhaps, we weren't
able to spend as long as we might
have liked with each of you. But
please know your presence was
appreciated.
The words of condolence and
encouragement, the memories
shared, the hugs, the cards, the gifts,
the calls and the visits will truly help
us get through the coming weeks and
months without Michael. There are
those who continue to keep us in
their thoughts and prayers and do
know that we feel those prayers
winging our way.
So again, thank you for caring.
