PAGE 7. I would like to take a moment to thank two stellar Ethel community members for their contributions last week to our little hamlet. Charlene Brubacher donated some of her time to rake and tidy up the garden and area surrounding the mailboxes in the centre of town. When I saw Charlene pull up and This week the office at Grey Central school would like to remind everyone that Friday, April 26 is a PA Day. A special thanks needs to be conveyed to Charlie and Catherine Tetpstra for donating 50 pounds of ham that was enjoyed during the Easter dinner at Grey Central. Mme. Colquhoun's classes of Grade 6, 7 and 8 have just finished cheese and baked good orders. The profits from these orders will be for their Ottawa trip. In French, some of the classes, like the Grade 6s, have been doing quizzes and fun games like lotto and sofa. Mrs. Scott's class is learning about the letter X. They made space ships and aliens. They are doing measuring in math. Mrs. Bowler's kindergarten class is learning about the letter X. They are also making sun catchers. Miss Hill's class is starting the unit It's Alive. Tori Cardiff's birthday was on Monday, April 15. This week Mr. Parks' class was making a story about a monkey and alligator in writing. Last Wednesday, Mrs. Hemingway had a new baby girl, Chloe. This past week, her class went to Slice of Huron in Seaforth with their new teacher, Mrs. McKeon. Swimming at the new indoor pool in Wingham has been the Grade 4s highlight for the last couple weeks. Mrs. Murray's Grade 4s have taken up dancing again. Their dances include polka, waltz and square dancing. Don't think that they have start raking I thought to myself "Now that's great!" The tlowerbed is somewhat of a community project initiated, I believe, by Isobel Pearson. I have seen many ladies tending to and donating perennials for the garden. Thanks again Charlene for giving it a spring clean up I would also like to thank Dennis Schul for contributing his time, dismantling the boards from the Ethel skating rink. I was determined to get those boards down thisi, particular Wednesday morning. In the time I was there my infant daughter rarely stopped crying, my youngest son ventured off to check out the beautiful cow on the Schlumpf lawn (imbeknownst to me) and both the rechargeable batteries all fun and no work though. they have also just written a social studies test on the province Saskatchewan. In Mr. Walker's Grade 4/5 class, the kids are playing dice games in math. On Tuesday, April 16, Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 went to see the K-W Symphony at the Centre of the Square. Paige Keifer says "It was really cool." Kalem Hammermuler concurs, reporting, "It was really good, really, really good!" The class is excited about learning how' to write in Greek. In art, they are making shadow pictures of when the sun sets. The Grade 6s have been solving algebra problems. They are finding mystery numbers and solving algebra equations. On Thursday morning, students attended a workshop entitled The Great Circle of Life at Brussels Public School. Aboriginal artist Shannon Thunderbird conducted this interactive workshop which focused on the theme Understanding Human Diversity. The students really enjoyed the native stories told by Ms. Thunderbird. This was sponsored by the Avon Maitland Foundation for Enriching Education and the Mary Kuepfer Trust Fund. On Friday, Harvey Clarke was back in the Grade 6 classroom to assist students with the square dance they are preparing for the upcoming performance of the musical Old MacDonald Had a Farm. This week, Mr. Clarke brought along some old neckties for the girls who are for the cordless drill drained! I herded everyone back home for lunch, battery recharging and a refill of sanity but, alas, I never made it back to thoseboards! As I passed the fireball on my way to a meeting in Brussels later that day-there was Mr. Schul stacking the last of the boards! Ah, my heart did sing at the sight! Hearfelt thanks to you both. Girl Guides and Pathfinders were out selling cookies to Ethel residents on Wednesday. Janet Mitchell, one of the area leaders, mentioned that all told we purchased about five cases of cookies (that's about 60 boxes!). Anyone wanting -more cookies can .get in touch with their neighbourhood Girl Guide or Pathfinder. The Grey Twp. firefighters dancing as gentlemen. Having these girls wear ties cut down a bit of confusion. Last Friday, there were eight tables in play at the euchre party held at the Cranbrook Hall hosted by Graeme, Mary and Ken MacDonald. Scores were as follows: high lady, Linda Stevens; high man,- Tom Stevens; low lady, Velma Sleightholm; low man, Stewart Musgrove; most lone hands, Helen Gallop, Eileen Mann; travelling lone hand, Isabelle Craig; tally cards, Adrian Verstoep, Viola Adams, Lloyd Weber, Isabelle Bremner, Marion Harrison, Dorothy Dilworth, Brenda Perrie, and A. Sleightholm; 50/50, Eleanor Stevenson. The next euchre party at the Cranbrook Hall will be held on May 3 at 8 p.m. received the much anticipated extrication equipment this past week and spent some time testing it out on Saturday. I have wanted for some time to mention about a story we read to our children. It's about a wonderful farmer by the name of Jeremiah who can do most anything - whittle sacks, mend fences, call birds and whip up the best buttermilk pancakes in the county. He has twinkling eyes and shimmery silver hair. One day Jeremiah told his wife that he can do all these things but he really wants to learn to read. "So learn", she said. And Jeremiah did. As this is a community column I would like to explain that within our communities are people who assist adults with reading, writing and math skills through organizations like the Avon Maitland School Board's Literacy/Numeracy project. (482-7948). Sometimes a goal seems so out of reach until we realize our friends, neighbours and communities members are doing it also. I have the great privilege of working with a woman whose goal is to better her reading and writing skills. We meet once or twice a week, wherever is convenient. She is just like any of us - a wife, mother and grandmother. She doesn't look particularly different and nothing about her stands her apart in a crowd. I am honoured to learn from her about strength, perseverance and personal goals. Perhaps you might be reading this aloud to, or know of a "Jeremiah", in our community. Pass it on. Have a great week!
