week.
Beatrice Noel, the English teacher
from France, and three of her stu

Millot and Amandine Lengevin,
came from France to Brussels on
April 28 and left on May 8.
Priska Menzi, Brussels Public
School’s French teacher, and stu

and Emily Cardiff went to France in
March for 10 days.
Before coming to Canada, the
French students studied the geogra

they return they will present a scrap
book of their trip to the rest of the
class. The Canadian students are
doing the same thing.
While in Canada everyone visited
several places, Kitchener-Waterloo,
Niagara Falls and Toronto for a base
ball game in the SkyDome.

Please join us in celebrating at
an Open Reception
9 p.m. at
BMG Community Centre.
At the Second Excellence in
Education Awards Banquet, spon
sored by Ontario Secondary Schools
Teachers’ Federation District 8 and
the Avon Maitland District School
Board, held at the Mitchell
Community Centre May 3, Linda
Campbell, a teacher at F. E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham, was
recognized for her exceptional
involvement in the Marion Drysdale
Contest.
The Marion Drysdale Contest is a
writing and creative arts competition
which is open to all public secondary
school students in Ontario. High
school students are judged at the
local District level and the District
winners are forwarded to a Regional
round of adjudication. The Regional
winners are submitted to a distin
guished adjudication team in Toronto
where Provincial winners in the nine
categories are chosen.
Since the beginning of the former
Huron District 45 OSSTF involve
ment in the Drysdale Contest in
1994, Ms. Campbell has been a ded
icated supporter of the Drysdale
Contest. Not only has she encour
aged her students individually to
enter the contest but she has encour
aged fellow teachers to get their stu
dents involved.
The results of her efforts have been
spectacular. Madill’s record of
achievement is without equal: 1994 -
three District winners; 1995 - four
District winners; 1996 - four District
winners, three of whom were
Regional winners; 1997 - two
District winners, one of whom went
on to be a Regional and Provincial
winner (David Morley); 1998 - three
District winners, two of whom were
Regional winners, one of whom was
a Provincial winner (Andy Shaw);
1999 - two District winners, one of
whom was Regional and Provincial
winner (Brad Wright); and, 2000 -
one District winner.
The Madill record of achievement
is exceptional and due largely to the
dedication of Linda Campbell. We,
of the Avon Maitland District School
Board, teachers, educational work
ers, and administrators, join in salut
ing Linda Campbell.
