Hullett students
participate in
Remembrance service
Jay Campbell of the New PL took
the time on Nov. 11 to track weather
statistics for Remembrance Day. He
discovered 82 per cent of the time
that day has been grey, rainy and
generally unpleasant
Nov. 11, 2003 was no exception.
Consequently, Hullett Central
Public School held its annual
Remembrance Day service in the
school auditorium. A handful of
parents and community persons
used this venue as their time for
remembering.
Teacher Nancy Pickell oversees
the planning, etc. for the service
each year. Members of the student
council, Katie McClinchey, Rachel
Snell, Kyle Middegaal, Brandon
Gibson, Geof Gibson, Shawn
Merner, and Kendra Falconer
conducted the service and laid each
class’s wreath. The wreaths laid
alongside the white cross were co
operative efforts of each class.
Rev. Pat Cook of Londesborough
United Church presented a
Remembrance Day message based
on Matthew 5: 9 “Blessed are the
peacemakers for they shall be called
the children of God.”
She told the children facts about
how the poppy was adopted as the
symbol of remembrance. The funds
from the poppy remembrance
campaign conducted each year by
the Canadian Legion are used to
help those in need in each
community. The pupils are
encouraged to remember the history
and heritage of freedom and the
sacrifice of men and women for
peace.
Principal Mrs. Tebbutt reminded
the boys and girls that Hullett’s
encouragement of “peaceful
practices for peaceful' solutions”
reflects the line from the hymn, Let
There Be Peace on Earth. The
Kindergarten poem Poppy, Poppy,
spoke of how children loving each
other and shewing kindness results
in peace amongst themselves.
Grade 1/2 recited a poem titled
Little Poppy. The theme of the poem
was that “I wear a poppy to
remember those who fought for
me.”
The wish offered by Grade 2/3
was that the sky would always be
blue with peace overflowing.
Carefree, a poem recited by groups
of Grade 4/5 pupils compared their
worry-free lives to those families
with members at war.
Grade 5/6 exhibited the
Remembrance Day posters they had
drawn and four pupils read their
original poems. Four girls from
Grade 6/7 read poems written from
the perspective of soldiers. The
Grade 8 pupils used the letters of
Remembrance Day to voice their
thoughts about the wars and its
effects on family and country.
One line which stood out for me
was “remember those who did not
get a chance at tomorrow.”
Setting the Canadian flag in its
standard at the beginning of the
service was retired Canadian Armed
Forces soldier, Dave Clark. David
and his family now reside in the
Auburn area.
In full dress uniform that day for
the benefit of the young folk, he
explained that he had served in
various artillery units mostly as a
peacekeeping soldier in Europe.
Cyprus, Norway and Canada.
Currently he is a security guard at
St. Anne’s High School in Clinton.

as they settled in for worship was
Emily Allen at the piano offering
preludes. She was the first of several
young folk who will be taking part in
upcoming services, encouraged by
organist Barb Bosman.
There will be practice for White
Gift service during Sunday school
next Sunday, Nov. 23.
New life,
New Life was the title for Rev. Pat
Cook’s message at Londesborough
United Church on Sunday, Nov. 16.
In the responsive Psalm 16, David
acknowledges that in God is fullness
of joy. Mark 13: 1-8 records a
private conversation between Jesus
and four of His disciples about signs *
of the end of the world.
As a special treat for congregants
