PAGE 6. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2006.
For their last gathering before a
summer break, the Londesborough
Happy Gang Seniors changed their
format. On Wednesday, June 28,
they met at the Londesborough
Community Hall at 6 p.m. and
instead of potluck, they treated
themselves to Dixie Lee chicken and
School is out for another year and
the young folk have many plans for
the lazy days of summer. However
the month of June brought varied
and interesting activities for
everyone at Hullett school. School
news will be a big part of this
column in the coming weeks.
The June 5 Winit assembly
brought acknowledgment to pupils
for the virtue in May of fairness. The
sheet put up for noting fairness had
many notes about children who
when playing either shared their toys
and the monkey bars or the sandbox
space or took turns on the swings.
They recognized that fairness means
playing by the established rules and
not changing them in the midst of
the game and that teams need to be
equal.
Having enough for everyone and
having all pieces of cake the same
size is not only fair but polite. One
girl was so fair she even shared her
markers with everyone.
Virtues such as fairness don't
necessarily ensure there are never
any squabbles but form the
background for reminders and
discussion. A virtue such as fairness
involves interactions with others
whereas the virtue for June, courage,
is a personal growth issue. A
salads — a nice change for the
cooks.
Keith and Phyllis Tyndall reported
on attending the Hullett Grade 8
graduation night and, on behalf of
the seniors group, presenting the
awards to Sheldon Reid and Amber
Walton for history and French
achievements respectively.
Mike Powell of London was the
guest speaker on Wednesday
evening. Mike works in Equador and
gave a very interesting talk on that
country, its people and the
developments taking; place there.
He stated that Ecuador is a
very beautiful country with a very
low crime rate. Moreover it is
not yet a popular tourist destina-
tion.
kindergarten pupil summoned up her
courage during this last month of
classes to cross the monkey bars all
by herself for the first time. Bravo!
Special class activities are normal
for June and Emily Allen of Grade 7
files this report for one of those.
"On Thursday, June 15, Grades 5,
6 and 7 went to see a Blue Jays
game. The Jays played the Baltimore
Orioles that day at the Rogers Centre
in Toronto. And they beat the Orioles
4-2. Although we were in the
nosebleed section it was still a, good
bird's eye view. A few Hullett kids
were seen briefly on the jumbotron.
It was a long way there and back,
so we stopped each way at
McDonalds. Overall it was a great
day and we thank Mr. Caldwell for
organizing the trip."
Hullett pupils displayed their
athleticism in two track and field
meets following their in-school
meet. On Wednesday, June 7 several
attended the regional meet in
Seaforth.
Rodney Rozendal competed in
three jumping events in the PeeWee
group. Ray Huether and Kelly
Cooke represented Hullett in the
Junior division. Ray, who is a runner,
was first overall for the boys that day
for that division.
The Londesborough seniors group
is part of the District made up of the
Counties of Huron, Perth and
Lambton. During the recent seniors'
games, Londesborough won the C
championship for groups of its size
for points awarded to participants.
The clubs receive a point for each
participant in an activity.
Plus Londesborough gained 10
points for its winning slopitch ball
team and Len and Betty
Archambault earned three points for
placing third in the solo tournament.
Len presented the Happy Gang
group with their plaque at the
Wednesday meeting. It will hang in
the hall for the coming year.
The seniors will have .their usual
card parties on the second Friday of
Intermediate boys competing for
Hullett were Brent Drost, William
Fleming and Brendan Boven.
Brendan was second overall at day's
end. Vanessa Wilts, Heather Gibson
and Ali Snell competed in the
Intermediate girls group. Finishing
second overall in the division was
Heather.
Girls representing their school in
the Senior division were Danielle
Bean, Marsha Rozendal and Robyn
Kassies. Danielle Bean was declared
the winner in that group.
The Avon-Maitland district meet
was held in Stratford on June 20.
This meet brought stiffer
competition. Hullett athletes who
placed in the top five in individual
events were Heather Gibson,
William Fleming, Vanessa Wilts,
Brendan Boven, Brent Drost,
Danielle Bean and Marsha
Rozendal. Congratulations to all
these young folk.
Hullett was one of a number of
schools in the area who participated
in the Hair's the Challenge on June
29. Sponsored by the parent council
and for the benefit of the Canadian
Cancer Society, pupils and families
were encouraged to collect sponsors
to have their hair cut. Any ponytail at
least eight inches in length can be
July and August.
There are no Sunday services at
Londesborough United until the end
of July.
On Saturday, July 22 the
Fellowship Bible Chapel invites you
to a gospel music evening from 6:30
to 8:30 p.m.
And what would a summer be
without a drive-in movie?
Londesborough United is holding
two outdoor movie nights. The first
movie will be shown at dusk on
Friday, July 14 at the home of Rick
and Brenda Konarski. The movie is
free but there will be a charge for
refreshments. You can't view a
movie without popcorn. Bring a
lawn chair or a blanket in case you
want to sit out.
used for making wigs for cancer
patients. Five local hairdressers,
including Londesborough's own
Janet Scrimgeour, were on hand to
cut off those ponytails and give buzz
cuts.
Tracy Thompson, a cancer
survivor and supply teacher in area
schools, was on hand to support
everyone and when the final bell
rang she, too, was bald.
One parent, Paul Doak, and
teacher, Craig Caldwell, also have
cool heads for the warmth of
summer. Thirty-four children from
Hullett finished the year with altered
hairstyles all for a great cause. Other
pluses for the event were making the
young folk aware of a dreadful
disease and showing them how a
little fun can make a difference.
June a busy month for students
