Congratulations to the students of
Blyth Public School in raising
$2,600 for Operation: Kids Who
Care. The money raised will go to
the Red Cross to help the tsunami
survivors.
We are sorry to hear that Doris
Hicks is a patient in Clinton
hospital. Also Eileen Haggitt is a
patient in Clinton hospital. We wish
them both a speedy recovery and
hope they will soon be back
home.
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Jan. 16 were Lavem and
Joan Clark. Ushers were Brenda
Brooks, Sharon Bromley, Joan and
Lavern Clark. Guest musician was
Margaret Kai.
The children’s hymn was Para,
Para, Pitter Pat.
Rev. Eugen Bannerman told the
children the story of a Scottish
firefighter who tied his family up in
a palm tree and saved them from the
tsunami.
The lectionary reading was from
Isaiah 49: 1-7 and Psalm 40 was
read responsively.
Rev. Bannerman’s message to the
adults was, Lessons from the
Tsunami. Terrible things can happen
to people through no fault of their
own. In spite of all the technology
humans cannot control natural
disasters. People can work together
to clean up the tragedy and help
others try and get back to a life that
is as normal as it can be, just as
everyone has worked together to
help the people in South Asia.
The Sunday school is collecting
dimes to be given to UNICEF
to help the children and their
families who are survivors of the
tsunami.
Kids raise
$2,600
Operation: Kids Who Care raised
over $2,600 in one week at Blyth
Public School. Money raised will be
donated to the Canadian Red Cross
in support of the Tsunami Relief
Project in Asia.
The first day back to school after
the Christmas holiday, BPS student
council challenged each Blyth
Public School student to raise a
minimum of $5 in support of
Operation: Kids Who Care. The
plan was simple: if every student
participated, BPS would raise over
$1,000.
Student council was encouraged
by the generous response of
students and was pleasantly
surprised by the support of the
families of BPS students as well as
local businesses who donated to the
creative fundraiser.
Beyond Blyth, the school
challenged all Avon-Maitland
schools to participate in
OPERATION “KIDS WHO
CARE”. Information was also sent
to other schools in Ontario and the
U.S.
All the money raised will be
donated to the Canadian Red Cross.
Red Cross is one of the leading
relief agencies in the world and is
one of the co-ordinators of the
Tsunami Relief Project. Money will
be used for water, food, shelter and
medical supplies.
