Hullett class visits Wonderland •
The last few days of the school
year are difficult for both the
teachers and the pupils to complete.
The teachers are hard pressed to
keep the attention of children who
are already looking forward to free
days in the sun and family activities.
Everyone at Hullett Central Public
School engaged in some special
events to combine learning of a
different sort and fun.
On Monday, primary pupils
attended the opening of the new
playground equipment at the ball
diamond giving them all the
opportunity to test the new setup as
well. That day the Grade 8 pupils
took their year-end class trip. Two
graduating girls, Kyle Middegaai
and Krista Rozendal, filed the
following report of the day.
“On June 27. the Grade 8s headed
to Toronto to visit Canada’s
Wonderland. Upon arrival, we went
on a ride that would get us all
warmed up for the day.
A few minutes later, and we were
ready to go on some fun and serious
rides. Some of us even had the
courage to ride the more intense
rides while some were satisfied to sit
on the sidelines and watch. There
were classmates who just wanted to
try out more and more rides.

the
The day was very hot but we all
seemed to find some water to cool
down in. Overall our day was great
and we all enjoyed being together.
We stopped at Kesley’s Family
Restaurant for supper. Our meals
were great and we had fun time.
Thanks to Mr. Drennan
planning this great class trip
us.”
On Tuesday morning, with
help of parents and senior pupils, the
kindergarten classes held a play day
on the area in front of the school. A
host of activities for this young
group included a fish pond and chalk
drawing.
That afternoon the hair razoring
hoe-down’ took place in the gym
Sponsored by the parent council,
more than a dozen pupils allowed
Jennifer Godfrey of Split Ends in
Clinton to restyle their locks. At
day’s end several girls had lost their
ponytails and a number of boys got
ready for hot summer days with a-
head shaving. All was for good
cause, “Locks for Love”.
Not only will the hair be used for
making wigs particularly for cancer
patients, but many students had
collected pledges. The Cancer
Society will receive $1,100 from this
fun event.

Marjorie Duizer. Cheryl Trewartha
and Catharine Allen lor the June 20
meeting of the Londesborough
UCW.
The chosen scripture was
story ol Christ saying "Let
children come unto Me...”
A humourous reading listed
help wanted requirements for a
mother at various stages of raising a
child from birth to adulthood. Evy
McDoriagh ol Goderich was the
evening’s guest speaker. She was
introduced by a co-worker,
Catharine Allen.
Evy is the manager for Huron
County Children’s Services and
spends her days overseeing a variety
of programs designed to ensure
preschoolers get the best start in life.
Evy and her family emigrated to
Canada from England and have
lived some 30 years in Goderich.
She was a part of the daycare system
in Goderich until 2002.
Prior to 2001. the government
dealt individually with daycares for
their funding and for the subsidies
for families using daycare. In 2002
the government switched their
procedures and decided to contract
these services through the county.
Ready for a change also. Evy
accepted this challenging position.
Since that time Children’s Services
has instituted 53 various programs
in the county. Evy gave some details
about a few of those services.
•Huron County began a program of
licensed home child care sites
having accepted 18 such centres to
date. There is now an inclusive
network of teachers to support
children needing help through the
special needs resources, in addition.
Children's Services offer a number
of parenting information and
support programs. The staff assists
young families who need subsidized
childcare, for they recognize many
families are stressed and stretched to
the limit.
The government introduced the
Early Years Program in 2002 a free
session for preschoolers. The first
centre for this program was in
Clinton, but Children’s Services
recognized the need for satellite
centres. The first such satellite
centre was at the Londesborough
United Church and it continues to be
an active centre. Parents bring their
children and stay to interact with
them in this most successful free
program. There are now 33 satellites
in Huron County held in municipal
buildings, libraries, schools and
churches.
A relatively short business
meeting followed. Several
upcoming dates of caterings and
presbytery events were mentioned.
Joan Whyte commented on her

I I he keynote speaker noted that
today’s world is too busy and
