OSAID students
plan awareness events
Parents' night was a great
success, with a good turnout
on Monday night.
l'he.week was busy with
soccer teams coming to St.
Anne's and the elementary
school basketball tournament
for two days which brought a
lot of excited young athletes
to our school, from our
elementary schools. It's great
to see so many enthusiastic
teams challenging each other
in a gymnasium where one
day many will play as athletes
from St. Anne's. It's good to
see older students who are in
grade 10 or 11 showing their
younger brothers or sisters
around after a game.
The students involved in
OSAID (Ontario Students
Against- Impaired Driving)
have been busy getting ready
for the OSAID Awareness
Week. There are daily events
planned for the week from
May 11 to 15. There will be
guest speakers at the school, a
contest for the best non-
alcoholic beverage, a BYOB
day "Bring Your Own
Banana" when students will
buy banana splits that they
help make themselves as a
fundraiser. Finally, a Kiss the
Pig Contest will be held.
Some lucky staff member will
be chosen to kiss the
pig...students and staff will
donate money and the teacher
who raises the most money
will be the one chosen to kiss
the pig.
The first event is this
Saturday. There will be a car
wash at St. Annc's from 9:00
till 2:30 p.m. So come out and
get your car washed and
support a great cause. Hats off
to Ms. Hamilton, a
teacher/advisor who has
worked with OSAID since it
started at St. Anne's
Property stolen
Property was stolen from
several vehicles, many left
unlocked, in Seaforth between
April 24 and April 27.
The first report came from
East William Street where
cigarettes and some candy
were taken.
A 100 amp Clarion

speakers and two MTX road
thunders sub woofers were
taken out of a 1986 Buick
Regal left unlocked on

It's interesting to start a new
school and as it grows watch
things evolve. Students'
efforts in Driver Education
are starting to pay off as more
and more of our students get
their driver's license. In our
first year only a small staff
drove to the school. Staff
were encouraged to park at
the front so others would
know that someone was at
work. Now many staff park in
our back lot and soon I am
sure, parking will be at a
premium as students drive
rather than take the bus to
school.
It is important that these two
issues be related, for with the
freedom to drive the family
car comes the responsibility to
drive free of any impairment.
Families need to be reminded
how important this issue is
and whenever possible
support groups such as
OSAID who use positive peer
pressure to remind students
and parents, brothers and
sisters, and friends how vital
this issue is.
Come out this Saturday to
support the work of OSAID
and leave with a car cleaned
by a great bunch of students.
Take the opportunity next
week to begin a dialogue with
your son or daughter about
the issue of impaired driving.
Parents arc reminded of the
School Advisory Council
meeting Tucsday at 5:30 p.m.
The meetings arc open and
take place in the Chapel
meeting arca off the lobby of
the school.
