Heidi Martin has left the school to work at Huron Centennial Public School, where she is teaching the Grade 3/4 class. Teachers Jenn Regier and Robyn Car- nochan are off on maternity leave, while Fanny Geleyrise and Michelle Meikle have also moved to new schools. Construction is still ongoing as stu- dents at SPS begin the school year this month, as a new gym floor is being in- stalled. "We were originally expecting it to be finished by September, but now it prob- ably won't be completed until October," says SPS principal Cheryl Peach. Other changes at the school include the French classroom being converted into a Best Start classroom. The Before and After School Day Care program will now run out of SPS. St. James School is also welcoming a handful of new teachers this year. Sarah Noakes will be partially tak- ing over the kindergarten class, filling in for Karen Kramers, who is off on ma- ternity leave. Noakes will teach the class half of the time, while Jenny Ritesma will teach the class the remainder of the time. Ritesma is also teaching the Grade 5/6 class this year. Jennifer Schoonderwoerd is a new re- source teacher at the school, who will also be in the Grade 3 classroom. Angela Carter, the former resource teacher, is now teaching Grade 7/8. Students also have a different school day schedule this year. The final recess will occur much later in the day, from 3:05 p.m. to 3:20 p.m., with school being dismissed at 3:25 p.m. Principal Joanne Lombardi says en- rolment is steady, with about 188 stu- dents attending this year. "We're excited," she says. "We gradu- ated 29 students last year, but we have a whopping 22 junior kindergarteners coming in." At Huron Centennial Public School, students are welcoming a new princi- pal and vice principal, along with a few new teachers. New principal Deb Johnson, who spent last year teaching in Goderich, is taking over the role from former prin- cipal Deb Gill, who is now principal at Goderich Public School. Last year's vice principal Marie Mitchell has left the school and has been replaced by Kerry Carlyle. New teacher Ian Dekker will be fill- ing in for Julie Knoblauch-Heimrichin the Grade 6/7 class as she's off on ma- ternity leave and Lisa Blurnhagen is filling in for Sonia Brady as a special education resource teacher, during her maternity leave. At St. Columban School, principal Judy Merkel and the rest of the staff are welcoming Jacquie Timmermans as the new Grade 5/6 teacher and Ja- net Thomson as a new educational as- sistant. St. Patrick's. School in Dublin is wel- coming Hope Shantz as the new kin- dergarten teacher, who is filling in for Rosa Ort, who is on maternity leave. 1 LAND EXCHANGE LTD., BROKERAGE independently owned and operated 8 Main St., Seaforth (24 HR Paging) www.remaxlandexchange.ca Phone: (519) 527-1577 Fax: (519) 527-1585 OPEN HOUSE cic,<<"'.14 THURSDAY SEPT. 3RD 6:307:30 PM 21 LOUISA ST., SEAFORTH MLS#090671 $101.000 JrGoLF COURSE CARNOCHAN ST.
