Boniface School.
By Aimee Gelinas and Carla -Ase Ord
The. St. Boniface Student Council
held a "weird day" on Thursday,
November 20. - The students came
dressed in patterns, plaids and
anything else they could dream up.
But no one could ever dream up
what the schoolyard looks like at the
moment! Bulldozers and backhoes
have been "eating up" our former
parking lot for the past few weeks.
What they have been doing is digging
out a foundation for the new addition
St. Boniface Upbeat
being built to accommodate the new
pupils from Ecole Ste Marie. A war-
ning to all: Please keep away from
the construction site!
-Speaking of nails and "two-by-
fours", the Grade fours visited the
Zurich Wood Products on November-
12
ovember12 and inspected their products.
The Kindergartens also had their
share of inspecting to do, but none of
the Tasty-Nu's products tasted like
sawdust. Their taste buds were
delighted on November 17 and 24.
Mrs. Suplat's grade fives weren't
left out of the "eating act." On
November 25, the class joist didn't eat
the fudge at Mrs. Suplat's; they had
to make it as well! Depending on how
well the person could cook, it was
either a scrumptious or bitter-sweet
ending.
To wash this all down, the Grade
seven and eight class went to see first-
hand how Lake Huron's Water is pro-
cessed into clean drinking water on
Tuesday, November 25. •
After hearing about all thesetrips,
you might wonder it it's all fun and
games in school, not to fear - the
teachers have made sure that grades
six - eight will be very busy slaving
on models for history from the time
period of 1890.
We were very lucky to have a fie,
tional history children's author visit
our school. Mr. Bill Freeman was
originally from the London area. He
has written many books and a play
but specializes in historical fiction.
On Monday, November 24, we had
a visitor that represents a new energy
that will be used more in the future.

ciples of electricity.
A good-bye to Mrs. Coxon who left
on her maternity leave Friday,
November 21, and hello to Mrs. Smith
and Miss VandenBoomen who will
take over grades six -seven.
To end off, a note of appreciation to
Mrs. Suplat, Mr. Sharpe, the C.W.L.,
Father Mooney, Father. Bensette,
Father Morrissey and Father Pelta,
who made our Confirmation
( November 12) so special to each and
every person in the Confirmation
class.
This month has been a very busy
one for all of us at "St. B", and no
doubt the next month will be too. So
from the heavily, piled school desk
which also serves as a messy
newsdesk... soyanara, au revoir, dag,
arrivaderchi, happy trails to you. and
may the force by with you.
Congratulations to Mr. Dave
Durand on his election as chairman
of the Huron -Perth R.C.S.S. board.

-raiser, Jarrett Jeffery, was unable to
attend the roll -off with a total of

from 7-Up for a job well done.
Thank you to all the sponsors who
supported them. Additional thanks for
those who purchased some of our
almonds which are still available for
