Times-Advocate, 1987-11-04, Page 23,coniUpbeat..."' f Our school objectives this year reflect system priorities in implemen- ting new curriculums, integrating computers into curriculum, im- plementing a new library program and developing programs which foster Catholic values and enhance student self worth. Our P.T.A. has organized a milk and juice program. Milk and apple juice will be offered to any student who wishes to order it for lunch. An excellent way to promote good nutri- tion. Patriotism will also be promoted with the erection of a new flag pole at the front of our school. Our new library will be given a boost with an annual contribution towards the pur- chase of books and periodicals. Thanks again to our P.T.A. Canadian artists such as mime ar- tist David Lapglois, and the inner Stage Theatre players have workshopped and entertained our students. We appreciate our adult volunteers who are working with students and helping in the library. Thank you to Sister Mary Margaret, Mrs. Shelly Hoffman, Mrs. Lorraine Regier, Mrs. Rose Regier, Mrs. Alida Rau, Mrs. Flo Murray and Mrs. M. Porter. Please call the principal if you wish to volunteer. We need you! Kindergarten — Mrs. Linda Kisiner October arrived with turkeys and Thanksgiving activities. The follow- ing week witches, goblins, jack -o - lanterns and spiders began creeping • into the classroom. The children have been experimenting with written language on their journals. Anticipa- tion of Hallowe'en night is evident in journal illustrations and stories. The children have also started a personal collection of poems, rhymes and fingerplays for their 'reading' pleasure. Grade one - Mrs. Sharon O'Toole Congratulations to Kim Keller, grade one student of the month.Kim isalways courteous, helpful. and determined in her work. For Hallowe'en the class co-operated to write an "Alphabet of Spooks" book. They enjoyed creating a variety of weird and wonderful characters to decorate home and school. The class will be visiting the Zurich Public Library on November 3 and December 2 will join the kindergarten class to experience "Christmas Long Ago" at the Lambton Museum. Grades two -three Sr. Maureen O'Reilly This month has been an exciting learning environment as themes of Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en and fall merge together in an integrated Fashion. A trip to Evans Farms forms a highlight to these units in which the Liman Revival Pieter Schinkleshoek, assistant pastor, led the worship service Sun- day morning. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Psalm 119:139. What is zeal? It is a fervant desire to serve God. A Christian can be zealous for God without being rude or doing it the wrong way. But people will misunderstand you, be turned off, and be opposed to your witness. Because of this some Christians are deterred from being zealous. A per- son can be zealous for the wrong thing and idea. There are false cults who spend hours trying to promote their cause. Even the devil is dedicated to sending people to hell. People make the mistake of letting the devil away with it. There is a cost of being zealous for God, but it is worth it. Revelation 3:14-19 tells of a lukewarm comfor- table church Jesus rebukes. The an- tidote for this is to be zealous for the Lord. Communion was served after the service. Sunday evening Rev. Roger.Mason conducted the service. Pieter Schinkleshoek stated Satan is not dead. From Ephesians 6:10-18 he said we can overcome Satan. Satan is giv- ing Christians a battle today. Satan even came after Jesus with tempta- tion of "If You are the Son of God." In Genesis 3:5 Satan tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit by Tying to her. He does the same today in tempta- tions of "it's all right." In Matthew 4:6 we read Satan uses scripture to test Jesus. Sunday November 8, Pieter Schkinkleshoek will be ministering in both services. December 6 - Christmas Concert. November 14 - Canadian Bible Society film • Winter is Past. .t✓ children sing all their Chime-lgsongs, choose their own pumpkins as well as experience the rural beauty of the autumn season. A Hallowe'en afternoon on Friday, October 30 will be a further language experience as we carve the classroom pumpkin, clean and roast the pum- pkin seeds, pop popcorn and par- ticipate in events planned by the stu- dent council. All in all, the story writingemerging from the Hallowe'en unit has been the best yet. riences, stories. books, activitiesLots related to the theme and pupil enthusiasm. (:rade three - Mrs. Bette Bedard, In Math we have been doing addi- tion and subraction. We have also been learning about the Family of F'acts. This month we have started centres. Some of them are Lego, Plasticene, reading, sandbox and cards. We do this every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:30. We enjoy our centre work. Congratula- tions to Nicole Masse, our student of the month! Grade four - Miss Ruth Ryan A new social and environmental studies unit about "The Community" has been initiated. We are all now awaiting the opportunity to do a walk- ing tour of Zurich in order to ex- perience first-hand some mapping skills. " We will soon be starting a new unit in Science called "Sound". Therewill be- a greater level of "sound" in the classroom as we make homemade in- struments. We.will then integratethis experience into our music program. Our congratulations go out to those boys and girls in grade four who par- ticipated in cross-country. You did well and we are proud of you! Grade -five -six - Mrs. F'ran Craig Our journey trip to London was an educational experience long to be remembered. The tour of St. Peter's Basilica was interesting and breath- taking - especially climbing the 144 steps to the bell towers' McDonald's was much more satis- fying then our routine lunch of sand- wiches and the play "Dracula" was an excellent theatrical presentation of .the legendary monster. For our next project. we have made contact with two other schools to set up a pen -pal connection. One school is in Strattord and the other school is in Scarborough. This is a very useful means of developing writing skills with a purpose. Besides, getting let- ters is always fun! Grade six -seven - Mrs. Marg Suplat During the past month the class has enjoyed their studies using the London Free Press. The school choir has been formed and is practising for their part in the school opening pro- gramme on November 5. In French the students have shown their skill with the language by performing skits on restaurant and supermarket themes. The grades sevens are presenting skits demonstrating the use of the telephone this week. We've done many activities with the Hallowe'en theme. Our favourite is the fabric sculptures of characters that now haunt our halls. We welcome and appreciate the assistance of parent volunteers.

By Jack Riddell Constituent 'urrently receiving Workers' C enation benefits should be aware of a survey which the Board will be conducting by telephone during the last part of October and the beginning of November. In an attempt to determine workers' satisfaction with the various services provided to them by the Board, 1100 persons will be contacted by a survey firm with questions focussing on issues such as contacts with the Board at various stages of their claim, accessibility of Board personnel, adequacy of and satisfaca- tion with information and services provided. Also included will be basic information on employment status, language, and current income. Should you be contacted, I would encourage you to participate in order to assist the Board in improving and enhancing their services to injured workers. However, those contacted are under no obligation to respond, and anyone with queries concerning the survey will be contacted by so- meone from the Board to answer their questions. New session begins November 3 The Legislature will resume sitting November 3 to begin the first session of the 34th Parliament. Lieutenant Governor Lincoln Alexander will 9acbi Pfitt9J Survey by telephone deliver the Speech from the Throne. Some of the priorities for the next session include auto insurance and conflict of interest legislation. In ad- dition, commitments made during the recent election will form the basis of government initiatives. Financial Protection Program for producers of processing potatoes I have just recently announced as Minister of Agriculture and Food, a new program designed to safeguard producers of processing potatoes from losses caused by bankruptcy of a processing company. The fund was launched with $25,000 and growers will contribute two cents per hun- dredweight of potatoes sold to- a licensed dealer or processor. In the event of default by a licensed pro- cessor, growers may claim for 90 per- cent of their losses against a fund built from producers' contributions. Financial protection programs already in place for grain corn, soy- beans, milk and cream, beef cattle, eggs and vegetables for processing have proven suceessful in reducing the number of dealer defaults and have helped increase the financial stability of the farm community A board made 'up of producers, dealers, processors and government representatives will administer the fund and determine the validity of claims for compensation. Approx- imately 110 Ontario potato producers supply potatoes to 30 Ontario processors. Grants to riding I was pleased to note recently the Township of Tuckersmith has receiv- ed a supplementary allocation of 815,000 from the Ministry of Transportation. The town of Seaforth has recently received the first payment of $16,910 on a total grant of 81,184,000 from the Ministry of the Environment for im- provements to the sanitary sewer and treatment works.

Two of them were retired 4-H leaders, Bonnie Hot - son and Ann Russell, and our third guest was Elizabeth Russell. a future member. The leaders were just as busy as we were, cutting out pictures for our books. After all the chaos was over with the -books, we sat down for our snack.
