Catch the action! Precious Blood gears up for Christmas By Laura Cook and Jenaler Grenier EXETER - December has been a month of finishing up things be- fore the Christmas holidays. The school has been celebrating Ad- vent in preparation for the coming of Jesus. Each week we light a candle, say the Advent prayer and sing a song to help; prepare our hearts. On Tuesday December 1, we had the parent/teacher interviews that let parents know how their child is doing in school. On Wednesday December 7. there was a parent meeting at South Huron District High School to inform the about the destream- ing program for grade nine stu- dents that will take place in Sep- tember 1993. On Thursday December 3, both the boys and girls volleyball teams participated in the zone vol- leyball tournament against Mt. Carmel and St. Boniface. All the teams put in a great effort and both Mt. Carmel teams won the tournament. On Friday December 4, grades 1-3 took a trip to the Lambton Heritage Museum. They went to learn more about pioneers and how they spend Christmas. Some of the things they saw were: how the pio- neers decorated their houses and Christmas trees, they experienced a wagon ride where they toured around the museum and sang Christmas carols. They also went to the toy shop and saw many dif- ferent wooden toys. On Monday December 14, we had our annual Christmas concert at 7 p.m. Grades kindergarten to four sang some Christmas songs and some grades put on plays. The choir also sang two Christmas songs. Principal Margaret Nelson was awarded a plaque from the PTA for all of her time and dedication to the school, she will be leaving our school to sten a new role in January 1993 as Superintendent of Education of Simcoe County in Barrie. We would liketo congratu- late Mrs. Nelson on her promotion, but will miss her a great deal. Mr. MCQuiallan will be replacing her as principal starting in January. On December 15, the grades 1-6 students went to Usborne Central School to see a performance of the Nutcracker. The staff and students of Pre- cious Blood School would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. yolunteerjudges Dolores lepton Oett), Trudy`Chaffe and Melva Ecker toured the Exeter Villa Friday mornkkg,`judging: the outcome of the: door decorating contest held for villa staff, residents and families in both the nursing home and retirement home wings of the building.

Funding for the $43.000 piece of equipment will go through the University Hospital Foundation . The video kerato- scope is used to diagnose and treat corneal disease. A video keratoscope is a com- puter connected to a camera and projection system that displays a ring-like map of the surface of the cornea. The computer gives a col- oured digital read-out of the curva- ture of the cornea which enables ophthalmologists to evaluate the extent of eye disease with tremen- dous efficiency. The video kerato- scope is an effective tool for both - pre- and post -corneal transplanta- tion and in following patients that may ultimately require a full cor- neal graft. "We are very grateful to the Li- ons' Foundation for their generous donation. The keratoscope will help us remain on the leading edge of treating corneal disease and will be an invaluable tool for our re- search activities," comments Uni- versity Hospital ophthalmologist Bruce Nichols. More than 50 Lions clubs from across southwestern Ontario pledged to cover the cost of the video keratoschope through the Li- ons Sight Conservation Founda- tion. University Hospital is the fust benefactor of the Foundation's fundraising efforts. With Special Thanks ...for your patronage and good will, we wish you all a very happy holiday.
