Biddulph Cental busy
IDDULPH - The stu-
dents of Biddulph Central
have been very active
over the last while. The
halls have been filled with
the sounds of gymnastics
practices, talent show
rehearsals and track and
field sign ups as well as
regular classroom activi-
ties.
The school has once
again demonstrated its
generous nature when in
March it collected over
$500. for Bunny Bundle.
Classes chose a variety of
ways to raise these funds.
The smells of freshly
baked goods and hot pop-
corn permeated the halls
as students organized
their sales. Pennies were
collected and donated
throughout the whole
school as well as a few
rummage sales boosting
the total even more.
The Biddulph
Gymnastics Club has
always been a popular
extra -curricular activity
and once again this year
the numbers were high.
Approximately 60 flexible
and dedicated members
attended the annual meet
at the Lucan Arena. The
coaches were very
pleased with the excellent
small
