The

Truth
New Teacher
By Stephanie Lentz
and John Ramirez
On September 8, the pupils of Grade 6
were greeted by a new teacher, Robert
Livermore. Mr. Yeats, who taught Grade 6
last year, knew Mr. Livermore from
teacher's college and high school.
After teaching at Grey Central for 18
years, Mr. Livermore decided he needed a
change, and because Mr. Yeats transferred
to Goderich, Mr. Livermore was able to
transfer to Blyth.
Mr. Livermore enjoys seeing children
progress and so he decided to be a teacher.
He lives just north of Clinton. He enjoys
teaching math and PE and also coaches and
umpires local sports teams. Mr. Livermore
hopes to spend the next several years at
Blyth Public School.

Mrs. Webster has been a librarian before,
and she has had .experience teaching
kindergarten for four years. For the last 15
years she has been a supply teacher in
several area schools.
She is pleased to be at Blyth Public School
because she knows several of the students
and teachers here and it isn't very far to
drive since she lives on a farm near Auburn
with her husband, Allan, and two children.
Mrs. Webster has made some changes in
the library and plans to get more books as
well.
She enjoys the students and the at-
mosphere in the school.
