For two weeks they've been work- ing extremely hard on vowels, centimetres and writing skills with reminders and capitals, periods and question marks. Whew! As a reward, they've had the corn- ' puter for a visitor to print a riddle book for their friends in Hinton. They also had fun making books with their reading buddies about their shared showman making. Carrie Meriam and Jenny Moir have been their "Special Me" this week.

While that may sound normal, the Catholic school board did cut back the number of professional development (PD) days to eight for the current school year. Both the Huron County and Perth County boards' of education have nine professional development days per school year. Last year, the Catholic school board rolled 53 Downie St., Stratford back one PD day because it felt the students needed more instruction time. This year, Mount Carmel principal Laurie Kraftcheck, chairman of the PD committee, presented an outline on what will be done. on next year's PD days. • Five will be in -school and will deal with the planning of the 'school year, parent in- terviews or reviewing the past school year. Three of the remaining four days will deal with reading skills. The one day left will focus on the prevention of sexual abuse. OMEI HING- BEAUTIFUL„ IS ABOUT TO •HAPPEN...
