During the first Excellence in Education awards banquet, five students, two teachers and one community recipient from each school received awards. The awards were provided jointly by the Huron Board of Education and District 45 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation. The Federation at the provincial level was represented by vice-president Jim Head and regional representative Sue Boworskl. The first three goals of the program include reinforcing the pride and self-esteem of Huron teachers in their own skills, profession and what they offer students; to build an understanding and appreciation of the excellence of Huron schools and narrow the gap between the public's misconception and the realities of the excellence of the Public Secondary system. The final two are promotion of community awareness of the scope and the role of Public Secondary Education and the teacher in the school and community and to actively involve the community in the Public Secondary System. Huron Board of Education chairman Art Clarke said his board was behind the program. He continued, "It's a characteristic of Canadians not to honor excellence. We seem to revel in mediocrity. We hope affairs of this kind will raise the level of knowledge of the community about education and make people aware of what educators are doing." Students honored were Todd James, Jane Papple and Lisa Preszcator, Seaforth; Rob Gallaher, Kim Gibson, Charlene Stevenson, Julie Stewart and Eric Versteeg, F. E. Madill in Wingham; Kendra Arthur, Irene Brand, Angela Fleming, Lee O'Rourke and .Murray Rundle, South Huron, Exeter; Kim Cook, Steve Hearn Rhonda Lobb, Su Su Myint and Lisa Watt, Central Huron in Clinton; Dave Almasi, Melody Falconer, Julie Myers, Sharon Rahbek and Christine Stapleton of Goderich Collegiate.

Program urges caution for kids "Children Take Care," the name given a pilot program taught to Seaforth Public School students this year, has a two -fold meaning. The program, which is designed to prepare young children to handle potentially dangerous situations, stresses not only that children must use caution when dealing with unfamiliar experiences, but also that they require care from their parents in facing these situations. A co-operative venture between the school and the OPP community relations depart- ment, the program gives children useful information about such potential dangers -as , child abuse, automobile accidents and ' others. In a departure from conventional teaching, parents were r'nvited to attend parts of the course with their children, in order to better understand the aims of the program. "it's a new and very up-to-date idea," said SPS Principal Gary Jewitt. Course instructors use lectures, discus- sions, projects and video presentations to get their message across, and, Mr. Jewitt points n In an informative and out. it is non-jud;e 'en t1Jmanner. "We st vent to reinforce the awareness there s ail ut these elements within our socie an 1 at children must take care," he said. The final session of the two-week program, which involved students in Grades 5 to 8. featured a wrap-up video eresentation summarizing the course matenal. Parents were also invited to this session on May 2. CHILDREN TAKE CARE — A new program at Seaforth Public School, Children Take Care Is designed to Increase students awareness and ability to handle potentially dan9erous situations. Here, SPS Principal Gary Jewitt Introduces a video presentation summarizing the course to a group of students. Raft Is photo The show included Interviews with parents who had lost children in automobile acci- dents, as well as children who had lost friends this way. Interviews with a convicted child molester, and also safety tips and advice for both children and parents made up part of the presentation. Despite the sensitive subject matter, the program is designed so as not to put undue stress on. or frighten, the students. said Mr. Jewitt. "To be aware is better than not to be aware. This program is not designed to put a whole lot of fears into your minds. We just want to make sure you're aware of potential situations." Mr. Jewitt told the students after viewing the show. "Don't be afraid to discuss any of these issues with yourparents. orwith a teacher, or myself." he added.
