It was necessary for her to cross the bridge in order to go to school. She was not particularly comfortable using the ham- mock bridge and often times would take the longer route via the side road instead. Not sure I would be comfortable on that hammock either. Hullett Central School has had a busy first month. The pupils attended the Blyth Steam Show the very first Friday of the fall term. They held their own Terry Fox run the following week. Last Thursday in conjunction with their annual Open House they held a 50th Anniversary Celebration of the opening of the school. It was a perfect night for the outdoor showing of the movie "Finding Dory". The number of pupils attend- ing Hullett this year is 287 which means the classes and halls are full to capacity with students, activity and noise. I have been trying, somewhat unsuccess- fully, to ignore the fact that we are nearing the end of Septem- ber and have begun the fall sea- son in earnest; that the tress are turning colour and the geese are honking overhead. However the wonderful trade-off for that is the sound of children in the schoolyard. Here is a list of teachers and classes for this term. You will recognize some names and then there are a few new ones. Kindergarten A - Mrs. Moir and Mrs, Brooks; Kindergarten B - Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Anderson; Grade 1 - Mrs. Stanley.

To celebrate the occasion, the school held an event on September 22 which included a barbeque, open house, displays, a time capsule made by the grade 8 class filled with 2016 items, a ceremony with past principals and other speakers, a fundraising movie showing of "Finding Dory" and more.
