Thank you from St. Thomas' Anglican Church
On behalf of the congregational
council of St. Thomas' Anglican Church,
I would like to express our greawt
appreciation to the communtiy for their
continued support for our many fund-
raising events.
Most recently, the celtic band, Steel
City Rovers hailing from Hamilton,
entertained us with a rousing concert of
folk rock and celtic music.
More than 100 people bought tickets
to this event, which was in support of
the ongoing repoars and maintenance
of the church building.
Earlier in the year, the Shrove Tues-
day supper was extremely well
attended, resulting in $350 from the
proceeds being donated to the Seaforth
and District Food Bank.
The congregational council and the
membership of St. Thomas' Anglican
Church greatly appreciates this com-
munity's support.
Sincerely,
Joanne Rowcliffe
Congregational council secretary
Short but busy week for staff and students
Anne's school news
Claire Gordon
Minister of Public Relations
It was yet another short and busy
week for the staff and students at St.
Anne's.
The week began on Tuesday with a
french cooking workshop for the
french students at the REACH Centre,
another workshop also took
place Friday.
The Grade 10 students also trav-
elled to Tillsonburg on Wednesday
for a history trip.
WOSSAA tennis and track and field
also took place this past week.
Both championships took place in
London and featured a number of
students from St. Anne's.
The junior soccer teams, baseball
team and rugby teams all played at St.
Anne's this week. The girls rugby team
hosted the Huron Perth tournament
on Thursday. Congratulations girls on
winning another Huron -Perth
championship.
The concert band travelled to
Toronto on Thursday for a three day
Trills and Thrills competition.
This week marks the last month in
May, leaving only a month left of
school.
The staff and students are all busy
getting ready for exams and the end of
the year.
A reminder to graduates: grad fees
and community service hours are due
on May 30. Grad Mass will take place
on June 1 at 2 p.m., all graduates and
their families are welcome to attend.
Mom, don't forget the GPS

Have you ever called your child
"bossy',' "stubborn',' "wild',' or "picky"?
These types of labels are a negative
description of a child's trait that can be
viewed in a more positive light. We
need to consider new and more positive
labels for our children's temperaments.
Mary Sheedy Kurcinka suggests rede-
signing the labels we have for our chil-
dren in her book, "Raising your Spirited
Child':
Researchers have found that if we
hold positive thoughts about our chil-
dren, it changes our behaviour. We will
be more open, patient, and tolerant.
For example, your "bossy" child may

be seen as a great leader someday, able
to take charge of a situation. Give these
children some responsibility and they
can handle it. Your "stubborn" child has
a willingness to persist in the face of
obstacles.
Be patient with this type of child and
make sure to give them the time he, or
she, may need to master the skill at
hand. Your "wild" child can be viewed
as energetic or full of life and outgoing.
Know your child. Take a cue from
your life -loving child sometime and
have some fun. Your "picky" child is
decisive in his or her taste, or selective.
Take pride in the fact your child knows
what he or she wants, and doesn't want.
Sounds much nicer with the new, more
positive labelling doesn't it?
I had this "a -ha" moment recently
after talking to a friend about my son. I
was venting to my friend about my son's
annoying need to have everything "just
so," and how I had a hard time dealing
with his insistence for order and struc-
ture. She reminded me it is a great qual-
ity to have. She said he would be my
child that would take care of things in
the future. If we were going on a trip, I
should put him in charge of the list, the
maps, etc. It was hard to see this great
quality in my child at the time. All I
could see was a young boy having tan-
trums in the morning because his boots
need to go on before his coat. I did not
have the time, patience, or clarity to see
how this behaviour could be considered
a good thing at all, until this weekend.
Our family was preparing for a trip to
the U.S., and our son enjoyed our family
discussion about the rules for the week-
end. But, the "a -ha" moment came
when we were preparing to leave and
my son shouts out, "Mom, don't forget
the GPS!" Awesome. This is what my
friend was talking about.
In this moment, I was so thankful
for his attention to detail and need for
order. This quality could be very use-
ful. I started to think about my son's
trait in a more positive way and now
have a better understanding of his
personality. "Mom, don't forget the
GPS!" was an awesome reminder for
me. Perhaps it had dual meaning. I
think I had lost my way, but with my
son's reminder, I now have a clear
sense of direction.
