Changes are evident everywhere this year
in area schools.
Brussels Public School lost a kindergarten
teacher when Jeanne Ireland retired so Lois
Anonech now teaches kindergarten and
French. Because the school lost a half-time
teacher in Mrs. Ireland it has split up some
of the classes frotil about a quarter of the
'day. Those classes are Grades 4 and 5, 5 and
6 and 6 and 7. "
Enrolment at the school this year is 200
compared to 209 at the end of June; 1980 and
224 in. September of 1980. Kindergarten
enrolment this year is 21 compared to 22 in
September of last year.
The school is now on a six day cycle
system because it works out better that way
for various programs. For instance, holiday
and professional development days used to
mean that some students had to always miss
a certain activity. With a six day system,
they will no longer have that problem as the

Thanks goes to the children who joined in
the fun of the Summer Reading ProgramThere
were eight children participating this year.
Each child received a poster to color and
when they completed the program they
received a certificate. Each child's name was
put in a hat for a draw on five pins. The
winners were Jake Bette!, Andy Overholt,
Kelly Overholt, Matt Ezeruski and Amy
Albright.

-The front of the Brussels post office has
taken on a new look, Instead of the steps to
the entrance door a ramp has been
constructed. This makes easier access for the
elderly and handicapped-persons.

The Telephone Reassurance Service Pro-
jects sponsored by ladies of the Brussels
United Church, did not get the initial
response expected: They were hopeful that it
Will get going by October lst. Part of the
probletn may have been that some people
thought that it was only meant for members
of the United Church. That is not the case. It

cycle will always continue on with the next
day as though there had been no holiday.
Perhaps Walton school has undergone the
biggest change of any of the area schools.
It's sharing its principal, Paul Carroll and
some of its teachers with Seaforth Public
School. It has also gained a vice-princinal
Mary Ellen Walsh who formerly taught
kindergarten there.
Other new teachers include Della Bennett
of Seaforth who's teaching kindergarten,
Doreen Brightrall, a teacher's aide with
kindergarten, and Ruth Ribey who is the
secretary in conjunction with her work at the
Seaforth Public School.
Because of the twinning of the Seaforth
and Walton Public schools they're sharing
teachers in a number of subjects -- music
with Carolyn Griffin, library with Gwen
Patterson, phys-ed with Georgina Reynolds
and special education with Jill Johnston and
Shirley Lyon.
East Wawanosh Public School in Belgrave
has also undergone a number of changes in
its teaching staff.
John Kerr is the new librarian and there's
a new kindergarten teacher -- Donna
Shaddick. There's a new class this year -- the
special learning needs class being taught by
Lynda Train who formerly taught the
remedial class. The remedial class is now
being taught by Marlene McDonald.
Enrolment remained static with 178
pupils, the same as in. June and compared to
about 180 last September. There are 20
students in kindergarten, about the same as
last yeir.
Grey Central School in Ethel showed the
least changes but its total enrolment, 249 is
up about 18 from last year. Enrolment in
kindergarten of 29 is also up from last year,
so that there are now two kindergarten
Basses.
