GRADE 2 - CLOWNING AROUND by Charlene Hulzebos For the past two weeks at Blyth Public School, the grade two class has been working on a unit called "clowns”. Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson has had some interesting things for the students to do such as clown centres, clown math, clown art, dressing up, watching movies. Bd. of Ed. studies bus routes are the it is The Management Committee of the Huron County Board of Educa­ tion told the trustees at the April 8 meeting that discussion will be held with bus contractors and the separate school board officials to discuss route consolidations and cost savings under the new grant system. The committee had reviewed the impact of the board’s over-ceiling expenditures against local tax rates and predictions about the new grant system say that it could impose serious additional tax bur­ den on the ratepayers unless immediate route efficiencies sought. Trustee Rick Rompf told board that on a positive note understood that such efficiencies will now save rather than cost additional tax dollars. A recommendation was passed permitting the driver’s education instructors to offer special defen­ sive driving classes for students as a supplement to the regular pro­ grams. These would be at no cost to the board though there would be an additional fee to the student. The course would be voluntary and will be run on a trail basis. ***** Funds from the sale of equip­ ment from the former machine shop at Central Huron Secondary School will be used to support technological studies renovations at CHSS. A proposal was received from the technological staff at Seaforth Dis­ trict High School to construct a portable classroom and storage sheds at school locations. It was noted that cabinetry and millwork contracts could also be let to other secondary school technological facilities to complete, at a small profit margin to accrue to the school. This would prove cost saving to the board and generate the usual grant receipts on eligible projects as applicable. In passing the recommendation in favour of this proposal Trustee John Jewitt noted that it would be an added challenge for the students in seeing the finished project. ***** Graeme Craig was the only trustee to oppose a recommenda­ tion ending the daily shuttle bus service between CHSS and SDHS. In making the recommendation to the board the Management com­ mittee had noted that of the students who had been guaranteed this service there would be none remaining at the end of June. The 10 remaining authorized riders began using the shuttle knowing THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1991. PAGE 27. Students work on Earth Day projects guessing games and plays.

SHARING STORIES by Tara Wilson and Margy Stewart Every Wednesday after the last recess the grade fives go to the Kindergarten room. Each grade five student picks a book from the library and reads it to a Kindergar­ ten student. They get a different reading buddy each week. Then they pick out words they know. Each grade five has their own log that it would one day be terminat­ ed, said Committee Chairman Rick Rompf, and they had been advised on two occasions that its cancella­ tions was planned. ***** The HCBE trustees have esta­ blished a trust fund in the name of the Alex Graham Memorial Scholarship Fund for graduating students at Howick Public School. The award will honour the Math and English students.***** A letter was received from town of Wingham regarding parking at F. E. Madill Secondary School.
