Blyth students hold Remembrance Day service
REMEMBRANCE DAY
by Toni Richmond
On Monday, November 11 at
Blyth Public School, the students
participated in an assembly about
Remembrance Day. Members of
the Royal Canadian Legion Branch
were in attendance along with sev
eral parents.
Chad Haggitt, President of the
Special service
Students of Brussels Public School held a Remembrance
Day assembly on Monday in recognition of the many who
gave their lives for Canada. Here, a student pins a poppy
on the wreath.
Students’ Council was Master of
Ceremonies. Rhonda Gibbons and
Jody Button were there to explain
about why we have Remembrance
Day and why the poppy is used as a
symbol on that day. Then we sang
“Kum-Ba-Yah”.
Mr. Hooftman our teacher, pre
sented us with an historical slide
presentation and commentary about
the First and Second World Wars.
The class representatives placed
poppies on the cross. The audience
sang the hymn “O God our Help in
Ages Past” and then observed a
minute of silence in respect for the
fallen soldiers.
Mary Lou Stewart, Public Rela
tions Officer for the Blyth Legion
read an essay on “Peace”. The
assembly closed with the singing of
“Where Have all the Flowers
Gone”.
VOLUNTEERS
by April Van Amersfoort and
Christina Black
For the past couple of months
Joanne Van Amersfoort has been
working as volunteer at B.P.S. She
has been helping Mrs. Webster in
the library. She also helps Mrs.
Kolkman in the office. Mrs. Van
Amersfoort says she would like to
become more familiar with the
teachers and students, and to leam
more about the computers. Later on
she will be helping students with
reading skills by using the comput
er. She is now in training. She usu
ally works on Thursday mornings.
“Mrs. Webster always has some
thing for me to do. I enjoy the work
a lot!” she says.
Mary Lou Stewart also helps
Mrs. Webster in the library. She
prepares material for the Kinder-
garten students to use. Mrs. Stewart
works on Tuesday afternoons. She
is also learning how to use the
computers. I’m sure Mrs. Stewart
and Mrs. Van Amersfoort are great
helpers to Mrs. Webster and the
other staff members at B.P.S.
GYMNASTICS DISPLAY
by Zoey Onn and
Shawna Walker
On Thursday, Nov. 7, a small
group of budding gymnasts from
Mrs. Battyc's gymnastic classes had
the privilege of attending a gym
nastics display in Wingham.
The display included gymnasts
from the Royal Military College of
Canada. The group is on a tour of
high schools in an attempt to
encourage students to register at
military colleges to further their
education.
Those who attended from B.P.S.
described the presentation as “the
most awesome display of gymnas
tics they had ever seen.” They used
a High Horse which is a higher ver
sion of the vault. The presenters
jumped on a mini-tramp and over
the high horse doing a range of
things from bullets to triple somer
saults. For the B.P.S. students, it
was a sensational performance, one
they will remember for a long time.
Thank you to the volunteer drivers,
Chris Courtney and Bev Walker.

GARDEN FRESH PRODUCE
Brussels class writes poems
by Victoria Richards and
Jamie Smith
The kindergarten students have
had their first experience with win
ter and snow in the school play
ground. We asked two of the
kindergartens how they liked the
snow. Victoria Thersien thought
she liked to make forts and slides
and Brendan Purcell was sure he
liked making snowmen. When it's
storming they like to stay indoors
to look at books, play Nintendo and
have older brothers and sisters read
to them and play with them. Vicky
said she really likes summer better
because she can go swimming then
but Brendan told us he likes both
seasons about the same. Snow is
good stuff when you know what to
do with it.
By now grade eight is well into
their annual cheese sale campaign.
Sales are reported to be brisk as the
students give you the opportunity
to purchase many varieties of
cheese as well as various sizes of
cheese boxes for gift giving. If you
wish to have a student call on you,
please call Stacy Hahn at 887-6959
or Lanette Todd at 887-6687.
The primary classes too have
been learning about Remembrance
Day through special activities in
their classrooms. Mrs. Uhler’s
grade three class wrote poetry
which expressed feelings about war
and peace.

As well as their remembrance
activities Miss Nethery's kinder
garten made letters that represent
the first letter of their names.
Ms. Dinhonech's grade one class
have been busy making a “Good
Manners” book. We hear the stu
dents in this class trying to practise
those good manners in the hall and
on the playground.
In grade two, Mrs. Clark and her
students made books entitled
“Where Have You Been?” and
“Owls”.
Hot Dog Fridays have begun and
everyone really enjoys the scrump
tious hot dogs as a change from
regular noon hour sandwiches.
Thanks to the parent volunteers,
Mrs. Bridge and Mrs. Black this
week, and to Mrs. Julie Coulter
who is co-ordinating the hot dog
program.
