This week at Walton Public
School all of the kids have been
very busy making Mother's Day
crafts and cards. Adam Coombs
reported that in his Grade 4 class
they decorated little straw hats and
made cards for their mothers.
He also wanted everyone to
know that they have picked new
teams for three-pitch.
The Grade 3 class had a lot of
fun working with puns as they
made up their cat shaped note pads
for mom...'You're a purrfect
mom.', 'You're the cat's meow';
'Have a happy meowther's day'.
The class also had Mrs. Lubbers
and Mrs. Buerman come in and
help the kids make cookies for
"Authors Day" next week.
When I went into the school to
find some news a most delicious
aroma filled the air. The source of
that smell led me to the Grade 2
room where I found out that the
kids had made caramel popcorn for
their mothers.
The class is experimenting still
with plants. They put vaseline on
the top of one leaf and vaseline on
the bottom another leaf to see if it
affects the plant's breathing. On
still another plant they wrapped a
leaf in tin foil and they will learn
what lack of light can do to a plant.
The Grade is were very creative
in their Mother's Day gifts. They
used magazine papers and
catalogue covers to make rolled
bead necklaces and then they
designed their own cards.
The kindergarten youngsters
have been super busy this week.
Almost two thirds of dropouts
have only Grade 10 education or
less and are 17 years old or
younger.

They had a very successful plant
'transplantation' and the flowers are
all growing in individual pots.
They got their Mother's Day craft
idea from Marshmallow, their
bunny puppet. He had made the
craft in his school and wanted to
teach the kids how to do it.
Ms Jewitt said the children
worked 'really' hard on the booklet
that was filled with all kinds of
wonderful messages of their
mothers.
Cassandra Banks reported that
Ms Jewitt entertained the kids with
her yo-yo that she happened to
bring to school. It can do all sorts
of tricks like walk the dog, dog
bite, rock the baby and burp the
baby. She would have shown them
some more but the yo-yo broke.
Congratulations to Shayne and
Joy Cochrane whose dog Sasha,
had six puppies on Saturday. The
two excited boys came up to our
house to give us the good news.
The dog had been overdue and her
owners were getting a bit anxious.
Jay said that that morning his dad
told Sasha that she had better have
puppies that day. Well, their dog is
so well trained that she did exactly
that!

Audrey and Howard Hackwell
greeted worshippers at Duff's
United Church on Mother's Day,
May 14. Geoffrey Banks started the
service off by lighting the Christ
Candle. Rev, Randy Banks greeted
everyone by wishing them all a
'Happy Family Day.'
He called all the young children
forward and using a little story
from the book Illustrations
Unlimited he told about the science
teacher who asked the kids the
question, 'My name starts with M
and I pick up things. What am I?'
Before Rev. Banks could continue
with the story one of the children
called out 'a Mother!'
'Right,' said Rev. Banks. That's
what the little boy in the class said
too. The teacher was expecting the
answer to be 'a magnet.'
Rev. Banks's sermon was called,
'Our Work as Witnesses.'
While black fly populations tend to
peak in late May and early June, in
more northern areas of Canada, the
season can extend into late
October.
apparently all 'the behind the
scenes' people were being
interviewed by reporters from the
show.
Anyone passing by the Walton
Ball Park will notice that there are -
two new light standards in the
process of being set up. The very -
committed and hard working
Recreation Club has raised enough
money for this to take place. Now
fielders won't be able to use the
excuse that they missed the ball
because there wasn't enough light.
