They are selling pop and Culbert's donuts. Some students busily made friendship bracelets for fellow students to purchase. Prices ranged from 25 cents to 50 cents. The colour range and patterns were beautiful and students created bracelets with many different knots and twists. PET ROCKS The Grade 5 class at Blyth Public School has allowed 21 new pets into the school. These pets are very harmless, adaptable and quiet. They're also very beautiful and they make great companions. Each student has chosen a pet rock as the beginning to their rock unit. They named it, sketched it, and used all five senses to identify with it. Students are going to-report on Monday why they chose their particular rock.

Community Living Assoc. seeking positions The Wingham and District Community Living Association has been working diligently in the area to get developmentally challenged people integrated into the community. Cheryl Meyers said some of the people associated with the organization have been active in the Blyth area, but they are still looking for other activities or odd jobs. Since January, some of the association's members have been involved with the Coffee Break Hour at the Blyth Christian Reformed Church, in addition to volunteering at the Blyth Festival and Huronlea. "It could be a volunteer position or employment for even just a couple of hours a day," Myers says, adding that odd jobs like stocking shelves, delivering mail or running other errands of this type would be perfect opportunities for the individuals to feel part of the community. • Anyone interested in this program could contact the Association at 357-3562.
