Grey Central's teachers have been busy working on new computerized report cards. These report cards will be sent home on Friday, Nov. 24 and most parent interviews will be held on Thursday evening and on Friday during the day because Friday, Dec. 1 is a P.D. day. A meeting of the Parents' Advisory Council will be held on Monday, Nov. 27. On Thursday, Nov. 23 Mrs. Colinson from Atwood will be visiting our school to tell stories to the Early Years to Grade 6 pupils. Many pupils have been busy preparing posters for the Brussels Santa Claus Parade. David Harrison Monday, Nov. 13 was a sad day at Grey Central. As the students returned to school after the weekend they learned that one of our Grade 8 students would not be with us. David Harrison and his father had died in a car accident the day before. David came to Grey Central in Grade 7 and although he was only with us a short time, in his own quiet way, he left a positive impression on us. His classmates remember him as a guy who never said anything mean, a real easy person with whom to get along. As a student he was polite, was someone who minded his own business and cared about people. They recalled David loved basketball, always looked his best, did his work without complaint and always listened to what others had to say. Although David's time with us was short we will miss him at Grey Central. Our sympathy is extended to David's family. Grade 6/7 News By Devin Shannon and Sonya Schultz Students from Grade 6/7 are working on Social Studies projects about different countries and also about news from all around the world. In science we are learning about machines that make work easier. In French class we are learning about different rooms of the house. This week we enjoyed learning about Christopher Columbus and his journey to the new world which he thought would be India. Now we Remembrance Day A Remembrance Day service was held at Grey Central on Friday, Nov. 10. This year the two Grade 5/6 classes were responsible for presenting it. They chose the theme "peace" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. Rodney Dammeier and Joel Hemingway acted as masters of ceremony. The program began with the singing of 0 Canada followed by are sending the information home with the students who wanted to share it with their families. In Grade 6 we had four winners for the Legion Remembrance poster, poem and essay contest. Rachel deBoer won second for the black and white poster, Sonya Schultz won third for the black and white and Jamie Lewis got a first for her colour poster. She has been asked to enter her poster into a bigger contest. Mike Walsh also won a first and has been asked to enter his. There - Continued on page 26 some students in Mr. Garland's class presenting the word "Peace" in several different languages. The students then sang, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing and a small group demonstrated a Jewish round and dance called Shalom. Rodney and Joel read an abbreviated version of "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes". This was followed by the students singing Let There Be Peace. The Grade5/6 then shared what peace meant to them. Prior to the service every pupil in the school had traced and cut out their hand shape on the gym wall with the U.N. Peace symbol in the middle of the wreath. Poppies and doves were placed on the wreath by two members from each class. Mrs. Bateman and Mr. Statia represented the staff, while Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Stafford represented the Parents' Advisory Council. The poppies reminded us of those who fought for our freedom, the hands represented our desire to work together for a better community and country and the doves symbolized our desire for peace throughout our world. The Last Post was played followed by a minute of silence. Our Remembrance Day service concluded with the students quietly returning to their classroom.
