Students deck the halls
Brussels Public School is
beginning to look at a. lot like
Christmas. If you drive by or come
to visit you will see that the
windows have been painted and it
has made everyone excited to think
that the holiday is so near.
The students in kindergarten to
Grade 6 classes have been learning
their parts for the Christmas concert.
The concert is on Thursday. Dec. 12
at 7 p.m. This year's production is
called, Slap Shot Santa. The story
revolves around Santa wanting to
become an all-star hockey player.
People are welcome to attend the
dress rehearsal on Dec. 11 at 9:30
p.m.
There is no admission fee,
however there is a donation box at
the door for non-perishable food
items for the food banks as well as
silver collection.
The student council has been
preparing many fun events for the
entire student body. December
promises to be a fun-filled month.
From Dec. 2 - 13 each class will
have a collection box in their room
for children to donate _ non-
perishabte food items. The
classroom that collects the most
Christmas spirit will receive a
special surprise.
Candy Cane grams will be sold

cents from Dec. 2 - Dec. 18 over the
noon hour recess from 12:05 p.m. -

kindergarten to Grade 5 students.
Students may donate small pocket
change to help cover expenses.
Report cards went home on
Monday. Thursday night and Friday
will be Parent/Teacher Interviews.
Friday, Dec. 6 is a PA Day.
A NOTE FROM BETTY
Walking in a winter wonderland —
hum along now. Now even if winter
isn't your favourite season, you
really have to marvel at the gleaming
snow and glistening ice which are
really just the miracle of very cold
water.
The kids are getting all practised
up for the various concerts and
programs that will be available for
our viewing pleasure in the next few
weeks. So give them a little slack, as
you'll note their parents are often as
keyed up as the kids. It's our job as
family and friend to be the 'calm
point in this storm of the pre-
Christmas bustle.
The young adults in our midst
have had a trying week as they coped
with the loss of not one but two high
school friends this past week. Death
is never easy but to have two friends
die in a week will take a whole lot of
love, understanding and support
from all those around. Once again it
takes a community to raise as well as
support and maintain, good people.
It's our job.
Saturday was busy here as people
tried to get to all the places they
needed or wanted to be — hockey,
piano, other lessons as well as
parade and float preparations,
shopping, bazaars and auctions. And
from what I hear folks did
marvelously. That was one busy day.
But wasn't it fun?
The parade this year took on a
whole new identity. The darkness
gave it mystery and the participation
was great as the whole community
seemed to be present with their
lights all aglow. Good work and
thanks to all who got in the spirit and
came forth with the wonderful
lighted entries. Special thanks to the
Business Association, the firemen,
the Lions and Optimist Clubs and
the recreation committee for all the
background work yo do so well to
give us the treat of a hometown
parade. And the last group is
probably the most necessary the
folks cheering along the parade route
making it all worthwhile and lots of
fun.
A new endeavour at the United
Church was a Tea Party and Doll
Auction. Twenty-nine lovingly
dressed dolls were available for
buying on Saturday afternoon. Each
one was unique and creatively put
together by the members of the
congregation (with a little help from
their friends) and the bidding
showed appreciation for the sweet
dollies.
A proper tea was served pri6r to
and during the auction in china cups
with scones, jams and tarts with a
special area for the children with
their own tea sets. Lots of fun and
laughter was part of the day as
memories of past teas and dolls in
our lives were shared and the hats
and gloves from ages past set the
mood. Times have changed and it's
good once in a while to see why they
do.
Be calm and enjoy the excitement
of this season of Advent.
