Girls teams for the North Huron
schools competed in the annual
volleyball tournament at
Brussels Public School last
week, while their male
counterparts were at Wingham.

strong Howick opponent in this
match. (Bonnie Gropp photo)
Grey firefighters had a busy
month of November with nine calls,
three of which occurred last week
within a 27-hour period. •
The firefighters responded to two
separate motor vehicle accidents, as
well as a shed fire at the Fournier
residence in Ethel.
The Mutual Aid meetings for the
fire department are finished until the
spring. The Christmas celebration is
on the Dec. 21.
Plans are falling into place for the
Ethel Family Christmas Celebration
on Dec. 12. Doug Conley has
offered his hay wagon for the
caroling around town and the baking
of squares has begun.
Yesterday, despite the blustery
weather, Curtis and Jesse, Michael
and Stephanie and our clan braved
tht. weather for some tobogganing
thrills down by the bridge. After I
fumbled my way down the hill on
our snowboard, Curtis looked at
Michael (who was set to go down on
another snowboard) and said" Okay
Michael, now do it right!" It was
almost a thing of beauty to watch
him sail down the hill!
Ethel seems to have many eager
snowmobilers (including several in
our house) enjoying this dumping of
snow we received. I confess that
even I took our sled out for a blood
pumping I'm-not-pregnant-this-
winter run on Sunday (my children
are still in shock) and it felt so good!
1 would like to remind people that
travelling on private property is
illegal, not to mention dangerous.
Also, if you cause damage to
someone's property with your
snowmobile, (like the machine that
drove through our wooden fence
Sunday night and didn't bother to
come and tell us) the "Motorized
Snow Vehicle Act" section 13
explains that you have a duty to
report to the police, damage that you
have directly or indirectly caused,
that exceeds $400.
I would like to think that if
someone caused damage to a
homeowner's property, regardless of
the amount, they would knock on
the door and own up. It's a respect
thing.
Report cards should have been
received for all Grey Central
students, SK to Grade 8 on Monday
this week.
Parent-teacher interviews are

Thursday, Dec. 5 from 4 - 8 p.m. and

Wednesday, Dec. II is Grey
Central's Christmas concert to be
held at 7 p.m. Dress rehearsal will be
held on Tuesday morning at 9:30

The senior girls volleyball team
travelled to Brussels on Wednesday
to play in the North Region
Volleyball tournament. The girls
played extremely well, having close
matches with Howick and East
Wawanosh. Miss Henry is very
proud of the sportsmanship the girls
showed and how well they played.
Miss Hill accompanied the senior
boys volleyball team to their North
Region volleyball tournament, held
in Wingham on Wednesday. She
would like to congratulate the team
on their effort and sportsmanlike
behaviour.
This week Ms Van Bolhius's
morning class painted a large world
display which will be in the centre of
the Grade Is pictures. It will be
displayed in the board office until
the end of December.
In math, they are studying place
value and are preparing a skit for the
Christmas concert entitled The Tale
of the Christmas Mouse.
The afternoon class is helping
with the props for the concert. In
math, they are learning subtraction,
and how to multiple decimals. Three
of the students, Jasmin, Mark, and
Jim are painting the windows in
Mrs. Goodall's classroom.
Mrs. Bowler's kindergarten class
is learning the letter H. They made
houses out of milk cartons. They had
a hot chocolate party. They got three
new goldfish to enjoy and observe in
their classroom.
Mrs. Smith's kindergarten class
enjoyed learning the colour brown
and they have learned 13 letters of
the alphabet this year. They
displayed their teddy bears in the
hall from smallest to biggest. The
kindergarten class loved reading
Goldilocks and the Three Beai-s.
Miss Hill's class is starting to
make Christmas workbooks. The
Grade Is are starting subtraction.
Mrs. Taylor's Grade 3s arc
learning about measurement math.
Miss Aarssen has been teaching
the Grade 4/5s. The Grade 4s arc
learning about Nova Scotia in social
studies and light in science. The
Grade 5s are studying the Greeks in
social studies and the body,
specifically the circulating system.
In art, they are creating geometric
shape, collages and learning about
the artist, Braque.
Miss Henry's Grade 7 class is
completing their study of heat in
science and will be having a unit test
on Dec. 12. In addition, the Grade 7s
are finishing up their geography unit
on the themes of geographic inquiry;
the test for this unit will be Dec. 19.
The plan is to have all of the units
completed by Christmas, so students
can enjoy their Christmas break.
In math, Mr. Payne's Grade R class
is calculating area of parallelograms
and triangles. They are spelling
unusual plurals and Latin roots. In
science, they are reviewing
machines. In music, they are doing a
new album of George Harrison's
works.
