from Matthew where Jesus tells
them that “Whoever gives even a
drink of cold water to one of the least
of these my followers, because he is
my follower, will certainly receive
his reward.”

doing good to others, then she read
the poem, I’m Drinking From My
Saucer, Because My Cup is
Overflowing.

speaker Susan Pegg, who had asked
everyone to bring their favourite cup
and saucer to the meeting. She read
from a book If a Tea Pot Could Talk,

Girls get athletic honour
Three Belgrave and area girls are
sharing F.E. Madill’s top female
athlete award after being honoured

Because of the double cohort,
more student/athletes are graduating
from school this year, thus it was
decided that three Madill athletes
would share the award, something
the school has never done before.
Kristyn Gerth is a skilled
competitor in basketball, volleyball,
and track and field.
Laura Meier participates in school
sports throughout the seasons, cross
