22 graduate from Hullett CPS
Twenty-two young folk graduated
from Hullett Central Public School
recently in what will be remembered
by them as a bittersweet event. As
they said goodbye to their primary
education and teachers to head on to
Grade 9, as Jillian Anderson said in
her valedictorian address, “It is a
door to our future”.
Michael Roy, one of this year’s
graduates tells us about the evening:
“The Grade 8 graduation was held
on Friday, June 20 for Hullett
Central Public School. As each
student entered the school, a corsage
or boutonniere was presented to
them.
The gymnasium was decorated in
a blue and white theme with the help
of NJS Designs. Helium-filled
balloons, miniature white lights and
plants accented the gym.

Little Bowl in Goderich came to the
Hullett Marsh to build osprey

Junior Farmers, led by Heather

Paramount Canada’s Wonderland:
“On the ride there we listened to
music, talked and the guys looked
for nice cars as most of the girls tried
to sleep. When we got to Canada’s
Wonderland, groups were formed
according to what class members
wanted to see and do. Many people
in our class headed for the water
park. But some of us decided to stay
