Changes in store for Hullett Central PS
The virtue for the final month of
classes at Hullett Central Public
School was courage and on June 28
a large number of students showed
courage. Everyone gathered in the
auditorium for a talent show. Pupils
from all grades bravely took to the
stage to share their own particular
talents.
Singing solos were Rebecca
Airdrie-Forrest, Kesley Falconer and
Justine Schenk. Ellie Edwards, Lexi
Aitken and Brooke Falconer found
courage in numbers as they sang a
trio. Ross Edwards picked his way
into everyone's heart with his guitar
playing and Ellie Edwards treated
the crowd with a violin number.
Tickling the ivories that day were
Danielle Waugh, Monica Bakelaar,
Zachary Drost, Jordan Teed, Kelly
Cooke and Kesley Falconer. Caitie
MacDonald and Ross Edwards
found room on the piano bench for
two and played a duet.
Dance numbers were popular as
well and three groups of girls
performed — Kesley Falconer,
Alanna Roy, Mikayla Allen and
Valerie Westerhout; Janette Plaetzer,
Jillian Boyce and Ravyn Fox; and
also Chloe Middegaal, Lexi Aitken
and Megan Hoggart.
Solo dance numbers were offered
by Alanna Roy and Justine Schenk.
Dancing of a different style was
exhibited by stepdancers Ellie
Edwards and Brooke Middegaal and
Shannon Dale.
There was also a gymnast that
afternoon. Lexi Aitken worked
through a routine showing that talent
"We now have graduated from
being immature children to being
immature adults. teenagers".
This was one of the early
sentences in the valedictorian
address given by Danielle Bean at
the Grade 8 graduation activities at
Hullett Central Public School on
Friday, June 23. She was speaking
about the graduates moving from
their public school days on to the
exciting but frightening days in high
schools in the area.
It is time, she stated, to move on to
the next step in their lives and
growth. There will be changes now
to more adult activities and thinking.
They have been helped with this step
forward by their parents and
takes many forms.
Following the talent show the
whole student body got a chance to
view the slideshow about the Grade
8s which had been a part of the
graduation exercises.
Hullett Central said goodbye to a
number of staff at the end of June
unfortunately. Mrs. Lucie Turcotte
who has been teaching French on a
half-time basis, has accepted a full-
time position at Huron Centennial.
Ms Walden has also found a full-
time teaching position at Seaforth
Public School.
Mr. Galbraith, the EA for
kindergarten on Monday and.
Wednesday will be moving to Huron
Centennial in Brucefield. Mr.
Dennis Drennan transferred to
Hensall Public in early spring.
Some new faces for these vacated
teaching positions have already been
hired. Half-time French will be
taught by Ms Yvonne Van Hoof.
Mrs. Jill Hausen will assist Mrs.
Susan Barnett with Grade 1. The
most senior students will have Mr.
John Coups at the helm.
Last week I learned that come
September the school will miss the
cheery and friendly Mrs. Melonie
Miller in the office. Exeter high
school was in need of an office
personnel. As Melonie lives in the
Elimville area her drive to work will
be considerably shorter.
After six years as principal at
Hullett, Mrs. Lois Tebbutt is retiring
from the profession. The school
staff, students and parent council
said farewell to Mrs. Tebbutt at an
teachers. As she discussed their
years at Hullett, Danielle touched on
aspects of their various teachers and
how that contact may have
influenced individual pupils. The
teachers have shown them all how to
adapt to change, to be comfortable
with it and to grow because of it.
The gymnasium had been
decorated by the graduating young
folk and on one wall were
personalized mortar board hats and
on another their individual
silhouettes. Elsewhere were photos
of their class activities through the
years.
A long-term supply teacher from
last year, Rob Holland, was the guest
speaker that evening and because he
assembly on June 21. She received
a mountain ash tree to plant on her
farm and another will be planted on
the school grounds as a lasting
remembrance.
A donation was made on her
behalf to Habitat for Humanity and
the pupils gave her a lovely picture
signed on the back by all of
them.
Following is the interview Mrs.
Tebbutt gave to the student council
for the yearbook:
Q. How did you enjoy your time at
Hullett?
A. I enjoyed my stay very much.
There were some adjustments at the
start as there were so many new
staff, but we worked our way
through those adjustments.
Q. What do you plan on doing in
retirement?
A. Well...I'm probably going to
look for a job with shorter hours,
then. travel next year with my
husband to Cuba. The farm will keep
us busy, too, and I want to spent time
with our son.
Q. What is one of your fondest
memories of Hullett?
A. My fondest memory is
everyone working together to make
the auctions such a success,
especially in a small community like
this, seeing everybody come out to
support the school. Also seeing the
students growing up gives me good
memories.
Q. What was your favourite part of
a regular school day at Hullett?
A. Mornings, always the
mornings, the quiet calm before the
knew the pupils, it seemed a more
intimate talk. He told them that that
day was an important one in their
lives, one in which they can look
back on many firsts that happened in
their lives at Hullett that have set the
foundation for their future. He
mentioned that their teachers have
given them many tools that should
help each of them achieve much —
not just book learning but life skills
and the ability to form opinions.
His advice for them as they set off
to high school was to participate in
as many activities as possible, make
as many friends as possible, make
the best of the world you discover
and do a little studying along the
way.
The evening began with a banquet
for the grads and their families and
guests and ended with a dance just
for the grads. Along the way the
students let loose silver an blue
balloons, took many pictures,
thanked their teachers, watched a
very polished slide show of
themselves put together by
classmates and received individual
awards to mark their achievements at
Hullett.
day unfolds, especially the spring
mornings. •
Q. What made you want to
become a teacher?
A. There are a lot of teachers in
my family so I was probably
influenced early on. I guess if you
teach you always touch youth and I
like the way kids think. It helps you
stay young. Teachers are lucky
because they deal with healthy
children unlike some professionals
like doctors. It always gives me
pleasure to see the new leaders
of tomorrow right here in our
building.
Although the Hullett community
is sorry to see each of you leave we
offer congratulations and all the best
for the future you have chosen.
Delores Howatt called this week
excited and proud about a trip she
went on with her two daughters,
Joan Vandendool and Connie Pratt.
The threesome spent several days in
Chicago with Joan's daughter,
Andrea, who has just completed her
second year at the university there at
the School of Optometry.
Following one more year of
classroom study she will work in
clinics around the world gaining
more expertise for her profession.
Using the city's various transit
systems, Andrea toured her relatives
around her adopted home taking
them to navy pier and the Sears
Tower and along the "magnificent
FROM LONDESBORO
mile", a mile-long shopping
area.
The visiting ladies were able to
stay in the dorms and be close to
Andrea and visit the office where
she works part time. The great
weather helped make their jaunt
most enjoyable.
Delores says Andrea is enjoying
her course and the city of Chicago.
As part of their course Andrea and
fellow optometry students recently
attended a weekend seminar in Las
Vegas.
Villagers may have noticed that
Doug Snell is sporting an arm sling
these days. About a week ago he
took a nasty tumble on his way to
pick up the mail. He dislocated his
shoulder and is having to curtail his
activities for a little while. We hope
he mends quickly.
Don't forget the drive-in movie
this Friday evening at Rick and
Brenda Konarski's. Then on
Saturday, July 22 Cheryl Dunn will
sing gospel music at the Fellowship
Bible Chapel beginning at 6:30
p.m.
Let the fun begin
Representatives from each state and province, along with
