Mrs. B. Jewitt has
transferred back to the
Clinton Public School. We
all thank these two young
teachers for all their help
last year and we wish
them the very best in
their new schools.
We are all looking
forward to- another great
year. We are again
fortunate to have the use
of the gymnasium in the
Conestoga Wing of the
school. The pupils of the
Vanastra Public School
will require a change of
clothing for physical
education classes. We
recommend Shorts' and
cotton tops.
We are very crowded at

Inclement weather
conditions occasionally
necessitate clOsing of
school. An announcement
of school closure will be
broadcasted at 8:30 am
over CKNX dial 920
Wingham or CFPI., dial

announcement the school
will be OPEN.
In order to encourage
attendance and punc-
tuality, one day each
month will be set aside
for some type of special
activity. Those classes
which have had
reasonable attendance
and lateness records will
be allowed to attend these
special activities. There.
is NQ reason why
everyone will not be able
to attend each month.
Arrangements have
already been made for
, swimming at the
Vanastra Pool. It is hoped
that, again this - year,
every child in grades 1 to
6 will be able to take part
in this very worthwhile
program.
