The children have started a new unit about "fall" for their morning centre where they are learning how people and some animals prepare for winter. You could find many squirrels and bears hibernating in the classroom. In environmental studies centres with their Grade 1 buddies, they just completed the pumpkin unit and soon will be starting a Christ- mas unit. They made some great jack -o -Interns with their Grade 6 buddies. Both Kindergarten classes will be going to the Goderich museum to see "A Truly Canadian Christ- mas" as part of the Christmas unit.

Students' Council The students' council this year already has held many events, in- cluding a Halloween dance. Those who dressed up were admitted free. There also was a hat and tie day in which every student wore a hat tied and coming soon is a formal black and white dance, meaning the boys have to wear suits and the girls have to wear dresses.
