Open house went really
well! An overwhelming
number of people came to
see demonstrations done in
the gym and to see people
cooking rabbit stew, moose
meat balls, goat, duck and
venison. All that food was
being prepared for the
pioneer dinner. This pioneer
dinner took place Monday in
the -gym at the school, About
80 people attended the
dinner! People from the
board of education were
there and retired teachers
from the Wingham Public
School also attended.
The gymnasium was
decorated to give off a
pioneer atmosphere. The
students from Grade 7 and 8
and Mr. Martin's special
learningneeds class
prepared the dinner and they
hoped that everyone came
dressed in pioneer clothes to
suit the occasion.

When many people insure their
personal belongings they make the
mistake of believing that they are
covered for full replacement value.
Sadly that's not always the case.
Some policies will only pay out a
fraction of what it would cost you to
replace your possessions at current
market value.
