Speyside Regret losing teachers from school staff i fine respected teachers from staff of Speyside Public School has come as quite a surprise to students and the com Grade teacher Mrs Sue and Grade 5 tea Cher Mrs Marion will be leaving the school mid term at the Christmas break Both Mrs Gilmour and Mrs Radford are moving out of the area to the States and to Northern Ontario respectively Often when a community loses member It is rather difficult to pinpoint the one outstanding quality moat likely to be remembered However In Marlon Rad font case there Is no doubt In my mind that her dramatic and artistic flair will be missed Mm Radford class was most often called upon to provide the artwork or dramatic Interest In the school projects or plays She Instilled In her pupils both past and present a desire to create that could be seen Immediately upon entering her classroom As for Sue she was always the same approachable and loved by her young children admired by their parents respected by her colleagues and within the community considered a super person to know While chatting with Norm Howell the other day he ex pressed to me a feeling of deep regret In losing these two staff members and I am sure I speak for the entire community when I say we will miss them too The best of luck to you both in your new ventures and whenever you arc back in the neigh bourhood please do not pass up the chance to pay us a visit In Ihe New Year when school reconvenes wo will be welcoming two new staff members Mrs Ann Arm strong who comes to us from Toronto will be teaching the Grade class and Mrs Norma Holder from Dunn vlllc will teach Grade Stephanie Lister has done an excellent Job As you may recall she took over the falling gymnastics program Just six snort weeks ago and because of her ob vious love of kids and Use In her field has managed to put together a program of high calibre Last Monday evening was the final night of Stephanie and her assistants taught a regular class for the first minutes then had five young girls from her Georgetown program give a demon of more advanced routines The Speyside children were thrilled with what they saw and are anxious to keep on with their gym lessons after Christmas so they may some day achieve the same grace and precision that was displayed by the guest per formers This program is a healthy fun rewarding experience for the children involved and I am so pleased it will continue to be offered at the school Registration for the winter program will be held after Christmas at the school although at this time I do not have an exact date However notices will be sent home from school Congratulations Die winners and runners up In the Region Fire Prevention Poster Contest were honoured last Wed ncsdny by Regional Council Is proud to
