10 - Orono Weekiy Tlines~ ~ Fîrst sehool month of year behînd Dear Orono School Comtnunity: The frst month of the year is behind us and the school activities and routines are i full swing. 1 enjoyed having the opportunity to see s0 many of our parents and community members at our Open House. 0f course, the first big activity of the year was the Orono Fair. Our students participated, well in the parade and many students won ribbons for their entries in the Fair. Some of their works are hung ini the hall by the gym. Thank you to every- one who helped prepare for the Fair and helped supervise durlng our aftemnoon there. Choir, Orff, Harrier anid Soccer have already begun. Students have beeri practis- ing during lunch hours and recesses for the upcoming Harrier and Soccer meets later this month. If you are i the school on Fridays, you niay notice that the staff is looklng more relaxed than usual. Fridays are 'Dress Down, Days'. Staff pays $1.00 for the opportu- nity to dress down wlth pro- ceeds donated bo the United Way. Finally, youwill note a strong safety emphasis to this newsletter. I encourage you to read these Items carefully and review with your children good safety choices. We will wind up our safety month wlth a trip to Dr. Ross Tilley P.S. for our Grades 1-5 stu- dents to see a safety play pre- sented by the O.P.P. entitled Tfhe Bear Hug Band." Worklng together to keep children safe. Catherine Montreuil Principal GOOD CHOICES ON BIXES One has only to look at our bike stand area to see 'how many students enjoy belng active! Whle it is nice to see students havlng fun on their trips to and from school, safe- ty is an issue that we at school share with the community. I have spoken with several members of the community who have volced concerris about bicycle safety. It seems that some of our students have forgotten good safety choices while on their bikes. We ask that parents review bike safety and expectations with their children. P.C. Marks, our police liai- son officer, believes that, in most cases, chlldren are about grade four age before they are capable of applylng safety rules consistently enough to be riding alone to and from school. Orono has some particular areas where speclal care needs to be taken. Or course, as everyone is aware, bicycle helmets are mandatory by law. SAPE CHOICES IN CARS We ask that parents drop- -!-i nff cildtren for shol r students picking up chidren from school work wlth their child to find a safe pick up and drop-off point along Church Street.- Some parents have been coming up the South Driveway, making It unsafe for the many students who enter the yard on this side of the sehool. Please remember that the South Drive is where our Kindergarten students enter and leave. These young- sters often need a few moments to become aware of their environment. Please help themn stay safe by refraining from usIng the South Drive. CHANGES Mrs. Bird has been sec- onded haif Urne to the Board office to work on changes to curriculum.

Shcing a Heaithie"r Future,, i D emocrats (contlnued from page 9) receive adequate health care. Second: the Harris govemn- ment should cancel the next stage of their il1 conceived tax eut, restore pay equity, and pay homemakers a decent wage to care for people. We're convinced people in Ontario will choose quallty health care over a two-cups-of-cof- fee-a-week tax eut every lime. Meanwhile, we have called on the Harris govemment to sit down with us. the Red Cross and worker represen- tatives, bo work out a solu- tion that ensures people receiving homemaker services ln these communities get the care they need.
