» Sign Language Demonstration at Night School Open House The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, December 16,1992 Timely Lesson for Students Prior to Major Snow Storm by Laura J. Richards It was a school trip that 30 students from a Pickering public school won't soon forget. The grade six students, two teachers teachers and one of the teachers' sons from E.B. Phin School, arrived at the centre on Wednesday long before a thigh- high snow fall began in the Durham Region, said Russ Knight a staff member member at the centre. "The students and teachers had a unique experience with an extra day during the historic snow storm at the Ganaraska Forest Education Centre," Mr. Knight told The Statesman over the telephone on Monday morning. "They had a chance to use many of the things we discussed in our activities activities on Wednesday and Thursday before before the storm," he said. On Wednesday afternoon, once the students arrived at the education centre, centre, they broke up into three activity groups. Within the groups, the stu- while trying to get into the road leading leading up to the education centre. All in all, the storm that dumped two and one-half feet at the centre and around south-east Ontario, made the 30 students trip to the Ganaraska Forest Forest Education Centre, a little more special. "It will be a trip that they will talk about for a long time," said Mr. Knight.

Especially skills learned in a workshop workshop on group dynamics, "This is where everyone had to leam how to develop team initiatives and work together," he said. On Thursday, when it became evident evident that the storm that was brewing was going to be major, the group was left alone. "Our cook, Winnie Finnic, went home as did our maintenance staff." So, for the education centre staff, what was supposed to be a two-and- one-half day residential stay lasted another another 24 hours.

As for food, Mr. Knight and Ms Lee had to dip into the food order for the students that came in Monday. Having the food and the hungry children meant having to call the cook who had gone home on Thursday afternoon. afternoon. ( "We called the cook because we anted to make sure that .the children, who were burning off a lot of energy playing in the' snow, had nutritional meals." During the first part of the trip, the teachers and education staff members kept the children busy with preplanned preplanned activities. On Friday night, the teachers put their heads together for some fun. "The teachers found an artificial tree and showed the children how to make Christmas decorations from construction paper," Mr. Knight said. By Saturday morning, the novelty of being stranded was beginning to grow thin for some of the students who had begun to feel homesick. Also, there were some students who were low on medication for asthma asthma and other conditions. On Saturday, morning, while the education staff were making pancakes and toast for their inmates, Mr. Knight spotted a township plow coming up the road. "I threw on some clothes and ran out to flag them down. "I bribed them with hot coffee to plow out the driveway so the bus could come into the centre. "I don't know what we would have done if they hadn't," he said. In fact, the people who plowed the parking lot area of the education centre, centre, also helped pull the arriving bus out of the predicament it had slid into Christmas Lights to be held on Sunday, December 20th Leaves from Centennial Hall, Queen St. Those wishing to go, or needing transportation, call McGregor Drugs - 623-5792 or Wayne Hodge 623-5258 We urge citizens to please co-operate by illuminating their homes.
