20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 6, 1989 rh Celebration Day at R.H. Cornish , ~ Balloons R symbolize separation If you happened to look to the skies southest of Port Perry early last Friday afternoon, you' probably saw over 1,000 blue and white balloons soaring to- wards the jet-stream. No, it wasn't a big birthday party, but it was part of a cele- bration that day for the stu- "dents and staff at R.H. Cornish Public School. The special event was held to mark a special turning point in the history of the school. Starting in September, a lot of students and staff now at R.H. Cornish will be attending the new S.A. Cawker School on Simcoe Street North. It will be a "separation" of sorts, but as area superinten- dent Bob Martin told the stu- dents last Friday, it will also be "anew beginning." Balloons, balloons and more balloons. Over 1,000 of them, white and blue In the col- ours of Cornish School. The students and staff held a special event last Friday afternoon as many of the students and staff will be saying goodbye to the school when the new school on Simcoe St. opens in the fall. 0] SS rh REIS n= TERT And most likely, the stu- dents and staff who had been friends at R.H. Cornish will de- velop a healthy and friendly ri- valry when the new school opens.

One cluster was blue and white balloons in the Cornish colours, the other was red, white and silver which will be the Cawker official colours. It was quite a sight to see nd Peter Dean get ready to release clusters of balloons, a the balloons gain altitude and then disappear from view alto- gether as they headed in a southeast direction. And it was an emotional moment as well, as no doubt a lot of frienships will be altered somewhat once the new school opensin September. But the students and staff seemed to enjoy the hour-long celebrations immensely, wel- coming the chance to voice pride in their school -and wish good luck to all those who will be at- tending Cawker P.S. in the fall. Area superintendent Bob Martin called the occasion a "new beginning" for both R.H. Cornish and the soon to open S.A. Cawker School in Port Perry.
