interdenominational event that featured Christmas music performed by the
Morinville Minstrels Seniors Choir, local school students and musicians from the
area. Admission was free, although donations were accepted on behalf of the
Knights of Columbus as part of their Christmas Hamper campaign. --photo by

thing where the kids get a chance to curl. They love it, they're right into it,” said
Ron Shaw, a teacher with Gibbons School who organized the event.
Approximately 30 students in Grades 7 to 9, who are also in the school Hockey

SNOWFLAGS ON PRIMARY OR SECONDARY HIGHWAYS
If your driveway is located off a primary or secondary highway (18, 661,
827, 831) etc., you will need to call Public Works at 780-398-3977 to let
us know your flag is out, as our grader operators do not travel these
highways.
Plowing Your Own Driveway
When plowing snow out of your driveway, please push the snow to the right
of your driveway, so that the grader operator can take it away from the
driveway. Please do not push snow across the road into the opposite ditch,
as this may leave a ridge that if a vehicle were to hit and do damage to
their vehicle, themselves or their passengers, the land owner could be held
responsible.

My best Christmas ever was last year. Me
and my family went to Hawaii. When I went
to Hawaii, I had Christmas there. I had my
birthday there and my Nana and Papa had
their anniversary in Hawaii. The meaning of
Christmas is Jesus’ birthday. We only get
presents because Jesus was a gift from God.

The meaning of Christmas to me is giving
instead of getting. My family celebrates each
day from December 1st to December 24th
waking up to find our family’s elf on the
shelf jingles. On Christmas eve my family
leaves cookies and milk for Santa. On
Christmas day my family takes turns opening presents. Christmas is all about celebrating the birth of Christ and Christmas is also
about spreading peace, joy, and love. Kaeden

I think Christmas is not all about presents. I
think it’s giving to other people and to think
about Jesus and Mary too. My best Christmas was last year, I got a nerfer bell gun. I
like playing with it. Every year when we are
done opening presents we go to my Grandma’s to have brunch. I love her mashed potatoes. We put presents under the tree and you
get to grab a different present. We do treasure hunts. My sister got a fuzzy quilt. We get
new p.j.s all the time. I love Christmas. Mercedes Anderson, Grade 3, Camilla School

Converter
Substation took a
collection onsite to
support local food
banks. The
contractor Western
Pacific Enterprises
G.P. matched what
the workers had collected. The grand total
came to $2490 plus three turkeys and 3 boxes
of non-perishable goods. This was divided up
three ways with a cash sum of $830 going to
Redwater, Gibbons and Fort Saskatchewan
food banks. The food banks are an important
source for stuggling families and they need
more people and
contractors to contribute.
No matter how big or small
your contributions are, it
will help some family to get
through some rough times.
It takes people to help

because he was a gift from God.

OUR FAMILY always puts
out carrots and cookies for
Santa and the Reindeer. Christmas is a time for every family to
come together. It is better to
give than to receive on Christmas. When I did not know we
were going to Hawaii so when I
found out I was really excited to
go. That was my best Christmas. Cohen Sutherland, Grade
3S, Camilla School
I THINK the true meaning
and spirit of Christmas is the
food and family and friends.
We all gather around the Christmas tree and thank Jesus.
Alana Bart, Grade 4 DJ, Bon
Accord
I THINK THE TRUE meaning and spirit of Christmas is
spending time with family then
we eat a special dinner.
Christopher Sturrock, Grade
4 DJ, Bon Accord
WE WAKE up and we meet
in the living room and open our
presents from Santa. We get
dressed to go to the Christmas
party. Becca Greenwald, Grade
3M, Camilla School
IN MY FAMILY we put up the
tree in early December. We go
to my grandparents houses and
open gifts. On Christmas eve
we hang stockings, leave out
cookies and milk, and open one
present. I like Christmas
because you get to open presents and it’s the day Jesus was
born. Bethany Sweeney, Grade
3M, Camilla School
My Sixth Christmas. I woke
up that morning. I was scared of
the living room. I thought Santa
was still there, so I went to my
mom and dad’s room. Then we
went to the living room and
opened presents.
Declin
Kreftenbeld, Grade 3M, Camilla School
MY FAMILY and I stay home
for Christmas because that’s
where all the presents are. My
family and I also go to my
Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
My family and I also go to my

I WAKE UP on christmas morning and I go
downstairs and eat cereal for breakfast. Then
we go in the living room to look in our stocking and open our presents and see what we all
got. Then we play with our stuff that we got.
Christmas is my favorite celebration. Adam

WHEN I WAKE I
already seen my mom,

already up. And when I

popped out and scared me

that. Even on my birthday.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS I ever had was
when I got a tablet. A tablet is like an i-pad
but you can attach a keyboard and it will
turn into a computer. The place I opened by
tablet up is at my grandma and grandpa’s.
The reason I opened it at my grandma and
grandpa’s is because every Christmas Eve
we go to my grandma and grandpa’s.
Farrah Burko, Grade 3, Namao School
EVERY TIME around Christmas day I
go to my grand parent’s or my aunt and

my parents. As soon as my family gets
downstairs we all open our stockings. After
we open our stockings, we
go to my aunty and uncle’s
house and open up our
presents. It is not just me,
my sister, my mom, my
dad, aunty and uncle. It is a
whole bunch of my family.

that Christmas is not about the presents, it is about love, joy, peace, and

get so do not forget them. I have never

Our family has pancakes for breakfast and then we look in our stockings,
then open presents. The meaning of
Christmas is to remember Jesus and
his mom and dad. The best Christmas
is this year. My family gets to go to
Florida. This year we are going to my
auntie’s house on Christmas day to
open presents. This is the best Christmas I’ve ever had. One more thing,
Merry christmas and Happy New Year.
Have a good Christmas everyone.

Mr. Cruickshank’s grade 5 & 6 students at Andrew School practiced the gift of giving
during the month of December. Students spent every morning collecting non-perishable
food items from the classrooms. During their recess they sold many delicious treats for
one dollar per piece. A total of $500 was raised and many boxes of food items were
collected. On Dec. 19 these students delivered and sorted the food at the Andrew Lions
Club building. The food was distributed by the Andrew Family & Community Support
Services during this Christmas season and the money will be used to buy additional
supplies as needed. Mr. Cruickshank summed it up by saying "The students were very
eager to participate in helping their community. They demonstrated that kindness and
empathy are gifts that all children possess in their hearts. This was also shown in the
selfless generosity of the many parents who baked squares, cookies, cupcakes, and
doughnuts every day for 10 days in a row. Our school is like a family and we consider
the community members of Andrew to be an important part of that family."

they've got hockey sense and to see how they work with the other kids." The 17
participants (aged six and seven) were from communities like Morinville,
