Strawberries will be ready out at Keyzer’s Fruit Farm by the June 17. There is an amazing crop even though it is a couple weeks behind. Rapheal and Feliciana encourage everyone to come out and u-pick. This will save you money and ensure that the entire crop can get off of the field. Ready picked strawberries will be available for you too.

It is the beginning of all the u-pick crops which include raspberries, cherries, pears and apples. Of course, all Keyzers fruit will be at the Farmer’s Market on Saturdays when it is available.

The Strawberry Social will take place on July 2, 2011 at the Paisley Farmer’s Market  9am-1pm, complete with cream and cake.

Help the school get new instruments (no $$ required)

June 7, 2011

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I would like letters to be brought in by Tuesday June 21st 2011.

 Dear Community Members,

Keeping a music programme going is an expensive initiative but an important one. Within the ‘Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Science’ (CARAS) there is a group called ‘Music Counts’ and their mandate is to ‘develop new initiatives and enhance awareness of their efforts for music education in Canada. Every year they give money to schools across Canada for their Band programmes. The programme is called ‘Band Aid Grants’ and schools can receive between $5 000 and $10 000 dollars to buy new instruments and music for their school.

Last year, as a first year teacher, I was successful in obtaining a $5000 grant for Derby Public School in Kilsyth, just outside of Owen Sound. The school was then able to buy several new instruments to enhance their existing music programme.

This year I am looking forward to submitting a proposal for Paisley Central School. I believe in the importance of a strong music programme within schools and know that to obtain that we need to have reliable instruments and a variety of different instruments. There are some instruments, such as an electric guitar, that we do not have that I would like to recommend we purchase with the grant.

When applying for the grant they request an in depth look at the music programme in the school and its history. It is also asked that you make a wish list of what you would like to purchase with this money.

Another part of the grant is a collection of letters from the school board, community members, parents, students and the principal. I would like to ask for your assistance in providing letters of support as the parents and students of the school. I am looking for letters of support from the community.

Here is a little bit of background information from this past school year. All of the primary classes participated in the Grey County Kiwanis Music Festival. Awards received were: Jks – gold; Sk/1 – silver; 1 / 2 – bronze; 2/3 – bronze. The grade 7/8 class received gold; percussion ensemble – gold; and the small jazz ensemble – silver. Also this past year we had a Christmas concert and a spring showcase concert and art show. Both concerts included participation from the entire school. Also this year we had classes work with Boomwackers, bucket drumming and we started a STOMP percussion groups.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I would like letters to be brought in by Tuesday June 21st 2011.

Thank you for your support.
