Rosenfeld News by Tina Wolfe
The gardening for this year is done and if you could see my face, you’d see a huge smile. I’m taking a holiday for the whole month of September. That doesn’t mean I won’t have anything to do but it will be projects which I chose while I’m having my morning coffee. The first task chosen was downsizing my clothes closet; a big garbage bag was filled within a short time and taken to the MCC. Adult clothes are not great sellers at a garage sale so it’s pointless to keep till next spring when we plan to have one. The next closet tackled was my fabric stash and crafts supply. I’m planning to move my sewing room down stairs which entailed getting the grandkids to go through all the stuff they’ve played with over the years. This produced two garbage bags one of which will be kept for spring and the other to go to the MCC. Watching the grandkids decide what to keep was very interesting.
School news
The tally for the Rosenfeld School enrollment is in which sits at 105 and the number is down a bit from last year. There have been some staff changes and this is the update for the new year. Kindergarten – Karen (Enting) Banman who is not new but got married during the summer and has a name change. We would like to extend congratulations to her. Yvette Froese stayed with the Grade One class as well as Jackie Harms with the Grade 2 students. Barb Rempel and Lauren McPhail are sharing the Grade 3 class. Jennifer Klippenstein has taken full time with the Grade 4’s and Denise Wolgemut and Jackie Nickel are sharing the Grade 5 class. Kathy Schroeder stayed in her Grade 6 room, Jason Pilkington kept his position as principal and Rob Fleming as gym instructor. EA’s are Terry Braun, Kathy Thiessen and Nettie Wall and rounding off the school staff are Warren Schroeder as custodian and coordinating the whole she-bang is secretary, Gladys Klassen. We’d like to welcome them back and wish them all a great year.
The month started busy with picture day on Monday, Sept. 10 and the Grades 3-5 had a Kids at Play in the Park day in Altona on Wednesday, Sept. 12. On Thursday all the parents and staff will be enjoying a Back to School barbeque at 5:30.
The Stay and Play program will be up and running starting Tuesday, Oct 2.The summer fun may be over but fun activities continue.
Fall hunting
Fall decorations have begun to appear and pumpkin stands offer a wide range of different sized pumpkins. The corn mazes will soon be busy as families spend time in the fall outdoors. For the hunters it’s the beginning of bird hunting season with the start of crane season and duck and goose are just around the corner. Goose breast when ground up makes very delicious burgers. In this family it’s become a three generation tradition and I’m happy for the guys when they have a good shoot.
