Treats From Heme
Sixth grade students in Mrs. Reid's
room are receiving special treats
from home this year. At the begin
ning of this school year, the parents
and guardians of these sixth graders
were asked to participate in a mini
lesson program that would run
through this school year. Each par
ticipant was asked to present one
mini-lesson in which they would
share information in an area of their
interest, talent, or expertise.
Through the mini-lesson program,
students have already taken an in
depth look at the ISS (In School Sus
pension) Program at Perquimans
Middle School with Mr. Luther Over
ton. Also, thanks to Mrs. Barbara
Gustafson and Mrs. Margaret Broth
ers, all of the sixth grade students at
PMS now have a better understand
ing of what to expect in the adoles
cent stage of growing-up, and how
better to cope with that time in their
life.
Topics of several of the mini-les
sons that the students can look for
ward to soon are "Cinquain Poetry",
"Farming the Perdue Way", and
"The Musical In and Outs About Sev
eral Instruments".
The sixth grade students and Mrs.
Reid would like to take this opportu
nity to say a special thanks to all
the moms, dads, and guardians who
have already participated in the
mini-lesson program, and to those
who will participate in the upcoming
months of this school year. We are so
appreciative of the time you take
from your busy schedule to come and
spend with us in sharing information.

week I was trying to pull some
orous aspects of life together to

of the year. The mystery sur

thought about a reporter friend
his associate and what they dis
red when they went tromping off
?ip-the marshes of the Dare County
mainland. They found a pair of dug
out canoes. This is not uncommon.
Canoes and old boats have surfaced
before. What was so special about
tjiis find was that one of the canoes
had some lettering on it. They re
turned their discovery to the depths
of the marsh until the future could
provide more time and expert assis
tance to properly assess this claim.
? The mysterie's equation lay un
solved and the day remained grey.
The hours swayed and drifted taking
do course.
Looking at the river from the front
porch I saw two squirrels. These
?small creatures had been gathering
'pecans from the trees in the yard,
iljiey moved like a nerve hit by caf
'feine. With pecan in mouth they were
jurying as many as they could as fast
<a s they could.
Wednesday, at mid-day became a
time of neutrality. The warming tem
perature told nature to wait a min

I like to shoot cans with a 22 on a slow
week-end afternoon. I think we need
to look at the many worlds around us,
especially if we can become creative
enough to see the animals side of the
picture. Again, collectively, we need
to realize where the balance is today
as compared with the past.
