Snow Sculpture

"For the fourth year in a row the students of Bell Ewart Public School won the Innisfil Winterama snow sculpture competition. This year the school's 90 students decided to immortalize Mother Goose and two of her nursery rhymes in snow. The students constructed a huge goose, Humpty Dumpty and his wall and Jack B. Nimble and his candlestick. These seven students were co-ordinators of the projects: Tracy Wilson, Jody Kerr, Leslie Richardson, Barb Haddock, Richard Anderson, Paul Morris and Kim Ferrier."
