The photo above shows Chef John Hopley, owner of
Pam's Bakery & Deli in the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre, during one day in June
2004 spending a few wonderful hours at St. Therese School in
Val Therese. The purpose of his return to school was to provide a BBQ
lunch for the more than 200 students and staff. Hopley, shown providing
Madam Hess, Acting Principal with one of his delicious hot dogs, throughly
enjoyed the experience.
"It was a fantastic time. We served over 200 meals in no time at all
and the kids simply loved it," he commented.
The meal consisted of hot dogs, caesar salad and a pop. Madam Hess' Grade
6 Class was responsible for preparing the salads and helping distribute
the food. Everything was donated by a group of merchants from the Hanmer
Valley Shopping Centre, including: Pam's Bakery & Deli; The Gallery
& Brew Shop; Billie Jean's; The Hanmer Bargain Outlet; Desjardins'
Food Basics, and; Val Mazzuca, owner of the mall. On top of the food, the group also donated the BBQ to the school to be
used as they see fit. |

| FRUIT-KABOBS WERE THE ORDER OF THE DAY IN
2005 WHEN JOHN CAME VISITING |

|
| John Hopley, owner of Pam's Deli, is shown in 2005 helping
students prepare delicious fruit-kabobs for recess the next day. The
treats were prepared by Madam Louella Hess' Grade 6 class. |

| Madam Hess is shown with several of her students cleaning
utensils at the sink. |
|
|
| All of the students had their particular jobs and were very
intent on "doing it right" in order to receive the approval of
Chef John. |

| The containers in the front of the photo above contain all
of the cut up pieces of fruit that will be put on skewers for the entire
student population the next morning at recess. |

|
| John Hopley, Principal, Lucie Hurtubise, and Madam Louella
Hess enjoy a quiet moment to reflect on the experience being provided to
the children. For Louella, it was a bitter sweet moment since this is her
final year of a 36 year career. She will be retiring at the end of June
2005. It was also quite a moment for Lucie, since she would be saying good
bye to her former teacher; Madam Hess taught Lucie in Grade 2. For John,
he was already looking forward to 2006 when he would return again to
continue the tradition. |
