John Chen-Wing thanked LONG TIME Caledonia teacher John Chen-Wing is the guest of honour at an appreciation dinner on Dec. 17. The dinner is being organized by Scoti Stewart and the Leadership 12 class, Chen-Wing has been with Caledonia since the school opened in 1969, and is a biology teacher. But it’s for more than his teaching for which Chen- Wing is being recognized. Stewart says for longer than anyone can remember Chen-Wing has helped organize the school’s annual yearbook. He also takes on the annual chore of coor- dinating all the scholarships and awards handed out to students, including contacting businesses and picking up donations of money. “He puts so much time and effort into helping stu- dents,”’ said Stewart. Fellow teacher Allen Wootton comments on the ap- timism Chen-Wing has towards his students. ‘He never gives up on kids. He keeps at things and never gets discouraged,”’ said Wootton. So the Leadership class is organizing a big spaghetti appreciation dinner for Chen-Wing on Dec. 17. Tickets will be $7.50 and they'll include a chance at ‘‘a whole whack of door prizes.’’ Any proceeds from the dinner will be donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which Chen-Wing volunteers for, and to the Caledonia scholarship fund. Former students, parents, teachers and the com- munity are imvited to the dinner. You can purchase tickets at Caledonia school or Wayside grocery.
