March Break

On Tuesday, the students in Mr. Blais class, along with Mrs. Zappi's and Mrs. Taylor's classes participated in our SW1 FOS Arts Festival at Islington P.S. The students performed beautifully and the pieces chosen by Ms. Hoffman were quite amazing. Overall, it was a great experience for the kids as we were able to see different schools sing and dance. We are looking forward to next year's event.

On the same day, some of our grade 7 & 8 students attended an ECOSCHOOLS Conference with Ms. Perry and Mr. Mclean. The students participated in some interactive workshops and apparently got some great ideas that could be implemented at LKS next year!

We did get official notification that the 2009-2010 calendar has been approved. The first day of school will be Sept 8th for all students. Sept 2nd and 3rd will be Professional Activity Days for staff.

Finally, we hope everyone enjoys their holiday. Looking forward to seeing you all back on the 23rd.
