Last Day

What a magical last day it was at LKS. Our Lunch on the Lawn was interesting as mother nature decided to surprise us with some heavy showers. Oh well, we managed to picnic in various areas throughout the school. It was still a nice time together.

What a wonderful year end assembly we had together. We celebrated our students' achievements once again and it was amazing to see how many received winnits and additional pins, pens and crests (grade 6-8). I love to see the students taking advantage of all the activities LKS has to offer.

A final goodbye was said to our support staff who will no longer be with us as classroom assistants. We were very sad to say goodbye to Mrs. Koch, Mrs. Silva and Mrs. Mills. In addition, we are so sad to see both Mr. Page and Mrs. Missios leaving LKS. The kids, staff and parents who attended gave warm, heartfelt accolades to both as final goodbyes were expressed. We are going to miss them both dearly. Thank you to all the parents who contributed year end gifts to all the staff!

As we wrap up the year, we also say goodbye to Ms. Malobabic. We just found out yesterday that she has accepted a teaching position at another school. We are going to miss Ms. Malobabic's contributions both inside her classroom and to the school at large. She has spent many hours working on the cookbook, Wizard of Oz, Literacy Book Room and Parent Council to say the least.

Finally, I am so proud to be here at LKS. What a great year we have had together. I wish you all a happy summer and look forward to September 8th when we see you all again.
