Congratulations to our Jr Girls Softball team for placing 2nd in the City Finals and to our Sr and Jr Boys for winning the City Finals and West Championship games respectfully. Our football teams did equally well with our Sr Boys placing 1st in the City Finals and our Sr and Jr Girls winning the West Championships. Good luck next week teams! I apologize to Dylan, one of our grade 6 cross country runners, as I forgot to mention that he came in 5th at the City Finals last week-good job Dylan!
With regards to H1N1, our school is continuing to take a number of precautionary steps including:
-Ensuring soap and water is available for hand washing (as well as hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available);
-Educating students and staff on proper hand washing, and coughing and sneezing etiquette;
-Frequently cleaning commonly touched surfaces/items; and
-Watching for signs and symptoms of influenza-like illness.
To protect your family, Toronto Public Health suggests the following things you and your children can do to help avoid the flu:
-Wash or sanitize your hands frequently and thoroughly;
-Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or a tissue, not your hand;
-Get an H1N1 vaccine inoculation;
-Stay home if you are ill; and
-Let your school know the reason for your child’s absence
As many of you know, Mme Freitas is off on a medical leave and probably won't return until her baby is born. We are pleased to welcome Mrs. Alam who will be teaching our grade 6-8 French classes. Mrs. Alam will be with us until June.
If you are donating to UNICEF, please bring in your envelope to the office or classroom teacher by November 8th. Thank you.
Thanks for a great Hallowe'en Parade kids-you looked great!I hope you have fun tomorrow night-be safe!

Spirit Day at LKS
A big thank you to Student Council for organizing our first Spirit Day. It was great to see so many students participate. Then again, how bad can it be rolling out of bed and coming to school in your pajamas! We will forever support the kids' effort when organizing these events because we want to always encourage their leadership skills and community involvement. We are looking forward to the Grade 8 Haunted House next Friday also!
Congratulations to our Cross Country Team as they had a good showing at the finals. We took 30 kids on Thursday and all should be congratulated on their efforts over the last two months of training. A special note of recognition to our grade 2 girls who placed first across the city and for the runners who placed within the top ten-namely Mary (grade one-placing 8th), Robert (grade two-placing 2nd), Megan and Amelia (grade -placing 5th and 6th respectfully) and Andrew (grade 4-placing 4th). All the team will be recognized at the Athletic Assembly at the end of the term. Furthermore, more praise goes out to our Jr and Sr Boys' and Sr Girls' Football teams as they head to the Conference Finals next week and to the Jr Girls', and Jr and Sr Boys' Softball teams as they compete in the City Finals also! The winning spirit continues on at LKS!
On a "literary" note-what a treat to host Mr. Eric Walters, a favourite author of the kids, on Wednesday. The kids really enjoy a closer look into his characters and books. We also learned of his future plans with his orphanage and his goodwill project.
Just a reminder that our IEP (Individual Education Plans) for approximately 80 of students went home this week. We very much honour the process of writing the IEPs, including getting parent consultation, because we truly want to give all of our students the best programs and equal opportunity to learn to the best of their abilities. A note of thanks to our special education teachers who completed the new IEPs for the year using the new web-based process. It was a lot of work, but well worth it as the IEPs are more easily accessible and easier to use. A special thanks to Mrs. Dacyshyn and Mrs. Heath for being so instrumental in this new process. It certainly has been a learning curve for our teachers. You did a great job! Last year's Spec Ed Blog is under construction and will be returning shortly!
Thank you to all the parents who volunteered at Pizza Lunch! A great lunch for a dreary day! Have a nice weekend everyone!

VOTE FOR BOB!
OCTOBER CHARACTER TRAIT: RESPONSIBILITY
FedEx Express Canada and Safe Kids Canada have launched the second annual Crossing Guard contest. We are proud to support and nominate our crossing guard, Bob Shelton. Mr. Shelton is a wonderful addition to our community as he is a very conscientious person whose main focus is to keep our children safe. In addition, he knows the importance of a warm greeting first thing in the morning! If you would like to nominate Bob, please visit www.safekidscanada.ca for more information.
What a great week for learning at LKS! We were pleased to have Debbie Gordon from Mediacs present to our grade 6 classes on current issues, including safety, around the "Wild Wild Web"! and to our grade 8 classes on self image and the web. Each year, Debbie brings current and valuable information with the hopes of building media savvy children. We thank Parent Council for contributing funds to these very important initiatives.
Debbie's presentation is one of many that we have incorporated into the school's safety plan. Each year, our Safety Committee creates a safety plan as part of our school improvement plan. One of our goals is to present topics that are relevant to each grade. All grade teams/committees will be completing the final plan at the end of October and we will again be presenting it to Parent Council either at the November or December meeting.
If you have any used books (JK - Grade 8) or winter clothing that you're clearing from your home, please consider donating them -- the LKS Literacy and Community Outreach Committees are collecting them for our sister school, 20th Street (some books will go to LKS). Used books and clothing may be dropped off in collection bags / bins by the south-west stairs until November 6th.
A big congratulations to our Cross Country Team. Thirty runners will be moving on to the City Finals on the 22nd. A special congratulations is extended to the grade 2 girls and boys who placed 1st, and to the grade 6 boys and grade 7 girls who placed 3rd!
Another congratulations goes out to our Junior/Senior Boys' and Girls' Softball teams and Senior Boys' and Girls' Football Teams as they too are heading to the Finals over the next two weeks! Good Luck!
We are very pleased to update you on our playground renovation. The architects have almost completed the drawings and the project has gone out for quotes. The Board is fully committed to this project and we couldn't be happier. Initial work will likely begin in late fall/early winter.

From Parent Council:
Our Fall Fundraiser Magazine Campaign has begun. By now, your child will have brought home a QSP package. We are asking that you place your orders personal and gift orders on line if possible. You can send gift subscriptions for Christmas as well. The fundraiser will run until October 14th, but any online orders after that will still benefit our school. Go to www.qsp.ca and enter the school code 9316. This years capital campaign includes Numeracy supplies, a smartboard, and special ed laptops. Your support is appreciated. Any questions, contact Janet Robertson at janet@robertson-mail.com. Thanks.
Congratulations to all our softball teams as most have played over the last couple of weeks. Our Junior Girls, Junior Boys and Senior Boys will all be moving on to the next stage-keep up the team spirit!
Just a reminder to the grade 1-3 students who qualified for the West Conference on Tuesday the 13th, to please meet in the gym between 8:30-8:45 so we can get the grade one girls to the race on time. All the kids will be taking the bus back and forth from the meet with the hopes the little ones (1-3) get back before lunch again.
As some of you know, Mrs. Armin (our grade 6-8 strings teacher)moved to another school last week. The board has placed Mr. Goldberg in her position. Mr. Goldberg has met most of the children already and we welcome him to LKS. Mr. Samatowka (our band teacher) already knows Mr. Goldberg so a connection has already been made to make the transition a bit easier. Mrs. Armin expressed her gratitude and best wishes to the community.
Do you believe that we are only 5 weeks away from the Report Cards going home? If you have any or questions about your child's progress, please do not hesitate to ask at this point. We truly believe that good communication between home and school is one of the most important aspects of a child's education.

Cross Country
What a great day for running! We are so proud of all the kids who came to the meet today. You tried hard and had fun! We will hopefully find out who qualifies for the October 13th meet tomorrow. Letters will be sent home to parents also. There will be a practice on the 8th and 9th for those running on the 13th. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered today. We couldn't have done it without you!

Running for Terry!
What a great day for our Terry Fox Run. We certainly were given a wonderful fall day for such an important event in the community. I really look forward to this day as it brings us together as a community; it is stunning to see everyone walking through the streets...and for a great cause. I know we have raised close to $20 000 this year. We all should be proud of that. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped to keep our little ones safe today, and to our teacher Mrs. Gibson and our parent helper Mrs. D'Angelo for counting all our donations.
Just a reminder that all grade 1-3 cross country runners are to meet in the gym on Tuesday morning so we can catch our 9:00 bus. Our grade one girls race at 9:45 and we don't want them to miss the start. Good luck everyone!
Just a reminder that if you are looking to volunteer, we are really desperate in Kiss and Ride. Nori Ayer, a parent volunteer, has taken on the job of organizing this very important process at LKS and she told me today that she doesn't have enough parents to help out this month. If you could possibly help out, even a day, please see her at the Kiss and Ride. Unfortunately, if we don't get the help, no one will be there to open those car doors. Thank you in advance.
Pizza Days are set and Kristine Laco, another parent volunteer, will be sending home that information shortly. The kids really love these lunches, as do those adults who don't have to pack a lunch for the day!
Trish Wardrop, another LKS mom, has taken on the job of organizing our ACORN CARD Fundraiser. We started this last year, and it was a big success. Basically, the kids make cards and then they are published. If you want to order your child's artwork ( I think there are more than just cards this year), they will be ready for the holiday season...they make great gifts.
This is a message from our new Parent Council President, Sue Pritchard: Do you want to make a difference in your child’s school? If so, consider joining one of the many parent council committees. From Athletics to Community Outreach to Springfest (and many others), there is an opportunity to get involved and help enrich your child’s LKS experience. Most committees are looking for additional members (and great ideas) but there are a few specific areas that we especially need help with: LINK (digital yearbook), Springfest Co-Chair (to work with Jody Greifenberger) and Silent Auction Chair for Springfest. If any of these peak your interest or you are interested in another committee, please contact Sue Pritchard at ds_pritchard@msn.com or 416-232-2611.
