October 23, 2010

We'd like to thank all the parents who have come out to support the many sports teams that have had tournaments and finals over the last couple of weeks. The students and staff really appreciate a cheering audience. Congratulations to all the students for putting your best foot forward. Whether you win or lose, you always show a positive LKS spirit!

Congratulations to all the students who ran for Student Council. It takes a lot of confidence to give a speech in front of your peers, and you all did a great job. Good luck to the candidates.

Thank you again, to Mrs. Laco for organizing our Pizza Lunches. The students really enjoyed their lunches today!

Today we celebrated the Character Trait of Responsibility at our Sharing Assemblies. This is a trait that can be understood from Kindergarten to Grade 8 and it is evident that we have many LKS students who display this trait. Please follow up with the discussion of responsibility at home.

Next week we are so excited to be celebrating Hallowe'en. We invite you to participate in our Parade. We will start around 9:15 a.m. The grade 8 Haunted House is on the 28th.
