Many of you live in the area and attend LKS because of the sense of community and belonging that you feel. We would like to thank Jimmy, the new owner of Java Joe's, for believing in this too. Jimmy, has given us the opportunity to display our grade 8 "Still Life" at Java Joe's. On Wednesday, eight students and myself hung their artwork on the wall, and the exhibition looks fantastic. If you get a chance to go over, don't forget to take a look at the wall by the fireplace. Once again, we thank you Jimmy, as you have shown what it takes to be a good neighbour.
As we head into Spring,we are busy with staffing. Next year, we will have a school organization that looks like the following: Kindergarten Classes (6), 3 straight grade ones, 2 grade one/two splits, 2 straight grade two, 1 grade 2/3 split, 3 straight grade threes, one grade three/four split, 3 grade four classes, 3 grade five classes, 2 grade six classes, and 2 grade seven and eight classes respectively. As many of you know our organization is based on the student enrolment (about the same as last year), and the number of teachers that are allocated in each division (kindergarten, primary and junior/intermediate. Even though this is our current model, many things can occur between now and September, therefore there is always a chance of realignment in early September.
