May 27th, 2011

A big thank you to all the parents who organized this year's Springfest. Months of planning went into another successful event on Saturday. Springfest has been a long tradition at LKS and the kids look forward to it every year. A special thank you to Mrs. Kidd and Mrs. Fuda for your efforts as co-chairs.

We had a couple of incidents in the past week that you should know about. First, another car was broken into at lunch during pick up. Just a quick reminder not to leave any valuables in your car if parked around the school. The burglaries are quick and easy for these "purse snatchers". Secondly, please continue to review street proofing tips with your children if a stranger approaches them on the street. There have been some reporting of stopping some of the kids in our neighbourhood and south of Lakeshore.

Please remember that there is no school tomorrow (PA Day) and Monday (Victoria Day). Staff are at workshops, evaluating and/or team planning. I hope you have a great long weekend with your friends and family.
