Today, we wished Ms. Van Schoor good wishes as she will be having a new baby girl pretty soon. We welcome Mrs. Champgane to 2B for the remainder of the year. Mrs. Champgane has been at LKS for years and is quite familiar with end of year routines.

Thank you to all the students who participated in our Track and Field events today. It was a cold day to be outside all day. Congratulations to all of the students who tried their best, and a special note to those who will be moving to the next round. An additional congratulations to all of our athletes on the Ultimate Frisbee and soccer teams as they played many of their first games this week.

Thank you to Mrs. McGee and the parent volunteers who helped organize another successful Book Fair. The students really enjoy the book fairs and the proceeds are always helpful when booking future author visits and literacy events.

A final thank you to Mr. Samatowka for organizing our drumming performance for our grade 7 & 8 classes. The performance was spectacular; I'm sure our drummers were inspired!

The character trait for June is Perseverance. We hope that your family will have discussions around this very important trait.

Good luck to our grade 3 and 6 students as they begin EQAO next week. We hope to see you at our Spring Concerts next week.
