We had some great speakers at the school this week. On Monday, the grade 8 students and staff had the pleasure of listening to and speaking with Mrs. Dellandrea, an LKS mom and Crown Attorney, specializing in child exploitation on the Internet. We've hosted this talk for three years at the senior level, and it always proves to be real and practical for the students.
On Tuesday night, we hosted a parent/staff information night on Eating Disorders. I really want to say thanks to the parents and staff who attended and I thank you for our conversations. If you are in need of more information or support, please call the National Eating Disorders Information Center at 416-340-4156.
Next Wednesday, our Seeds of Hope members will be taking a "Vow of Silence" to help raise awareness and funds to the same village where our school was built. We will be helping with medical supplies this year. We are in our third year commitment. A club like this is so important, as it continues to raise our social consciousness. Thank you to Mrs. Adiar, Mrs. Zappi and Mrs. Olson for your leadership.
Hope to see you at tomorrow night's Parent Council social. A big thank you to Kim DeLonghi, Dianne Quintal, Kristi Karens and Freya Painting for keeping us social.
