I'd like to congratulate our Seeds of Hope Club for organizing our school-wide penny drive last week. The school donated enough pennies to provide clean water for 37 families in Africa. We are very proud of the students who belong to the Club and we thank them for their initiative!
In addition, I'd also like to say how proud I am of the entire student body as they all pitched in to clean the shale pit and school yard during our Spring Clean Up last Friday. Let's make sure we keep it up!
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. DeLongi, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Moorhead, Mrs. Doyle, Mrs. Poole and Mrs. Hodgson for organizing our LKS Parent Social last Friday night at Earth. It was wonderful seeing everyone enjoying themselves. Also, on behalf of the staff, I'd like to thank the community for donating to the silent auction as those funds help fund more resources for the school.
At our staff meeting, staff had the opportunity to discuss the article, "Rigor". The article states that students will have to possess the following skills for the 21st century: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Collaboration and Leadership, Agility and Adaptability, Initiative and Entrepreneurialism, Effective Oral and Written Communication, Accessing and Analyzing Information and Curiosity and Imagination. As a staff we reflected upon our practices and how we are preparing our own students in each of these areas. Next time we meet, staff will be sharing an artifact that demonstrates how they are teaching these very important learning skills.
Have a great weekend everyone.
