I'd like to thank Mr. Littlejohn and Mr. Ross for coaching all the badminton teams over the last two weeks. A big congratulations to all of the students who participated in the tournaments. You did such a great job on the court. A special thanks to the grade 5 teams as they brought home another first place banner for the gym!
I'd also like to thank Mr. Bracht and Mrs. Shklar for organizing the track and field this year. In addition, a special thanks to Ms. Sunde, Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Blais, Mrs. Younger, Mr. Ross, Mrs. Raymond, Mrs. Chandra, Mr. Littlejohn and Mrs. Hall for running morning practices. It takes a lot of staff to run all of the events at LKS!
Yesterday, Ms. Dacyshyn, Ms. Young and myself attended a conference on "Youth Suicidal Behaviour and Schools". We had the privilege of listening to Dr. David Miller, Associate Professor of School Psychology, at the University of Albany on current best practices in prevention, intervention, an postvention. Unfortunately, statistics show an increase in the rate of youth suicide at both the high school and middle school level and Boards of Education, including TDSB, are beginning to address these very important issues under their Mental Health Strategy.
Finally, thank you to all of our parents who pitched in to organize Springfest this year, and to our sponsors and contributors to the event. We can't wait until tomorrow!
