We had the best surprise yesterday that ended up being a big highlight of my 11 years at LKS. We got a call a while ago asking if a few past graduates could come and have a quick tour of the school, something not out of the norm. Well, little did we know that the entire Class of 1952 was coming! What a wonderful surprise it was to see the group walking up to the front doors from the parking lot. When we finally realized what was happening, we got our only 3 containers of archived items out of the closet for our guests to look at and arranged for some of our grade 7 students to tour the school. They ended up staying here for an hour and half catching up with each other, current staff and students before heading to the Old Mill for lunch and "schmoozing". A grade one class even got a special treat as one of the grads, Dennis Lee, author of "Alligator Pie", read to them and signed some of his books that Ms. McGee had in the library! Jim Wyse, the organizer of the entire event, left us with a book that he made to commemorate the 65th anniversary. We will cherish it forever. It was such a great surprise and wonderful memory for me as I end my time at LKS. It reminded me how special this school and community is and will always be for many of us. Farewell!
