I'd like to thank everyone for their best wishes since yesterday. It's been a bit of a whirlwind for everyone. Thank you for your support.
I'd also like to recognize other staff members who will be moving from or to LKS next year. We will recognize them again in my year end letter, but I wanted to share the information this week. We will be saying goodbye to Mr. Ellerker, Ms. Kim, Ms. Shakespeare (retirement), Mr. Iceton, Mr. Lynde, and Ms. Furzon. Ms. Barry will be taking a maternity leave.
Ms. Hoffman and Ms. Perrin will be returning from maternity leave and we will be welcoming Ms. X. McCormick (teacher) and Ms. Kogas (Child and Youth Worker) who will be starting up our Intensive Support Class (Primary Autism), Ms. K. McCormick (grade 4) and Ms. Wieczorek who will be replacing Ms. Shakespeare. In addition, both our grade 6-8 band and strings itinerant teachers, Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Quintyne, will be leaving us at the end of June.
Bob Sheldon are crossing guard will be here at drop off on the 20th to say goodbye to the community. Bob has recovered from his hip surgery, but decided it was time to retire. Bob has been instrumental in keeping our children safe and has developed close bonds with the community. We will miss him. Please drop by to say goodbye.
I'd also like to thank all the Springfest volunteers who made the day so great. The weather co-operated and it was a fantastic event for everyone! A special note of thanks to those who took a lead in the organization and were instrumental in the success: Allison Needham, Kerry Collings, Julie Riach, Liza Snowden, Kristen Kidd, Elvira Fuda, Mr. Dowling, Ms. Dowling, Mr. deLeeuw, Ms. Tremaine, Mr. Cunningham, Ms. Williams, Mr. Calkowski, Ms. Thomas, Ms. Forte, Ms. Smith, Ms. Owen, Ms. Fenn and Ms. Busch.
I'd also like to say thank you to Mr. Williams and his many volunteers from Rogers. Mr. Williams worked with Mr. Littlejohn and Mr. Ross to provide a whole day of coding experiences to our grade 3-8 students on Monday. As you know, we have been exposing the students to many enrichment coding experiences over the last few years and it was evident from the students' work on Monday that their skill level keeps improving. The students said they had a great time learning. Thank you Mr. Williams.
A big thank you to Mrs. deBortoli and her committee for a fabulous Staff Appreciation lunch on Tuesday. We appreciate the support.
Please join us on Wednesday for coffee and muffins as a token of our appreciation. Students Council will be serving the treat in recognition of our wonderful volunteers.
We hope all of our grade 8 parents, friends, staff and students have a wonderful Graduation this week.
Have a great weekend everyone.
