This was a very busy week as we continued with our studies and experienced more heavy snowfalls. It really has been great to see the kids have such a fun time outside at lunch and recess. Many of our staff have skated with the kids and enjoyed some winter fun in the Shalepit.The 100th day was celebrated in our primary division and the kids really had fun with these learning acitivities!
On the 26th, from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm, Debbie Gordon, will be presenting a parent workshop on the "Wild, Wild, Web"! Her workshop will explore the world of the internet seen through the eyes of a teenager and preteen. We sent a flyer home with the kids in grades 4-8. If you think you are going to attend, please tell your classroom teacher so we get a sense of the number of parents coming. If we have room, we will open it up to the younger grades also, although the content is probably more applicable to the parents with older children.
We have a great week ahead:
11th-Grade 8 classes have a presentation from Debbie Gordon, from Mediacs, on the internet, body image and self-esteem; Parent Council @ 7:30 p.m.

P.S. There was a spelling mistake on our printed Newsletter. We apologize as our editing team, consisting of three people, didn't catch it! Just a reminder that future Newsletters will be posted on the LKS website only. There will be a few hard copies in the office if you need them. Being an EcoSchool, we are trying to cut down on paper.
