The Safety reps will be really busy on Monday and Tuesday as they will be cooking pancakes for all the classes to celebrate Pancake Tuesday. We thought this would be a great community building activity at LKS! Just a reminder to all the students that your "Fairness" poems are due at the end of the week.
We would like to extend our thank you to Ms. Armin and Mr. Samotowka for taking all the grade 7 & 8 students to the Kiwanis Music Festival this year. For those of you who do not know, Ms. Armin teaches strings to our grade 6-8 students and Mr. Samotowka teaches band. Both are instrumental music teachers assigned to a variety of schools in our area. Thank you for the extra effort!
At the last parent council meeting, someone asked if the portable was ever inspected. The answer is yes. Our portable was erected in 2007, and will be inspected in the summer of 2009. So far there are no areas of concern.
At the meeting we also discussed our enrolment. We should be getting our final projected enrolment over the next month. So far, it looks like we will have approximately 720 students, down 20 from our current enrolment. Even though we are slightly down, we are still "closed' for optional attendance. That means that we do not accept registrations outside our catchment area. Our staffing process will begin shortly.
