What a great day for our Terry Fox Run. We certainly were given a wonderful fall day for such an important event in the community. I really look forward to this day as it brings us together as a community; it is stunning to see everyone walking through the streets...and for a great cause. I know we have raised close to $20 000 this year. We all should be proud of that. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped to keep our little ones safe today, and to our teacher Mrs. Gibson and our parent helper Mrs. D'Angelo for counting all our donations.
Just a reminder that all grade 1-3 cross country runners are to meet in the gym on Tuesday morning so we can catch our 9:00 bus. Our grade one girls race at 9:45 and we don't want them to miss the start. Good luck everyone!
Just a reminder that if you are looking to volunteer, we are really desperate in Kiss and Ride. Nori Ayer, a parent volunteer, has taken on the job of organizing this very important process at LKS and she told me today that she doesn't have enough parents to help out this month. If you could possibly help out, even a day, please see her at the Kiss and Ride. Unfortunately, if we don't get the help, no one will be there to open those car doors. Thank you in advance.
Pizza Days are set and Kristine Laco, another parent volunteer, will be sending home that information shortly. The kids really love these lunches, as do those adults who don't have to pack a lunch for the day!
Trish Wardrop, another LKS mom, has taken on the job of organizing our ACORN CARD Fundraiser. We started this last year, and it was a big success. Basically, the kids make cards and then they are published. If you want to order your child's artwork ( I think there are more than just cards this year), they will be ready for the holiday season...they make great gifts.
This is a message from our new Parent Council President, Sue Pritchard: Do you want to make a difference in your child’s school? If so, consider joining one of the many parent council committees. From Athletics to Community Outreach to Springfest (and many others), there is an opportunity to get involved and help enrich your child’s LKS experience. Most committees are looking for additional members (and great ideas) but there are a few specific areas that we especially need help with: LINK (digital yearbook), Springfest Co-Chair (to work with Jody Greifenberger) and Silent Auction Chair for Springfest. If any of these peak your interest or you are interested in another committee, please contact Sue Pritchard at ds_pritchard@msn.com or 416-232-2611.
