We are very excited to be hosting an educational day for both parents and students at LKS to bring more awareness surrounding life-threatening allergies. I would like to thank Mrs. Young, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Perry for organizing our assemblies and demonstration tables for parents. The following is a message from the committee:
Could YOU save a life? Does your child or anyone you know suffer from a life-threatening allergy? Come join Anaphylaxis Canada at LKS on Friday, February 26th for a morning of Allergy Alert Education. You will learn how to recognize the physical symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction and how to help prevent a reaction in order to keep LKS allergic children safe.
From Mrs. Forte, our guidance counselor...On Monday February 1, 2010, 820 grade 8 students descended upon Lakeshore Collegiate to experience the first ever Family of Schools Career Day! Topics included plumbers, lawyers, paramedics, veterinarians, fire fighters, arborists, insurance, sales, stunt men, social workers, canine education officers, military reservists, fruit importers and many more. Students were treated to inside knowledge from a variety of career pathways, including: what a typical day is like, the positives and negatives of specific careers and the variety of pathways one can take within a field of work. Students also had the opportunity to hear from two different motivational speakers who encouraged them to go for their dreams, believe in themselves and work hard to achieve success.
Once again, congratulations to Mr. Mclean on his move as vice-principal to Second Steet. We will miss him. We welcome Mr. Chris Lanis as our new vice-principal. Please see our website (under noticees) to read a letter regarding the move from our superintendent, Jim Spyropoulos.
