We had a very interesting week at LKS beginning with our long awaited production of Beauty and the Beast. We congratulate all those involved including the students, staff and parent volunteers. It was so entertaining and the kids had such a great time. Thank you for supporting this very large endeavor.
Springfest is Going GREEN!!
-------------------------------------
Be sure to keep Saturday May 15th free from 10am-2pm for the annual LKS Springfest Celebration. In keeping with our eco-theme, Springfest is going green....we're aiming for less packaging, less waste, and more fun for everyone!
The Silent Auction will publish all items (including pictures!!) on an online blog instead of sending out the paper catalogue. Stay tuned for the blog address in the next few weeks.....
The ever-popular Tombola game will still be the same, we're just adding some new twists! Instead of buying all those tombola's, we are asking parents to instead purchase one or more $5 tombola leaves. Each classroom will display their leaves on a tree and the class with the most leaves will still win the traditional pizza lunch. Half of the money collected will go directly to the school, and the other half will help buy grand prizes for the game. Remember to bring your own coffee mug and tote bag to carry all your goodies, and please use the recycling bins on site.
Stay tuned for more info coming your way soon! Questions? Contact:
Dj.greifenberger@sympatico.ca for Springfest, and jilltyndall@gmail.com for Tombola.
Finally, as some of you may know already, some of our families in the community have suffered losses recently as close family members have passed away. Yesterday we attended a funeral for the mother of one of our students. It is during these times we really do have to lean on each other and be as supportive as we can. Our thoughts continue to be with our families who are in similar situations currently.
We are looking forward to all the earth celebrations next week. Once again our Eco Committee has done a fabulous job of bringing in activities for the kids to continue to bring awareness and education to the school community. Please look for their calendar of activities on our website.
Looking forward to seeing you at the LKS Fundraising Gala on Saturday night.
