Thank You!

Thank you to all of the parents, students and staff who helped out with Springfest. It was a great day for the children and adults! Springfest is a long-standing tradition and it is important to continue having these community building activities. I really do feel privledged to be part of this day at LKS! Thank you to the members of Parent Council who have worked for months on organizing the day.

Also, thank you to all the parents who came to the Volunteer Tea on Thursday after school. The treats and punch are just a small token of our appreciation for all that you do for the students and teachers at the school. We wouldn't be LKS without you!

Just a reminder that if your child has chicken-pox or lice to please contact the school. Once we know, we send home a general letter informing parents.

We practised our first of three Spring fire drills today. The students are very mindful of the importance of these practices.

The Village of Islington is hosting their "Paint the Street!" festival to be held in Michael Power Park on Saturday June 5, 2010, noon to 5 pm.

I hope you all have a great long-weekend.
