I hope you all had a nice day celebrating with your family on Monday. The kids had lots of stories.
A big thank you to Mr. Bracht for organizing our wonderful grade 6-8 ski trip. Wednesday turned out to be a great day! It is a lot of work to get a ski day together and Mr. Bracht, you did a great job! Thank you to all the parents and staff who volunteered their time (and skills) also.
As many of you know, the painters have arrived upstairs. As mentioned earlier, the school received a grant to get some painting done. The prep work and some of the painting have started. By the way, the ultimate colour decision was made by some students-"Club Miami and Pumpkin Face" won!
Thank you to Mrs. Heath for organizing our Math Contests. We had over 150 students who competed in this year’s grade 6, 7 and 8 Math League contests. This year’s contest was very challenging. The Math League states that few students score as high as 28 points, and that students who are able to achieve 14 points are to be commended. This year, 43% of the students who wrote the grade 6 to 8 contests were able to achieve 14 or higher. This year’s contest winners are as follows:
Grade 6 – 1st place - Rebecca M and Will T(tie); 2nd place – Ben C; 3rd place – Thomas K, Jackson L, Turner M, and Josh VW(tie)
Grade 7 – 1st place - Ben W; 2nd place – Matthew B and Eric K(tie; 3rd place – Devon V
Grade 8 – 1st place - Emily B; 2nd place – Mykola P; 3rd place – Jane C
Award certificates for these award winners will be handed out at a future all-school assembly. LKS looks forward to hosting the Math League contests for grade 4 and 5 in mid-April.
