We had a very busy week with our sports teams. Congratulations to our junior boys and girls soccer teams, our track and field finalists, and our ultimate Frisbee and cricket teams. All of our teams made LKS proud for displaying excellent sportsmanship and skill; we will be recognizing your efforts at the Athletic Assembly next week. Thank you to Mr. Kuru, Ms. Walker, Mr. Bracht, Mrs. Hall, Mr. Ourique, and Mr. Ross for your commitment to coaching.

Thanks to all of the parents and families who attended our grade 3 pioneer open houses. What a wonderful opportunity to really see what the students have learned this term. It was an amazing culminating activity to solidify their skills and knowledge.

Our grade 3-8 students completed our spring CTBS. Overall they scored very well in reading, language and math; all grades have progressed from the fall. On Monday, we will post a letter on our website under DATA if you want specific information.

We hosted our volunteer tea yesterday, and it was nice seeing so many people. Our staff would like to thank all of our volunteers for your interest and support. We would not be LKS without you. If you did not receive your token of appreciation, please make sure you pick it up on Mrs. Sheppard's desk. Thanks to Mrs. Dacyshyn, Mrs. Younger, Mrs. Seitz and Mrs. Heath for organizing our celebration.

Have a wonderful weekend celebrating Father's Day!
