A big thank you to Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Heathe for organizing our Terry Fox Walk this year. We will get our official donation amount shortly. The students have really enjoyed the incentives this week; including "Super Hero" day today! I'd also like to thank Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Miller and Ms. Wardrop for helping with all the paperwork.
I'd also like to thank Mrs. Adiar, Mrs. Olson and Mrs. Zappi for attending the "Me to We" event on Tuesday with some of our intermediate students. The students really enjoyed the day hearing about the good things that are happening with Free the Children and are inspired to begin good work with our very own Seeds of Hope Club!
On Thursday, Ms. Moser, Ms. Shklar, Mr. Lanis and Mrs. Morrison attended a staff Eco-Conference where they reviewed our existing goals and preplanned for this year's club.
Today, we hosted our first Sharing Assembly for the grade 1-8 students. Some students were recognized from their teachers and peers for demonstrating "Respect". I found a good website for other suggestions that you can use at home: http://www.teachkidshow.com/teach-your-child-to-take-responsibility/.
It's been a terrific month of learning at LKS. Teacher's have been very busy completing both informal and formal assessments in order to help set up programming based on our students' needs. This week, staff also had the opportunity to work in grade teams to begin analyzing some of our data to help create goals for our School Improvement Plan for the term. As work is completed, all information will be shared at Parent Council nights and on the the website.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. It's getting cold out there!
