Congratulations to our Jr. Girl's Soccer team and Mr. Ourique as they have advanced to the semi-finals in a couple of weeks. You should be so proud of yourselves girls.
I also want to thank Mr. Samotowka and Mrs. Kimm for taking our grade 7s Strings to Humber Valley on Monday for enrichment music classes. This was a first for LKS and it was a great experience.
Our grade 3 students loved Black Creek this week; thanks to all of the parent volunteers and Mrs. Zappi, Ms. Hoffman, Ms. Walker, Ms. Najder and Mrs. Heath.
I'd also like to thank Mr. Bracht for organizing the Aussie X program. All of the students from K-8 participated in the program and it was fabulous to watch them learn new skills.
The grade 6 classes participated in science classes with Scientist in the School this week. They were studying "Critters" and classification systems.
A big thank you to Parent Council and you for funding many of the enrichment activities this week like Aussie X and Scientists. These experiences build the students' skills and knowledge base.
A big thank you to all the parents, students and staff who participated in the Springfest organization. The weather finally co-operated and the kids had a blast. A big thanks to our committee leads: Mrs. Kidd, Mrs. Fuda, Mrs. Riach, Mrs. Haslam, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Cunningham, Mrs. Needham, Mrs. Maitland. Another thanks to Mrs. Heaps, Mrs. Doyle, Mrs. Moorehead, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Needham and Mrs. Caruba-Gomes for organizing the amazing Dinner Dance this year. Both of these events are not only big fundraisers, but create a sense of community.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I hope to see you on Wednesday night for our parent workshop on how to talk to your kids about growth and development.

As many of you know, talks have begun between ETFO (Elementary Teachers Federation)and the government resulting in a strike action as of Monday. During the strike, please know that student safety and learning continue to be our focus. When we get new information from the Board, we will send it to you. Please continue to check the grade parent emails, my blog and the TDSB website for information.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I hope to see you on Wednesday night for our parent workshop on how to talk to your kids about growth and development.
