Congratulations to our Senior Boys' Basketball team and Senior and Junior Girls' Volleyball teams as all participated in tournaments this week. All of the students played well this week and should be proud of their efforts. Thank you to Mr. Littlejohn, Ms. Moser, Ms. Sunde, Mr. Kuru, Mr. Bracht and Mr. Ross for coaching.
I'd also like to thank Ms. Walker for being the staff advisor to our craft club this year. The kids really enjoyed this lunch-time club.
I'd like to congratulate the students on a great first term. They should be proud of their accomplishments. Our junior and intermediate students are encouraged to take some time to begin setting their second term goals. The teachers are completing their short range goals and are focusing on a moderated marking session this term. This is valuable professional development as it provides an opportunity to assess student work using common rubrics with colleagues.
We received our preliminary projected enrolment numbers for next year, and we are projected to have 641 students in September. This number has decreased over the years; we did start with 671 in 2007. As many of you know, this is the number the board uses for staffing and the ministry uses for funding.
We are looking forward to seeing our kindergarten parents at our "Early Reading Strategies" session on Wednesday night @ 6:30 p.m. in the library.
I hope you have a wonderful long weekend with your family and friends.

Volunteer Tea
Thank you to Mrs. Seitz and Mrs. Dacyshyn for organizing the Volunteer Tea on Wednesday and to all staff who provided treats. It is important to us that we recognize all the parents and family members who have volunteered their time in and out of the classrooms. LKS wouldn't look or feel the same as it does now without your involvement and we appreciate your efforts.
Thank you to all the students, especially Danielle, who either organized or participated in the LKS Idol. Twelve acts were shown and all provided great entertainment. These events help to reinforce the commitment and practise needed by the performers and it also provides an opportunity to practice being a good audience.
Good luck to all the students participating in the Track and Field meet on Monday. Currently, we have 2 buses heading to York-that translates into a lot of little athletes! Good luck in your events and remember to have fun and show good sportsmanship.
Teachers are very busy in the classroom as we wind down the year. Over the last few weeks the students have been completing year end assessments including our Spring CTBS and DRA (primary) and CASI (junior/intermediate)reading assessments. All this data is important for us to see our students' academic growth and areas that we may need to continue to work on next year. Next week, our grade 3 and 6 students will write the EQAO assessments. Results will be available early Fall. In early June we will also post our School Improvement Plan Summary. The teachers are in the processes of evaluating their goals and achievements.
In closing, the warm weather is upon us and it is time again to remind the students of appropriate clothing in these tropical conditions. We encourage the students, especially our older middle school students, to be dressed appropriately. That usually means no bra and/or underwear showing (for both girls and the boys) and nothing to0 short (i.e. skirts should be just above the knee-the girls need to apply the bending over rule when choosing a skirt- if you had to bend over to pick something up, could someone see something he/she shouldn't be seeing- and finally no stomachs please! We've had questions about spaghetti straps and the answer is always-no bra should be seen. We thank you in support of this at home. Common sense will prevail! P.S. -no tube tops!
As of yet, no 2009/2010 school calendar has been published (from the Board)-let's hope for next week.
