Congratulations to our Jr Girls Softball team for placing 2nd in the City Finals and to our Sr and Jr Boys for winning the City Finals and West Championship games respectfully. Our football teams did equally well with our Sr Boys placing 1st in the City Finals and our Sr and Jr Girls winning the West Championships. Good luck next week teams! I apologize to Dylan, one of our grade 6 cross country runners, as I forgot to mention that he came in 5th at the City Finals last week-good job Dylan!
With regards to H1N1, our school is continuing to take a number of precautionary steps including:
-Ensuring soap and water is available for hand washing (as well as hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available);
-Educating students and staff on proper hand washing, and coughing and sneezing etiquette;
-Frequently cleaning commonly touched surfaces/items; and
-Watching for signs and symptoms of influenza-like illness.
To protect your family, Toronto Public Health suggests the following things you and your children can do to help avoid the flu:
-Wash or sanitize your hands frequently and thoroughly;
-Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or a tissue, not your hand;
-Get an H1N1 vaccine inoculation;
-Stay home if you are ill; and
-Let your school know the reason for your child’s absence
As many of you know, Mme Freitas is off on a medical leave and probably won't return until her baby is born. We are pleased to welcome Mrs. Alam who will be teaching our grade 6-8 French classes. Mrs. Alam will be with us until June.
If you are donating to UNICEF, please bring in your envelope to the office or classroom teacher by November 8th. Thank you.

WELCOME BACK!
Welcome to the new school year everyone! I had a great summer and hope that you did too!
Over the summer, we did have some staff changes to the primary team. Mrs. Mandel has replaced Mrs. Malobabic in grade 2; Mrs. Caligiuri will be taking over Mrs. Mandel's class in the morning (Room 172). Mrs. Macpherson (newly hired) will be taking over Mrs. Caligiuri's afternoon kindergarten class. The kids will now move from Room 166 to 172. Mrs. Macpherson will also take over Mrs. Caligiuri's class until she returns from her maternity leave. We are very happy to have Mrs. Macpherson at LKS as she has years of experience and a wide breadth of knowledge.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 8th. Entry time is regularly at 8:55 a.m., but the kids should come a bit earlier the first day. Staff will be outside helping them get into the right lines!
We will be sending home a print newsletter and one form for parent signatures on Tuesday. All the September forms are posted on the website. If you need a hard copy of any material, we have extras in the office.
As school begins, we would also like to direct you to the website for a letter from our new director, Chris Spence, on H1N1. We want you to know that we take this very seriously as we don't want anyone to get sick, including students, parents and staff. We will continue to advocate proper hand washing with the kids and would appreciate it if follow-up could happen at home. Other things to consider would be throwing away tissues, sneezing into your sleeve if you don't have a tissue, avoid sharing drinks and cleaning surface areas. We will also be addressing this with our caretaking staff. We will continue to provide soap and cleaning the washrooms and fountains. We appreciate your support in advance.
Have a great weekend!
