Well, we got through the day without any rain-so far. As an elementary principal, weather can play a major impact on our day, so I'm thankful!
A big thank you to our Huddle Up committee, along with Ms. Dacyshyn, Mr. Iceton, Mrs. Shklar and Ms. Chandra. The committee worked with the Toronto Argos to help promote a positive environment and teamwork in the school. It provided a great leadership opportunity for the kids. A big thank you to Mr. Copeland, an LKS parent and President and CEO of the Toronto Argonauts, who gave us this enriching experience.
I also wanted to let you know that the Board has approved our Turf Project. Last year, we completed a proposal to remove the portable and lay turf in the existing "lake". If you've been at the school for any length of time, you know that the grass never grows in that area and it ends up useless space that often floods during the year.
So far, our steering committee consists of myself, Mrs. Needham (Parent Council Co-Chair), Mrs. Collings (Parent Council Co-Chair) and Claire Cunningham (Grade 8 Student). The project has to be covered by donations with no expense to TDSB. Hence, we are in need of a fundraising committee to join us. We will gather some donations over the next year through local fundraising, but we will need to have corporate sponsors.
The initial cost, approximately $5000, has been covered through Parent Council funds. This will pay for the topographic survey and Landscape Architect. Once the designs are finalized, we will have a clear understanding of the overall cost of the project and amount we need to raise.
We are seeking community members who would be willing to be on the Fundraising Committee. We will need input on the actual fundraising plan, timelines, letters, contacts etc. If you think you could contribute to this very important campaign, can you please email me at kelly.caddel@tdsb.on.ca. We are hoping to have our fundraising committee in place and initial plan formed by end of school year. We would appreciate all assistance.
