This week, we will be celebrating Family Literacy Day on the 25th with author Cheryl Thorton (http://cherylthornton.com/), Cheryl will be presenting to our students throughout the day. Cheryl has been with us a few times, and the students tend to enjoy her presentations. We hope you enjoy the "real" literacy day on the 27th (school PA day). Please go to the following website for more activities to do with your family: http://abclifeliteracy.ca/family-literacy-day. Thank you to Mrs. McGee and Mrs. Mayhew for organizing these events. A special thanks to Ms. Wardrop for organizing our Chapters Night on Feb 1st.
We hope to see many of you on the 24th for our parent information night. Please join us in the library @ 7:00 p.m. Ironically, I read an article this week and saw a television show advertised on "Bubble Wrapped Children"- a new term for me. Basically, health professionals are seeing a growing number of child anxiety cases related to the stress of over-protected children. Children are not being given the chance to take risks and think independently, subsequently not learning how to cope with failure, leading to a high level of anxiety over time. Hopefully, we can talk about this on Tuesday.
Arts Express pamphlets are in the office. They are offering "Glee Time" again. This is an after school drama club run by a private group. More pamphlets from a variety of groups can also be found in the stand by the office.

Congratulations to our Junior Girls' BB team as they placed 2nd in the City Finals. The first City Basketball Banner for the gym!
Today, we celebrated our "Kindness and Caring" recipients at our Sharing Assemblies. A group from our dance club also performed and it was fabulous! We were also honoured to listen to Jim Chochrane, a former student of LKS, speak about Down Syndrome. It was an honour having Jim speak to all of the students. Please have a follow-up discussion at home about his talk; the kids were fabulous listeners.
I really hope everyone has a great holiday celebrating with family and friends. I am so proud to be at Lambton-Kingsway and I appreciate the support you have given the staff over the term. Your children are so special and we are proud of their accomplishments. They make coming to LKS a treat every day! Cheers.

I would like to thank the community for your generous gifts and warm wishes to Stonegate. Today, the Student Council reps collected all the baskets, and helped Mrs. Saha and her many parent volunteers load and unload the vans. This is such a great project as it continues to instill the values of Kindness and Caring. The students really love this project!
I'd also like to thank Ms. Walker and her class for organizing our food drive for Second Harvest. Another great success!
Another thanks for attending our concerts this year. The student performances were held on Tuesday, Wednesay and Thursday and they certainly got us in the spirit of the holidays. Let us never forget the importance of music, dance and the Arts in general. The students continue to aquire knowledge and skill in these areas at LKS! Thank you to the community and Parent Council as many of our instruments are purchased through your funds. Thanks to Ms. Hoffman, Mrs. McGee, Mr. Samotowka and Mr. Goldberg for organizing the concerts and preparing the students for the performances. Thank you also to Mr. Ourique as he was the staff advisor to our dance group. Finally, thank you to Mrs. Greifenberger for helping with the decorations.

We had some great speakers at the school this week. On Monday, the grade 8 students and staff had the pleasure of listening to and speaking with Mrs. Dellandrea, an LKS mom and Crown Attorney, specializing in child exploitation on the Internet. We've hosted this talk for three years at the senior level, and it always proves to be real and practical for the students.
On Tuesday night, we hosted a parent/staff information night on Eating Disorders. I really want to say thanks to the parents and staff who attended and I thank you for our conversations. If you are in need of more information or support, please call the National Eating Disorders Information Center at 416-340-4156.
Next Wednesday, our Seeds of Hope members will be taking a "Vow of Silence" to help raise awareness and funds to the same village where our school was built. We will be helping with medical supplies this year. We are in our third year commitment. A club like this is so important, as it continues to raise our social consciousness. Thank you to Mrs. Adiar, Mrs. Zappi and Mrs. Olson for your leadership.
Hope to see you at tomorrow night's Parent Council social. A big thank you to Kim DeLonghi, Dianne Quintal, Kristi Karens and Freya Painting for keeping us social.

We've all had a busy week as teachers have completed report cards and parent/teacher interviews have been conducted over the last few days. Please remember that there is no school on Friday as some teachers are finishing up interviews.
On Monday's Parent Council meeting, we presented our School Improvement Plan; you can access it under the Curriculum section of our website. The SIP is a process that staff undertake to set long term and short range goals based on their students' needs. We continue to revisit these goals, and post final outcomes at the end of the year.
I look forward to seeing you at our first parent information night on "Eating Disorders". I encourage you to attend, no matter the age or gender of your child. The workshop will be in the library at 6:00 p.m.

Many of our schools, including LKS, work closely with the 22 Division and we are grateful for their support. The following message is from Constable Cashmore:
I am the new social media officer/ community officer at 22 Division. In the event of a school lockdown or any other incident in 22 Division we will be posting live updates to media, residents and family members via these social media sites. This gives the end user an immediate answer as and when we know it to what's going on in their division and home area live and interactive.
This is also a great way to ask us any questions and raise your concerns. Like all initiatives we need the full buy in from our community for this to be a success. If you have information you want us to pass on please feel free to call me or email me and I will post it on our site.
