Student Safety Committee: Co-operation

This month the student safety committee was working hard on promoting the TDSB Character Trait of Co-operation.  Students started the month off by making announcements encouraging students to Co-operate and work together.  Their slogan was "Together we're better".

The students themselves also worked very hard to create a poster which is on display outside the main office.

Earth Week

Earth week at LKS was a huge success!  Not only were students involved in an yard cleanup and student-led ECO assembly, but students also participated in an ECO-Oympics event.  Students rotated through several stations learning about the environment and conservation.

Thank you to all the students, teachers and parents for their help in making this week such a huge success!

TDSB Day of Pink

Wednesday, April 11, 2012 the TDSB will celebrate the Day of Pink.  The Day of Pink was born when a high school student in Cambridge, Nova Scotia was bullied when he wore a pink shirt to school. Two classmates decided to stand up by buying pink t-shirts, to give to others in their school. The next day, hundreds of students came to school wearing pink to show support for their classmate and stop homophobia and bullying.  

Long Weekend!

Have a wonderful weekend!  There will be no school April 6 and April 9 for Good Friday / Easter Monday.

Grade 1 Firefighter Visit

The Grade 1 classes today had a visit from Captain Ron Jones from Toronto fire Services.  Captain Jones discussed the importance of smoke alarms, general fire safety and emergency services including when to call 911.  This was a very informative presentation and we thank Captain Jones for taking the time to speak with the children.
