LKS Spelling Bee

The spelling bee held last week was a huge success!   All involved loved the experience.  Congratulations to all the spellers and to Lily, a grade 6 student, for being the top speller in the school.  We wish her success at the regional level.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays and all the best in 2011!
