This Week at LSS - June 9th
Uy’ skweyul LSS
As we get nearer to the end of the school year and my time at LSS I want to take time to continue to highlight groups that have made my time here so memorable as together we worked to make LSS a strong school. This week it is parents and caregivers.
I have the utmost gratitude for parents and caregivers. I reflect on one of my first parent meetings five years ago. I walked away from the meeting saying to myself and sharing with others that I was so impressed with the parent support. My approach with your kids has been to treat them as soon to be adults and to see if they can solve their own behaviour problems but if they could not then I went to parents. I could not have done this job without your support. Keep your reasonable expectations for your kids. Raising kids is hard. Find time such as dinner time to talk about important meaningful topics with your kids. You are an amazing group of people.
Hay ch ‘qa Parents and Caregivers.
Completion day – June 26th
No formal classes will happen on Monday June 26th, but some students will need to come in and complete work. Busses will be running.
Graduation rehearsal – June 26th 1:00 p.m.
Hey grads we need you all here before 1:00 p.m. for rehearsal. You will get your gown on that day and have a group photo in gowns taken.
Band Showcase
Are you looking to end the year on a good note? Come check out the end of the year band concert on June 15th at 6pm in the multi-purpose room! The grade 8 concert band, senior concert band, and jazz band will be performing pieces from a wide selection of genres, ranging from classical music like Brahms and Shostakovitch to classic rock like the Beatles and Kansas.
