Hi LSS

So did you catch the Art Showcase? If not let me fill you in.

Firstly, the turnout was outstanding with an emphasis on standing cause if you showed up even on time you were probably going to have to be standing.

As you entered our foyer, Ms. Hall had numerous displays of student art. The creativity was spectacular. Some works included using a book and transforming it into art – who thinks like that?

Then to start the show, Ms. Dwyer had her dance class dialed in. Super fun with amazing moves, coordination and variety – absolutely entertaining. Chloe was MC and she rocked it by continuing the LSS tradition of Dad jokes.

After a short break, our band groups took the stage: Jazz, Grade 8 and our more senior students displayed their talents once again. The news of the show was when Mr. Alsop announced that he is leaving teaching to pursue other dreams. Tears of sadness and applause of gratitude were expressed. Best to you in your new endeavours Mr. Alsop, you will be missed.

So proud of our Fine Arts Students – I just can’t stop telling everyone the good things happening at LSS.

Stay awesome
