This Week at LSS - June 17th
Hi LSS
Many might know but I wanted to take a moment to let folks know that Mr. Alsop is leaving our school to pursue other endeavours. Mr. Alsop has been a pillar at LSS for many years and has warmed the hearts and minds of many staff and students. His famous beard and joyous laugh will be missed at our school. Best to you in your next adventures Mr. Alsop!
I also want to extend my appreciation to our EAs – the backbone of the work we do. This next week will be their last week. Often the great work they do is not recognized but your kids would not experience the success they do without them.
Pancake Breakfast – June 24th starting around 7:45 am
Field Day – Friday, June 17th.
Big shout out to Ms. Dolen, Ms. Fink and Student Council for organizing a super fun field day. Thank you so much…my kids had a blast! A community member even called in to say how great it was to see and hear kids having fun – what a great community!
Feedback from “Be More than a Bystander” – B.C. Lions
This school year LSS (sponsored by SHAPE) had the presentation “Be More than a Bystander.” This is part of the Team Up to End Racism program focused on confronting racism and embracing diversity and inclusion in British Columbia. As a special thanks, B.C. Lions would like to offer all our students a free youth ticket to one of their regular season games in 2022. The link below can be used to redeem a free youth ticket and discounted adult tickets if you so choose. Thanks again, enjoy your summer break and go Lions!

This Week at LSS - June 10th
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
