This Week at LSS - Nov 10
Hi LSS Family
Today our school took time to Remember those that gave their life for our country. Special thanks to Ms. De Verteuil and band students our cadets along with our many students that read poems, read passages acknowledging Indigenous soldier involvement and played Last Post and Reveille
If you are not able to make it to a ceremony on Friday, I would still encourage you to take a moment near 11:00 a.m. stop and remember. It is important.
Report cards
Teachers are busy writing report cards this week as the term ended today. The game plan is to have them ready to electronically publish on the 21st – Please take time to review them with your kids.
Consent for Google use and Emergency release
In order for your child to continue to use Google based products the consent form needs to be signed off by a parent or caregiver. You were sent a link a in September but we just recently sent another. You can tell if you have already consented previously so when you get the link again in the next couple of days take a look. If you need to consent please do so to keep things running smooth. Check you junk mail. Same for student emergency release and student information consent.
Affordability fund
Through funding from the Province, LSS has received money that we can allocate to families that are in financial need. Do you need a grocery gift card to help you through these tough times or maybe a gift card for Woodgrove Mall in Nanaimo or Walmart? Often at LSS we support students that might need some clothing or pay fees so that they can do extracurricular activities. This money can go towards such needs. Let me know if we can help you out. We are all in this together.
Post secondary Institution day
On the afternoon of Thursday, Nov. 17th, LSS will be hosting Post-Secondary Institute Day. This is an event that connects our grade 11 and 12 students to various post secondary schools.
Milk and Cookie day – November 18th
Your community cares about you LSS. On Friday November 18th enjoy milk and cookies at lunch time organized by caring community members.
Alive after 5
We are excited to have Alive After 5 in-person presentation for all of our Grade 9 students on November 29th from 12:50-1:45pm in the multipurpose room.
This BCFED Health and Safety presentation will help prepare young workers entering the workforce on their rights and responsibilities with a focus on safety and injury prevention. Students will learn how to recognize hazards, refuse unsafe work, how to report injuries, and what protections are provided through WCB regulations.

49th Parallel Grocery receipts
Did you know that the school gets 1% of the value of grocery receipts that are handed into the school donated by the 49th Parallel grocery? Outside the main office window there is a box for receipts. Please consider dropping them off or sending them with your kids to drop them off. Every little bit helps.

This Week at LSS - Nov 4th
Hi LSS it is Travers here again
I have so much gratitude for the Town of Ladysmith for how they support the school. One example is the Ladysmith Health Auxiliary that donates funds to support our “Hunger Bites” program. This program provides breakfast everyday and sandwiches at lunch feeding about 50 students a day. This week coming up we have invited the LHA to visit our school so that they can see their donations in action.
Note: Turn your clocks back on hour this weekend
