This week at LSS - Oct 8th
Hi LSS
Gratitude is one of the areas of Social Emotional Learning. At LSS we are working on the following SEL domains: Self awareness, Social awareness, Responsible decision making, Self management, Relationship skills.
In line with our learning on Friday, students and staff (cause we need SEL as well) had the opportunity to participate in a Gratitude table in the foyer. Students were invited to write down something they are grateful for, stick it on the white board and get a lollipop.
As we enter this Thanksgiving weekend, it’s a great time to express gratitude.
Parent Teacher interviews Oct 19 – 21st
Like last year our PT interviews will be virtual (at least for semester 1). Staff will send out emails that give you an opportunity to book a time when teachers are available. This might be during one of the days or multiple days. As always if you cannot make it work, emailing a teacher anytime is a great way to stay on top of what is happening in your child’s learning

Local museum – volunteer opportunity – looks good when applying for scholarships.
Opportunity for students to do volunteer work at the Ladysmith Museum, Archives or for the Ladysmith & District Historical Society. This is non-profit society and they would welcome youth to volunteer. Last summer they employed two LSS students full-time and will be looking to do that again in the summer of 2022.

Cafeteria
Every week a menu is created for you to plan ahead – it is on the school website: quick links – cafeteria. You can purchase food cards using online cashless pay system.

This week at LSS - Oct 1st
Hi LSS
What is Thanksgiving about? Being thankful but we need to be thankful all year round. What is Christmas about? One could say giving but we don’t just give one day of the year. Many days in the year remind us on how to care for each other and Truth and Reconciliation day is the same. We recognize it officially on one day but we need to work on practicing it every day of the year.
This past week we recognized Truth and Reconciliation day at the school, we recognized it by singing and drumming and writing words of hope and promise.
Good news! Here is PAC Executive:
President – Jolene Edmunds
Vice President – Lorena Kurylowich
Treasurer – Emily Steeves
Secretary – Cheryl Onciul
DPAC Rep – Heather Priestly
