2022 Youth Week Poster 11x17

Hi LSS
Fashion found its form this week. Many students wore their finest Thrift store wares on Thursday and had the opportunity show them off in our lunch time fashion show. We wanted to acknowledge the local Thrift store as the Ladysmith Health Auxiliary is a big supporter of the “Hunger Bites” food program here at LSS. What is “Hunger Bites?” We recognize that learning happens best when stomachs are full – feed the stomach nourish the mind. Through support from the community and school funds we can offer a breakfast program, sandwiches at lunch and various snacks each day.

Thanks to students’ council for finding outfits for Ms. Harrison and me. Some students mentioned I looked like Eminem or Jesse Pinkman – is that a compliment?

Thanks Health Auxiliary for supporting our students and for making us look so fashionable.

PAC meeting April 25 – the fun starts at 6:30

British Columbia is the Outdoor Recreational Capital of the World and we also have some of the best boating in the world. Boating is experiencing a labour shortage of skilled marine trades to service a growing industry. These high paid jobs are often ignored and we are wanting to raise the profile of the many opportunities that are bypassed as a job path  https://www.bcbusiness.ca/Boating-in-BC-The-Newest-Growth-Industry
