Hi LSS

Game plan for next school year – we are going back to semesters for the 2021-22 school year. That is 4 blocks for the first five months and 4 blocks for the next five months (Just like we have done in the past). Also, we are not in cohorts next year. The start and end times of the school day will not be changing.

More filming fun this Friday. Some creative students from our Grad 2021 class will be working on their own grad video after school and into the late evening. The event is being supervised by staff. Just wanted to let you all know in case you go by the school and wonder what is up.

STAAR presentation – (Students Taking Action Against Racism)

Last week all classes participated in a talk on the topic of racism. Our own STAAR group members courageously presented their student voice video. After the presentation students were invited to sign a board with the quote “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Martin Luther King Jr.

Hi LSS

Well 49ers, there was excitement in the air today here at LSS.  As we work to secretly give the grad class of 2021 the best grad memories possible, we may have spilled the beans a little.  Today we were filming a video you all may find very entertaining at the end of June.  What better way to bring smiles to the faces of our Ladysmith community than by having covid safe fun on the school bus, teachers dancing and the police mock arresting your principal.  If you happened to drive by and see lights, cameras and action, please know that we were just filming, being creative and that everyone here at LSS is safe!

The good news keeps on rolling in!  Are sports your thing?  Two of our grade 12 students have been awarded scholarships as they are superior athletes.  Kamryn Grooms is off to Nipissing University in Ontario on a scholarship for ice hockey!  She will play hockey and represent our town proudly while studying to become a nurse.  Dru Wright is heading to the USA, where he will attend Missouri Valley College on a $19,000 US scholarship.  Dru will be playing baseball and working on a kinesiology degree.  We can’t wait to watch you on the big screen!!

We had multiple winners from the Royal Canadian Legion Remembrance Day Contest. Congratulations to Hannah Burns, Caidence Burns, Olivia Wing and Brooklyn Bianchini.

More amazing news to share!  University of Victoria is awarding entrance scholarships to our students for a lot of money!! Ava Smith is the recipient of a $24,000 scholarship to UVIC.  She also was awarded a $27,000 scholarship to SFU, but will be heading to Victoria to study geography.  Katrina Kurylowich has been awarded a UVIC entrance award for $28,000 and will be off to the capital to study accounting.  Skyla Thomas is the recipient of a $24,000 scholarship for UVIC and will be pursing her degree with a long term goal of politics/law.  Two other of our grade 12 students have received full-ride scholarships as well for UVIC, for a total of 5 LSS students entering UVIC with their studies paid for.  Congrats to all 5 of you for your hard work and dedication to your studies!
