Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,

The last few weeks have been a busy whirlwind of course selection, student learning surveys, YDI surveys, visits from elders and the Yukon Education Committee, and an Anti-bias Mini Film Festival. We thank students and families for their support and flexibility as we navigated through the busy lead up to Spring Break.

We also want to take a moment to congratulate our Senior Improv team, under the guidance of Mr. Bill Taylor, for earning a spot to compete in the Canadian Improv Games National Tournament in Ottawa at Canada’s National Art Center. We also want to thank and acknowledge our school and greater community for their support and generously donating through the benefit show, silent auction, or the school directly. For those still looking to contribute, donations can be made through the QR code below, by selecting Ladysmith Secondary and the Improv initiative.

A large thank you also goes to all who donated towards the Interact club’s fundraiser for LAFF to provide menstrual products for those in need. Based on the amounts raised, several staff members may get a pie in the face when we return after Spring Break. Stay tuned to see how we did!

Track & Field season is once again starting up this spring at LSS!! We had several students qualify for the Provincial Championships last year and are continuing to grow our program.  We will be offering running, throwing and jumping events. Practices will start after Spring Break on Wednesdays and Fridays after school.  If you have a background in javelin, shot put or discus we would love your help in any capacity you are able.  Please reach out to Brandie Lewis (brandie.lewis@sd68.bc.ca) or Hamish Thomson (hamish.thomson@sd68.bc.ca) with any questions.

Finally, whether you are heading out on an adventure or staying close to home, we hope that you each find time for rest and relaxation. We look forward to seeing you all after spring break, recharged and ready to finish the school year in a good way! School will return from Spring Break on Monday March 25^th.  Please see below for a list of important upcoming dates
