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

PAC fundraisers

If you have 49^th grocery till receipts please send them with your kids and drop off the receipts in the box outside the office – Deposits of refundable bottles, cans and containers should be placed in a clear plastic bag (70 litres or so) and deposited at the Bottle Depot using (250)245-3043. These fundraisers help support our students’ activities. 😊

Grade 12 Transcript Services Activity

University applications open for almost all schools on Oct. 1^st, so counsellors need to meet with the 12s ASAP to show them how to access their transcripts and send them to the post-secondary institutes of their choice.  Even if students will not be attending post-secondary, they must take part in this activity so that they know how to access their transcripts anytime they may need them in their life!

Oct. 5^th– Rm. 107

Hi LSS
What is the most important part of a house? Roof? – nope although it’s great to stay dry. Kitchen? – no way, although making and eating food is necessary. It is the foundation. Few people when looking for a house get excited about the foundation but if the foundation is poor your house might fall down.

Education is the foundation for your future. Doing well in school by attending, getting work done, building skills and passing classes is a great way to build a strong foundation. Just like foundations school is not always flashy and fun but it is important.

Maybe next time when you are talking to your kids ask them how their foundation is doing. With a strong foundation you can build that dream home.

Terry Fox run – recap
It was a successful run this past Thursday. With excellent planning from students’ council to PHE classes running their best. Class with top donation enjoyed Dilly Bars as they cheered on Daryl Cross as he ran in a silver fox costume. Our school raised $1382.53, well done LSS!
