Hi LSS Family

It was the last day of classes before Winter Break all were excited and beginning to shake.
The thought of no books, no pencils, no pens had us all checking clocks waiting for it to begin.
There was only one person with a tear in his eye who would miss all the excitement, a very strange guy
No students, no teachers, no phone calls home, what would he do? He would be all alone.
But he had an idea that would help pass the time, “I could ride my bike it would be so sublime”.
So, if on the holidays you hear a strange sound, look out your window and gather around
For you just might see someone full of good cheer, riding and wishing you the best of the New Year.

Have a peaceful, restful and joyous Season.

Big thanks to Students’ Council
Wow – what a great students’ council and staff sponsors we have. Thanks for your planning and work leading up to our break, it brought us all together

Interact feeding the hungry
Interact club sponsored a coin drive this past week and collected $577.80 to support hungry families in the Ladysmith area. Thanks, Interact for your great leadership and for being so caring.

Band concert
Did you make it to the Winter Band concert? Our grade 8, concert 9/10 and Jazz students wowed the audience. Special thanks goes to Ms. De Verteuil our new band teacher, Mr. Taylor and friends for running sound and Mr. Alsop for joining us.

“Christmas At LSS”
Check out the video created by Elliott Kinsey telling the story of door judging. Near the end it features our own Mr. Epp singing about feelings.

Hi LSS Family

This past week LSS invited in our neighbourhood schools, the local primary and intermediate schools, to get crafty. It was great to have future secondary students hang out with us. Thanks to counselling for organizing this. Engaging in our community is part of the LSS Vision.

Career Life Education (a Ministry course taught by Tracey Teneycke) had her grade 10 students working on Random Acts of Kindness. Various acts such as giving out Tim bits, providing tea to people and encouraging notes were just some of kind acts.

Super thanks to students’ council for the festive fun and providing ways for us to support individuals in hope to brighten their lives during this season.

You gotta love LSS
