This Week at LSS - Nov 4th
Hi LSS it is Travers here again
I have so much gratitude for the Town of Ladysmith for how they support the school. One example is the Ladysmith Health Auxiliary that donates funds to support our “Hunger Bites” program. This program provides breakfast everyday and sandwiches at lunch feeding about 50 students a day. This week coming up we have invited the LHA to visit our school so that they can see their donations in action.
Note: Turn your clocks back on hour this weekend
Affordability fund
Through funding from the Province, LSS has received money that we can allocate to families that are in financial need. Do you need a grocery gift card to help you through these tough times or maybe a gift card for Woodgrove Mall in Nanaimo? Often at LSS we support students that might need some clothing or pay fees so that they can do extracurricular activities. This money can go towards such needs. Let me know if we can help you out. We are all in this together.
Post secondary Institution day
On the afternoon of Thursday, Nov. 17th, LSS will be hosting Post-Secondary Institute Day. This is an event that connects our grade 11 and 12 students to various post secondary schools.

This Week at LSS - Oct 28th
Hi LSS it is Travers here again
Near the end of November, the first report card will be published after the term ends on November 10th. Check in with your kids to make sure they are all caught up on assignments. Persevering in learning is part of the vision for LSS. “Hey Travs, what are the other parts of the vision?” Glad you asked: Explore your gifts and engage in your community. No wonder LSS is such a great place.
Halloween stuff
Just a reminder as we all work on our costumes that our Code of Conduct restricts one from covering one’s face with a mask (other than a health mask), no weapons of any material, cannot discriminate, no reference to drugs or alcohol. Hope to have a fun filled day. Many thanks goes to Students’ council and GSA for events planned.
