This week at LSS - Feb 28th
Hi LSS
The world just got more complicated this week and at some levels we could feel it at school. The message from Antibullying day was “Lift Each other Up.” Students wrote positive messages which were displayed in the foyer – very powerful LSS. February 23rd is the day we acknowledge antibullying, but every day is antibullying day. Let’s keep supporting and encouraging one another to do the right thing after all it is part of the 49er Way.
Stay awesome LSS

Interact
Do you want to help build a resource that our community and those surrounding will use for years to come? The Ladysmith Youth Planning Committee is looking for a few students who would like to improve their involvement in the community of Ladysmith.
Objective: Gather a small group of students who are willing to bring their ideas forward on how best to establish a source for our community. This group of students would be expected to meet once a month alongside a few Rotarians and members from the Youth Planning committee. At these meetings the group would discuss …
1. The best platform for this source
2. What information is needed and where to get it.
3. How to keep the source up to date
4. How to get the word out once it is complete
If this sounds interesting Please contact lucydec26@gmail.com or kapow2@shaw.ca for more info.
