December 13th Update
Thank you for joining us at our Annual Winter Event. We loved seeing families connect and make their way through the crafts and activities. A big thanks to Mrs. Kawchuk for arranging and preparing the musical showcase in the gym. Students sang and performed with such enthusiasm. Thank you for supporting the grade 1-2 pet treat project, raising over $700 for Pawsitive Match. The grade 1-2 team will share more about this initiative soon. We are also grateful for all of the “fill a sock” items. Grade 5-6 students will each be filling a sock to go to the Mustard Seed. Collectively, we have made a difference for people who really need it at this time of year.
Traffic
We have had a number of community complaints in regards to traffic. We remind everyone that the front section is a NO STOPPING section. We do not have a “hug and go” or “stop after busses” area. When drivers follow the signage, it creates two lanes for traffic to flow freely. When drivers stop in this area, it narrows the street to one lane creating a back log for busses and other traffic. We want our neighbours to think highly of the families at our school and have a positive relationship with LBS, especially as a Montessori school with the tenets that we promote. Thank you for doing your part.
Spirit Days
The last week of school will be a fun spirit week:
December 16: Ready set Glow! Show off your holiday bling – hats, headbands, accessories
December 17: Gettin’ Grinchy! Dress up in green or grinchy attire.
December 18: Winter Wonderland! Wear white, snowflakes, winter items.
December 19: Ugly sweater day. Have fun wearing a favorite holiday shirt or sweater.
December 20: Plushy Pjs – get cozy in your favorite holiday or cozy pjs.
Lost and Found
We hope to have a completely empty Lost and Found before we leave for break. The BEST way for us to help items get back to their owner is when they are labelled with a name. Thank you for labelling hats, boots, shoes and jackets. It makes a big difference.
