Dear Families,
The month of February has been filled with exciting classroom and school activities. On February 16, all of the classes got together for a whole school assembly during which some of the divisions shared a bit about what they are learning in the classroom. One class, division 2, performed a dance piece they choreographed during music/dance with Ms Young-Eng. We also had some student leaders get the whole group moving for an activity break in the middle of the assembly! This assembly was was a great way to promote student leadership and it was just one of the high lights of the month. There will be more of these community building school assemblies over the months ahead and parents/guardians are always welcome to join us.
Lord school also had another couple of very successful hot lunches - Chinese New Year lunch on Feb. 4 and hot dog day on Feb. 16. A huge thank you is extended to all of the many volunteers who made the extra special Lunar New Year lunch so delicious. Also to celebrate the start of the year of the rabbit, we were fortunate enough to have activities in the library hosted by the REAL parents & grandparents. Gung Hai Fat Choy to all and thank you to our REAL group for all that you do to contribute to our school community!
Many students came in on the evening of Friday, February 18 to watch Toy Story 3, for another well attended Family Movie Night. Many thanks to the PAC parents who hosted this event.
Our school community has been informed by district staff that the out building at Lord may become the new site for 2 alternate education programs, Sunrise East and East Side. While the initial reaction amongst the school community is mixed at this point, I encourage you to ask any and all questions so that you have the information you are wondering about. Questions, feedback and comments are welcome in writing - they can be handed in at the office by Feb. 25 or sent via email to the Board at mcaparas@vsb.bc.ca Also, you are welcome to talk to Sarah Gray in the office. While this conversation is going on let’s remember to stay positive about what is happening right now in our lovely, thriving school. Our students continue to have wonderful learning opportunities each and every day here at Lord.
Sincerely,
Sarah Gray
Vice Principal
