As we wrapped up our final Board Meeting of the 2025-2026 school year, we also celebrated three incredible student leaders whose terms as LKDSB Student Trustees have come to an end.
A heartfelt thank you to Kasee Racher-Silverman, Spencer Horwood, and Lily Bressette for their commitment, leadership, insight, and advocacy over the past year. Their voices helped shape important conversations, their ideas inspired positive change, and their dedication to representing LKDSB students made a lasting impact across our system. 💚
We are grateful for the time, energy, and passion they brought to the Board table and wish each of them all the best as they begin their next adventures.
Thank you, Kasee, Spencer, and Lily — your leadership has made a difference, and we can't wait to see what comes next. 🌟

🌍 Celebrating Language, Culture and Community!
On June 19, LKDSB students and families came together to celebrate the end of another successful year of International Languages programming. Students studying Arabic, Malayalam, Punjabi and Urdu through our partnership with the Chatham-Kent Asian Cultural Association showcased their learning and celebrated the rich languages and cultures that make our communities stronger.
This school year, LKDSB offered 31 International Languages classes to more than 300 elementary students in Arabic, Greek, Korean, Malayalam, Mandarin, Punjabi, Turkish and Urdu. 📚
Learning a new language helps students build confidence, strengthen cultural connections, and develop a deeper appreciation for the diverse world around them. Thank you to our students, families, instructors and community partners for making this program such a success! ✨
🎉 Congratulations to all of our International Languages students on a fantastic year of learning and achievement!

🏅 HISTORY IN MOTION
The starter’s horn sounded at Great Lakes Secondary School—and with it, a new LKDSB tradition was born.
For the first time, 531 elementary student athletes from across our entire bard came together for a unified Track & Field Meet— with representation stretching from Wheatley to Grand Bend.
From powerful sprints to soaring jumps and electrifying relays, the day was filled with determination, sportsmanship, and unforgettable moments. Even more impactful? Students competing alongside peers they’d never met before, building connections that reached far beyond the finish line.
This wasn’t just a meet—it was the beginning of something bigger for LKDSB students.

Imagine this:
You’re in Grade 2.
You walk up to your principal with a big idea — every Wednesday should be "Wildcat Wednesday".
A day where the whole school shows their spirit, their pride, and their Wildcat energy.
And your principal says… Absolutely. Let’s do it. 💚🐾
That’s the kind of place our schools are.
A school where your ideas matter.
Where your voice is heard.
Where you’re not just another face in the hallway — you’re part of the family.
This is what learning looks like when kids feel seen.
This is what community feels like when everyone belongs.🌈
This is LKDSB. ✨
