Attention all cross country members! If it is raining tomorrow morning then practice is cancelled.

To mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, students read and reflected on the story Stolen Words by Melanie Florence. Following their discussion, students learned Ojibwe words and created a display symbolizing a meaningful step toward returning language and culture to Indigenous children.

🏅 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.

Friendly Reminder: Friday, June 5th is a PA Day across all Lambton Kent District School Board Schools!

June is a busy month for field trips at Hillcrest. We are so fortunate to be part of a community that embraces youth which allows us to participate in additional walking field trips. Mr. Chalupka's class kicked off the month with a visit to the fire hall. 🚒🧯🔥 Merci à Mme Davis pour avoir organisé.
