Yesterday, our Grade 5/6 students had the honour of participating in the Healing Walk in Wallaceburg to observe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡
Our class joined the local community to walk in solidarity, reflect on the history and legacy of residential schools, and honour the survivors, their families, and the children who never made it home.
It was a powerful morning filled with reflection, learning, and meaningful conversations. We are so proud of our students for showing such deep respect, empathy, and active engagement as we continue our journey toward truth, listening, and reconciliation.
Every Child Matters.
A HUGE congratulations to all of our incredible students and staff who took part in our Terry Fox Run! Your hard work, dedication, and amazing spirit made yesterday a massive success as we honoured Terry’s legacy and raised support for cancer research. Every single step made a difference!
A big congrats to four very deserving students who won a gift card for a free burger at Harvey's! Enjoy your well-earned treat! 🍔🎉
Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, and donated. You should all be super proud of your efforts! 👏✨

On September 30th, we wear orange to honor the survivors of residential schools and remember the thousands of children who never made it home.
Orange Shirt Day grew out of Phyllis Webstad’s story. At six years old, she arrived for her first day at the St. Joseph Mission Residential School wearing a bright new orange shirt bought by her grandmother—only to have it stripped away. Her story is a powerful reminder of the systemic attempt to erase Indigenous culture, language, and family bonds, and the lasting impact it left on generations.
Wearing orange isn't just about a shirt; it’s a commitment to learning, listening, and taking active steps toward reconciliation.
Please consider wearing orange on September 30th.

The energy at H.W. Burgess today was off the charts as we kicked off the 2026-2027 school year! The hallways and school yard were filled with big smiles, reunion hugs, and that unmistakable first-day excitement.

From fresh notebooks to new friendships, this year is already off to an amazing start. Let’s make the 2026-2027 school year our best one yet!

🏅 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.

*More great photos to come!
