Friday, we had the honour of welcoming five members of the Canadian Army both veterans and active service members to our school: Private (Ret’d) Josh Curran, Private (Ret’d) Matthew Anderson, Corporal Olivia Garr, Master Corporal (Ret’d) Christopher Henderson, and Corporal (Ret’d) James Cawley.
Students from across the school had the opportunity to meet these dedicated soldiers, learn about their experiences in the military, and ask thoughtful questions about service, teamwork, and courage. They even got to try on real military gear and see firsthand some of the equipment used by our Canadian Armed Forces.
Josh, born and raised in Chatham, served in the Canadian Army where he developed strong leadership, discipline, and teamwork skills. He currently has his own construction business and works as a contractor and carpenter.
Matthew Anderson also the owner of @helpingheroesheal an organization that supports veterans and first responders through recovery and wellness initiatives.
It was an incredible educational experience that helped our students gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the sacrifices and commitment of those who serve our country. 🇨🇦
Corporal Olivia Garr will be deploying to Latvia in December as part of Canada’s ongoing commitment to international peace and security. We wish her safety and success as she represents our country overseas. 🇨🇦
Thank you all for your service.

Dear King George VI Families,
As part of our Remembrance Day ceremonies, we would like to extend the opportunity to families to honour their loved ones as part of a visual presentation we are planning for November 11.
If you have a photo, medals, or anything you would like to showcase to honour and commemorate their contribution to Canada’s war time efforts, we would like to showcase their memory on Remembrance Day. This can include active service members as well. If you also have family who lived through times of war that you would like to honour, you are more than welcome to include their stories and photos too.
Please send a copy of your photos/items to dayna.hoekstra@lkdsb.net or send them to school with your child. We will carefully and respectfully make a copy of your photos/items and return them to you the same day they are brought in.
Please include a little information about your loved one(s) so we can highlight this information with their photo/items:
Family Member’s Name
Who at King George is related to them
Where/when they served
Branch of the Armed Forces they were/are a part of
Any additional details you would like to share
As we commemorate the sacrifices our veterans have made for us as Canadians, we recognize that it can sometimes be difficult for children and young people to connect to events that, in some cases, occurred over 100 years ago. By connecting students with family through their photos and their stories, it allows all of us to see how relevant and important it is to continue to share their stories and make connections to the past.
If you have any questions about the project, please reach out.
Please have your submissions in by November 5th (this Wednesday).
We look forward to honouring your family members on November 11.

Tomorrow is November 1st, which kicks of our Movember campaign! Take a look at the image for more details.
On Thursday, October 30, paving within the Delaware Ave and Cox Ave intersection is scheduled to occur tomorrow, weather permitting. If it should rain, this will be rescheduled to Friday. Similar to the concrete work that was just completed within the intersection, the contractor will time their work to avoid the school rush hours.
After the paving, the only work remaining near the intersection is some streetlight work that has not been scheduled yet. Once I have more information, I will follow-up with you should that work have any impacts to traffic on Delaware or the school in general.

📚✨ King George VI Public School - Chatham celebrated World Library Day with “Picnic and Pages”—a cozy school-wide read-in complete with popcorn and reading buddies!
Thanks to the Indigo Love of Reading Grant, their shelves are refreshed and the joy of reading is thriving!
A great opportunity for students to showcase their talents! Can't wait to see some amazing performances at Merry Magic!
A friendly reminder that tomorrow the construction crew across the street will be pouring concrete curbs. Please plan your drop off and pick up accordingly as traffic will be busy on Delaware Ave.
Today is the last day to order Spooky Nachos for Friday, October 31. Place your order by 3:00 pm. Nachos are $4.25 each.
Dear KG Families.
The construction crew currently working across from the school will be pouring concrete curbs on Tuesday, October 28th. They hope to complete the work between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Please plan your drop off accordingly as the site will be extremely busy prior to the pouring of the concrete. Please remind your child(ren) to stay away from the site, especially if they usually walk around or near Cox Ave. The curb directly in front of the school will also be affected by this construction. If you usually meet your child for pick up after school, please consider an alternate area to meet. Delaware Ave. will be tight for vehicles so it is recommended drivers park further down the street. As always, please keep our bus drop off zone clear for the safety of our students who ride the bus. Your support in helping the construction crew complete their work is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to all of our bus drivers throughout Chatham-Kent and the LKDSB. Your dedication and commitment to student safety ensures our students arrive safely at school and that they return home at the end of the school day! Thank you for all that you do!
