Students will receive poppies to wear to show our respect and gratitude for the sacrifices of our service men and women. #LestWeForget
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!

To celebrate the first haul of books from our Indigo Grant, we are encouraging students to bring a towel or something comfy to sit on during our school-wide D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) event on Monday, October 27th. We can't wait to see what new books we have in store for our library! Dress cozy and get ready to read!
Noelle’s Gift to Children is pleased to once again provide water bottles to grade one students for the school year.
Noelle’s Gift chose grade one students for this initiative because the transition from Kindergarten to grade one is such a significant milestone.
Students in Mrs. Benn-Campbell’s and Mrs. Gagner’s classes will receive water bottles this year.
Please note that the water bottles and lids are not dishwasher safe. Please hand wash water bottles.
Thank you, Noelle’s Gift!

2025 National School Bus Safety Week is observed from October 20th to October 24th. The theme this year is, “Safe Ride, Everyday Heroes”.
National School Bus Safety Week is an active and evolving public education program and an excellent way for parents, students, teachers, motorists, and school bus operators to join forces and address the importance of school bus safety.
Students at King George will participate in a school bus safety presentation on October 23rd.
From our King George VI family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing you and your loved ones a day of togetherness, love, laughs, and gratitude. We are so thankful for each and every one of you!
Students in Mrs. Fryer's grade 3/4 have been busy turkeys! Each feather on their artwork shows something they are thankful for. From family and friends, to school, sports, and even trees! What a wonderful reminder of gratitude as we head into the Thanksgiving weekend. Wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving!
