On Friday, May 15th, NLSS will be hosting our Awesome Eagle Day for our many feeder schools. Students in Grade 8 that are looking to attend NLSS in the Fall of 2026 are invited to participate in the day.
Some of our NLSS students travelled to Kettle Point today to take part in the Kettle & Stony Point First Nations Symposium. Students were able to participate in playing and learning the game of Lacrosse, learning about weaving, the history of Kettle & Stony Point and the local areas, the creation of treaties and their importance, cultural identity, and art.
Thanks to our Civics/Careers class and members of our Key Club for participating in a Spring Cleanup of the school and surrounding Forest Community!
Our NLSS Eagles travelled to East Lambton Elementary School in Watford today to work with students there to introduce them to different Art activities. Thanks for being a great host!
Students are encouraged to sign up in the library to compete in the Smash Bros Tournament at the end of May.
A big "Thank You" to the Forest Optimist Club for their donation to the NLSS Tech Department to purchase tools.
Midterm Reports will be going home today for all students. These reports indicate the midterm mark, comments, and learning skills for students in each of their classes. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns.
It was Tractor Day last week!!
SHSH Agriculture: Our SHSM students traveled to some local businesses and to Dresden this week to work on their Red Seal certificates for SHSM in Agriculture. They were able to spend time at Roeland’s Greenhouse to learn about plant propagation and pest and infection management. Students were able to view the operation and learn more about the horticulture industry here in Forest. They also made their way to Dresden to view the latest technology in the agriculture sector.
Our Grade 11 and 12 leaders returned from Muskoka Woods on Friday. Our students helped out with our feeder school Grade 8 students that will soon be at North Lambton in the fall. Although the weather was a bit cold and muddy, students had a good time. Mrs. Sanders and Officer J9 had great reports to bring back about our students and their leadership skills.
Hopefully this event helps our Grade 8s to look forward to highschool next year!

Good Morning NLSS Families. We have recently had a power outage at the school that has also impacted many homes and businesses across the community. The power is back on now at the school and we are continuing with our day!
Our NLSS Wrestling Program would like to thank Jackpot Time for their assistance with our OFSSAA Wrestling Athletes. The athletes had tremendous success and enjoyed their experiences.
Our Music Department put on a great show last night at the Kineto Theatre. The band played many songs from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park etc. The Kineto Theatre played clips of the movies as the students played the theme songs. What a great venue and fantastic performances by all. Thanks to all of our guests that raised $700 toward our Music Department for instrument repairs and music supplies for the band. Thanks to Mr. MacDougall and to Mrs. Sheffield for conducting the band and putting the night together. Thanks also to the staff at the Kineto Theatre for hosting the event.
Our Music and Drama Department at NLSS would like to thank the Forest Legion and the Forest Optimist Club. Two donations for the school's programs that will help keep our musicians and actors supplied with the supplies they need. Thank you so much!
Last week some of our geography classes went on a field trip learning about the Lake Erie watershed. Students learned about the Great Lakes and how pollutants end up as run off into creeks and rivers. Students also examined invasive species that have moved into the areas. Students also engaged in a water walk and had a traditional Indigenous lunch. Thanks to all that helped organize.
Little Flyers Wrestling
Eagles Wrestling is proud to offer an opportunity for our Elementary Feeder schools. We are offering 4 sessions on the mat at North Lambton Secondary School for students in grades 3 - 8 in April to get experience with this incredible sport. Please see the poster for details.
The NLSS Wrestling team had an incredible season this year! With our largest team ever—over 40 wrestlers on the roster—the program continues to grow and showcase the hard work and dedication of our athletes.
From this strong group, 14 wrestlers qualified for SWOSSAA, representing our school at the regional level. An extra special congratulations goes to Eddie Moons, Bailey Dortmans, and Daphne Farr, who advanced to OFSAA Wrestling, competing against the best wrestlers in the province.
At OFSAA, all three athletes represented NLSS with determination and grit. Each wrestler earned at least two match victories, and together they recorded five pins against tough provincial competition. Their performances were a great example of the perseverance and toughness that defines NLSS Wrestling.
Congratulations to all of our wrestlers on an outstanding season, and a big thank you to everyone who supported the team along the way! 💪🤼♂️
