Today, our students and teachers came together for a traditional 2-Pitch game! ⚾️ It was a fun afternoon filled with teamwork, friendly competition, and lots of laughter. The students came out on top with an 8–4 victory, earning some well-deserved bragging rights!

Mrs. Richardson’s class had a wonderful day learning about Turtle Island with Moses. With Miss Leanne’s help, the students created stunning artwork inspired by the story — each one is unique and so special.

Core French students in Madame Saunders’ and Madame Brydges’ Core French classes learned about Quebec traditions—from holidays to iconic foods—and wrapped up their cultural projects by making their own poutine. A fun and tasty way to bring French culture to life in the classroom. Learning never tasted so good! 🇫🇷

🏅 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.
