Attention Intermediate Basketball Teams:
The girls game against PE has been rescheduled to Monday, February 24th at the same time (4:45)
The semis for both teams have been moved back by one week and may possibly be at GLSS. At the moment the boys play on Monday, March 3rd at 6:30 against QE. We will know when the girls play after Monday's game.
For the past three Fridays, our students have been grooving and moving with Miss Jackie from Show to Go Productions. They've been diving into the elements of dance and showing off their incredible moves through virtual dance sessions. Check out these amazing dancers in action! 🎉 A huge shoutout to Matt, Trevor, and Jackie for making this fantastic experience possible! 🙌✨
Congratulations to our draw winners from Family Game Night! ♟️ These students all get to take home a new game to enjoy with their families. Thank you to all families that joined us.

Mme Roy and Ms. Mayea's grade 3 and 4/5 class celebrated some hard classroom work with a cereal and PJ party. They couldn't pass up the opportunity to incorporate some math and language, so students were graphing and writing a persuasive writing piece. Keep up the hard work, Knights!
🌟 Celebrating Black History Month at LKDSB 🌟
Every February, we reflect on the incredible achievements and contributions of Black Canadians. But at LKDSB, we believe in celebrating Black history year-round. Our educators bring Black history, voices, and perspectives into classrooms every day, fostering understanding and respect for the cultural contributions that have shaped our world.
This February, join us as we shine a spotlight on events, lessons, and activities across our Board to honour the lasting legacy of Black Canadians. It’s an opportunity for students, families, and communities to learn, celebrate, and be inspired by the remarkable individuals who’ve shaped our past—and continue to shape our future.
We invite you to explore the rich history of Black Canadians, including the powerful stories from our own local communities. Together, let’s build a more inclusive, compassionate, and prosperous Canada, today and every day!✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
