Victor Lauriston Public School

It was a big day for our grade 8's as they took one more step towards high school. Students met with the JMSS Student Success team to discuss course selection, extra curricular interests and have another opportunity to ask them questions about high school. Our students are so fortunate to have the chance to sit down for these one-on-one intake meetings, thanks to Mr Reagan and Mrs Terry for all you're doing to make this transition warm and welcoming.

😋Yummo😋 Today's You're The Chef program was brought to you by Egg Wraps and Pizza-dillas! Students washed, chopped, cracked, grilled and most importantly ate! They weren't too sure about the mushrooms or avocado, but bravely tried one bite of everything!

No buses this morning due to fog. They will run this afternoon to bring students home. Please take care this morning, making your way in.

🧱 Move Over, Grandmasters – Recess Just Got Serious! ♟️
The energy at school today was absolutely electric as we kicked off our first sessions of Lego Builders and Chess Club! Whether students were snapping bricks together or plotting their next gambit, the engagement level was super high.

🏗️ Building Dreams
Our Lego creators were out in full force!
Some followed the blueprints to master intricate sets.
Others went "Master Builder" mode, let their imaginations run wild, and created some incredible custom builds.

⚔️ The Battle for the Board
On the other side of the room, the Chess boards were a total battlefield. We saw:
Knights jumping into the fray to lead the attack.
Bishops slicing across the board, hunting down the King.
Pawns running for their lives!
Plenty of intense "Checkmate!" moments as players competed for ultimate supremacy.

It’s amazing to see so much creativity and strategy happening all in one place. We’re already counting down the days until next week!

❤️So Much Love❤️ Our Kindergarten students LOVED inviting their families in to help them create their Valentine Mailbox! They cut✂️, constructed🔨, and decorated🖌️ and then shared a snack together! We LOVE having our families join in the learning❤️

🏀SLAM DUNK🏀 Proud of our Lions who represented at this year's All-Star game! Both games were fast paced, energetic, and full of end to end action. The final scores were very close, highlighting the depth of ability in our elementary schools. Thank you to Chatham Barbers, Chatham Sports Hall of Fame and Tim Mavor for making this opportunity happen for our students. #lionspride #lkdsb #hoopdreams

Heads up Lions - buses are cancelled today. Please be careful out there - it's slippery.

🍓COOKING UP SOMETHING GREAT🍌 We had a blast today, kicking off the You're The Chef program!👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 In partnership with CK Public Health, this amazing program gives kids a chance to get hands-on in the kitchen. Not only are they learning essential kitchen, safety skills, but they're also discovering how to whip up nutritious (and seriously tasty) meals from scratch! On today's menu: Very Berry Banana Smoothies🥤 Strawberry Pancakes🥞 The verdict? Absolutely delicious!😋 There was plenty of laughter, a little bit of flour, and a whole lot of fun! We are already counting down the days until next week's menu! #You'reTheChef #CKPublicHealth #HealthyKids #FunInTheKitchen #LKDSB

Snow much fun at Winter Fest! The Leadership Team took today's snowfall and turned it into a full-blown outdoor adventure - sledding, snowshoeing, and snow angels were the vibe! Big thanks to our student leaders and their advisors for making today a core memory. Who says school can't be a winter wonderland!☃️❄️

BEST. DAY. EVER.❄️ Mother nature definitely understood the assignment today! Our leadership team turned the fresh snowfall into the ultimate Winter Fest, and the energy was unmatched. From racing along the field on sleds to mastering snow shoes, and even some chilly Frisbee Golf, our students proved that there's no such thing as"too cold" when you are having this much fun!🌨️☃️

Our ECE's are amazing! Today they combined their classes and did a joint Heggerty lesson, teaching letters and sounds to the JK's and they were so in synch that they sounded like one person! We're lucky to have such great Kindergarten teams🩷 #lionspride
