Victor Lauriston Public School

Congratulations to our Victor Lauriston runners who competed at the LKESSA Cross Country meet at Canatara Park in Sarnia today. The weather was bright, and the smiles were even brighter as these girls did a great job of representing our school, along with all the other schools across the LKDSB. Way to go team!

Help us cheer on the Jays - wear blue and white tomorrow!

🎓 We couldn't be more #LKDSBProud of Superintendent Ben Hazzard, who leads LKDSB’s Elementary Program, on earning his Doctorate in Education from the Western University! His research is helping strengthen early literacy supports and student success across the district!

Every week, Mrs Sprik picks up our groceries for the Breakfast and Snack program. Today, this happened: "While checking out out at the grocery store for our breakfast program, the man behind me in line made a comment about all the yogurt in my cart. I explained that it was for our schools breakfast program. Long story short, he walked down the breakfast aisle and grabbed an entire case of cereal. He said he wished these programs were around when he was a kid growing up in poverty." We'd like to wish this kind man at Food Basics our deepest thanks for this generous donation. We are deeply grateful that our students can begin their day with a full belly.

Our Kindergarten students are so smart! Listening to them practice their letter sounds and their phonemics is amazing.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Welcome to our Book Tasting! Our Learning Commons teacher, Mrs Carrothers, is giving students the opportunity to "sample" the many books our library has to offer.

What a great day for our annual Terry Fox Run. Thank you to our students for donating - we raised 118% of our goal amount!

The weather cooperated to give us a great night for our Meet the Staff BBQ. Thank you to the families who came out to join us, to those who signed up for School Council and to John McGregor staff and students for joining us.

Excited to see our Leadership team outfitted in their new spirit wear. Can't wait to see them in action with @Kiwanis TERRIFIC KIDS

Two great events for families next week - everyone welcome.

Grade 8 Families - make note of these upcoming important dates that will help your student prepare for their Pathway to Panther!

🚌 Bus Safety First at Victor Lauriston! Today, our students had an important bus safety and etiquette presentation. They learned valuable lessons on how to stay safe on and around the bus, as well as how to be respectful riders. Our students are now better equipped with the knowledge they need to make every bus ride a safe and pleasant experience for everyone!

Lots of hands on learning happening at school this week!

Here's to a fantastic school year!

We're so excited to see everyone on Tuesday for the First Day of School!

Even though it's the last day of school, everyone had a great time visiting their new classrooms and meeting their teachers and classmates.

Our Kindergarten students showed us their rhythm at their Year End Celebration! We loved having all of our families join us for the fun!

The weather cooperated long enough this morning to sneak in the Staff vs Student baseball game. This ultra athletic group of VLS staff once again proved their dominance with a decisive win⚾️

Hi Families, We have an awful lot of clothes in our Lost and Found! Please encourage your child to take a look for missing items, or come by the school at 3:35 to check for yourself. Any goods still here on Wednesday will be bagged and donated to the local thrift stores.
