Grade 4/5 Archery Practice was looking strong yesterday at nutrition breaks. Thanks to the staff that spend their time with the students teaching them proper techniques and rules around archery
Our first class winners of our Student Action Committee was our FDK class. They had the highest percentage of students wearing red, white and pink. They get to keep the trophy for bragging rights for 2 weeks. Congrats FDK!

🌟 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!✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
