Beginning today, Tuesday, September 22nd, fall has officially arrived for us.
There are many wonderful things about fall, one of the most important is the bounty of the harvest for our local agriculture industry. Perhaps attending a fall fair, participating in outdoor fall activities, or raking leaves into a pile and then jumping into them.
Feel free to add your favourite fall activity to this post.

Volunteers are an amazing addition to any school.
With an updated LKDSB policy, all volunteers are required to have a Vulnerable Sector Check from their local police agency before commencing the volunteer duties. This includes helping with field trips, skating, or special events.
If you are interested in these opportunities and need more help, please get in touch with the school principal by calling the school or emailing Heather.VanderPol@lkdsb.net

🏅 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.
👉 Read the full story and relive the day in our newsroom: https://www.lkdsb.net/article/16594
*More great photos to come!

A massive THANK YOU to Mr. Curran for organizing such a fantastic Track and Field day! Your hard work behind the scenes made sure everything ran like clockwork, and our students had an incredible day of competition and fun.
We also want to give a huge shout-out to our amazing parent volunteers and dedicated staff. Whether you were timing races, measuring long jumps, or encouraging our students, we couldn't have done it without your extra sets of hands and cheering voices! 📣
It was definitely a chilly and windy one out there, but the weather didn't slow our athletes down. We are so proud of how every student persevered and gave their absolute best.
Most importantly, the sportsmanship on display was second to none. From high-fives at the finish line to students cheering on their peers, you all showed what it truly means to be part of our school community.
Way to go, everyone! 🏆✨
