Monday, February 8th is the beginning of
Read-a-thon Week for 2010. It is a chance to celebrate reading
in lots of different ways and to collect money that can be used to
put more and more books in the classroom libraries. Sponsor
sheets are out and about and now it is up to YOU, the students of
LCS, to ask for some donations. You could ask the folks at
home, people who come to visit or close neighbors.
Make sure you get permission from your parents before you
ask people outside your house! All the money collected turns
into classroom books!
Don't forget that
there is a BOOK SWAP this week.
Bring in the books you no longer read and exchange them for
new titles!!
Luncheon
with the Minister of Education
Mrs. Baker is
seen here meeting with Principal Mike Baltzer from
Bridgetown Regional Elementary School before they sat down
for a luncheon meeting with Education Minister Marilyn More.
The Minister was at BRHS to meet with the Principals of the
Lawrencetown and Bridgetown schools along with the Chairs of
the School Advisory Councils, School Board Representative,
Sue Ritchie, Bridgetown mayor, Art Marshall, AVRSB
Superintendent, Margo Tait and Liberal Leader Stephen
McNeil. The SAC Chairs had an opportunity to tell Ms More
about each school's response to the recent AVRSB School
Facilities Review. Ms More was most appreciative of the
opportunity to meet with the group and hear this
information.
LCS Library Patrons Program
The annual Library Patrons Program is an initiative that
helps to put books into our school library. This project
began as one of our millennium projects to help put 2000 new
books into our library. Now, each January, we highlight this
program so we can continue to place new books for the
students to read. We gladly accept monetary donations of any
amount in order to continue to provide new books for all our
students. If you are interested in making a contribution,
please call or drop by the main office. Thanks for your
interest!
