Hello Linsford Families,
It was wonderful to see everyone after the break! Reminder to all that our doors open at 8:20 am and that is when we have supervisors out. Students have until 8:30 am to get to class and O'Canada and announcements start at 8:35 am. Some students are coming before 8:00 am and this is a safety concern.
We would also like to remind everyone that you can't use the bus lane for parking prior to 8:30 am and from 2:55 - 3:10 pm after school. Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!
Have a wonderful week and enjoy the warmer temperatures!
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles
LPS Admin Team

CONGRATS TO OUR DRAW WINNERS
BASKETBALL TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
Our boys and girls basketball teams played their first game against East Elementary. Both teams played well with wonderful team spirit. Our boys, although short-handed, pulled away with a close win. The girls didn't win on the scoreboard, but for a first game, where all were brand new to basketball, they sure learned some new skills very quickly! We are proud of you all! Thank you to Brandi for taking and sharing some pics with us!
PASSPORT TO FAMILY WELLNESS EVENT:
We are excited to partner once again with our division MHCB (Mental Health Capacity Building / Recovery Alberta) team to bring to you our passport to family wellness evening on Tuesday, January 27! If you want to know what it is all about, check out the video below from last year. This event is open to all LPS families and is available at no cost to you! We will have similar stations to last year, with a few new ones added in for fun. Hope to see you there!
