Hello Linsford families,

Chocolate almonds are for sale to support our fundraising initiatives for the playground. Parents or students can stop by the office to purchase chocolate almonds and they are $3 per box. Our fundraising group will provide some information and an update on the progress of this playground replacement project very soon. Thank you in advance for your support!

Black Gold School Division will also be updating our school website platform very shortly. This is to optimize the availability of information for our parents and our community. We will keep you up-to-date as we learn about when this will be launched.

Beach day is coming to LPS this Friday, January 24. Don’t forget to get your permission forms and fee paid in PowerSchool. If you are able to come along, we would love to have as many volunteers as possible. See the post below for additional information.

Please join us on the evening of January 28 for some FREE Family Fun at our Passport to Family Wellness Activity evening. More information in the post below. CLICK HERE TO RSVP.

Have a wonderful week!
