A note from our LGMS library: 

 Calling All Book Lovers!

Support the LGMS Library & Adventure Club

Is your bookshelf overflowing? The Adventure Club is gearing up to host its first-ever Book Sale this June, and we need your help to make it a success!

We are currently seeking donations of books in good condition that are ready for a new home. Whether you are spring cleaning or simply making room for new favourites, your generosity helps us grow.

 Where Does the Money Go?

Proceeds from the sale will be split to support two great causes:

• The LGMS Library: To replenish and expand our book collection for all students.

• The Adventure Club: To fund upcoming excursions and activities.

 How to Donate

Please drop off your gently used books at the front office or directly at the library. We are especially looking for recent titles, manga, and popular graphic novels!

Thank you for helping our students grow—both in their reading and their adventures. Let’s turn your old stories into new adventures!

Week of May 11

Phys Ed and track and field information  On Monday, May 11 grade 5 students will begin track and field! These will be split into Running events and Jumping events. We will start next week with the running events on the track outside (in any weather), so please ensure your student has running shoes, appropriate clothing for the weather, a water bottle, sunscreen etc. We have a limited number of athletic shoes to borrow for a class. 

As well, please remind your student that their shoes must remain on their feet for the duration of PE class both inside and outside. This is a non-negotiable safety expectation. If students are unprepared for class or not following instructions they will be asked to sit out.
