Happy New Year! I would like to welcome all the students back after the Christmas break. . We have lots of exciting happenings in the next several months. May 2020 bring us all health, happiness and a feeling of peace.

Any parent who would like to help out at the school, chaperone field trips or drive to sporting events must have a positive Criminal Record Check brought to the school. For parents who want to drive to events, please complete the LOCCS Driver Authorization Form also. Forms are available at the office. Any cost incurred for the record check will be reimbursed by the school.

Thank you to all who have brought in their forms this year!

We are always looking for adults to come and listen to our younger students practice their reading. If you would like to help out, please contact the school.

The Christmas Concert brought many smiles and even a few tears this year. We would like to thank all the families and friends who came out to see the students perform. It takes a lot of practice to make the performances so special and the students are thrilled to have parents come and watch the show. The finale was extra special this year as it was dedicated to Mrs. Sarenco with this being her last Christmas concert. Special thanks to all the staff who worked so hard at preparing the kids, the stage and the evening.

We would like to say thank you to our SCC for treating the staff to coffee and treats. Also thank you to all the parents who sent goodies, gifts and extras to the school. These gestures are very much appreciated!

Special thank you to Melissa Doke-Poitras, the owner of Jeans and Joggers Kids, for the donation of ice cream for the entire school on the last day before the break.The SCC would also like to thank Nutters for their generous donation of a Christmas prize as well as all the toppings to be able to serve all the children ice cream sundaes on the last day of school. Our SCC works very hard to make the school fun for both staff and students. We very much appreciate all that they do for us.

The Stewardship group had a very busy December with Meals on Wheels, Craft and Bake Sale, Candy- grams and collection of food and toys for the Food Bank. We also collected winter clothes for the Share the Warmth. Your generosity is always appreciated.

Basketball will be starting in January. Please see the calendar for information on games.

Mr. Corcoran would like to congratulate the Band students on their great performances and wants to thank parents and families for supporting the Annual Band Craft Sale and Christmas Trade Show. Your support is very important to both the students and the Band program. We hope to see you all again next year.
