Good Afternoon,
This is Greg Norton, Principal (Acting) of Loch Lomond School, here with a few announcements regarding upcoming events at your school for the week of Feb. 13th – Feb. 17th.
A reminder to check local radio, school and district information bulletins via twitter or the weather line to confirm school cancellations. There have been instances where children have arrived to school on snow days and therefore if there are no teaching staff on duty please don’t leave your child unsupervised.
Please be reminded that all visitors to the school are required to sign in at the office.
Please be reminded that due to allergies and sensitivities we are a peanut and nut free school. Therefore, any products (e.g. lunches, bake sale items, etc.) containing nuts are not allowed at school.
Tuesday, Feb. 14th Grade 5 students will be participating in week five of the ten week D.A.R.E. program. This drug abuse resistance education course is delivered by a police officer form the Saint John Police Force. For more information please contact your child’s teacher.
TNB’s Young Company will be at the Lion’s Den on the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 7th with a production entitled “The Damsel in Distress Who Saved Herself.” This live theatre performance will turn gender stereotypes on their head! The play features an evil witch who has kidnapped a princess. A prince has come to save her, but doesn’t know how. In this witty play by Fredericton’s Kira Smith, the damsel is the hero who can fight with great skill, while the prince is good at singing and sewing and cooking. Together they must find a way to escape the witch’s castle, and lean a thing or two along the way. Many thanks to our Loch Lomond Home & School Association who has made this annual performance possible!
Tuesday, Feb 14th our school choir will travel to the Saint John Airport for a morning performance for passengers, crew and airport staff to enjoy. Thank you to our Choir Director Mrs. Richard for providing this real-life performance opportunity.
Wednesday, Feb. 15th students who have submitted consent forms will receive their regular fluoride treatment to help keep that smile strong and bright!
Thursday,
Thursday, Feb. 15th is the Newcomb Ball Jamboree. Our Newcomb Ball team hits the court at Forest Hills School. Come out and support our student athletes as they show their sportsmanship at this upcoming jamboree. For more information please contact Mr. Cormier.
