As we approach Remembrance Day, we want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this solemn occasion. It is a time for us to honor and remember the brave individuals who have served and sacrificed for our country. Their courage and dedication have shaped the freedoms we enjoy today, and it is important for our students to understand and appreciate this legacy.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parent volunteers who have generously given their time and energy to support our recent field trips and school-wide activities. Your involvement enriches our students’ learning experiences and helps build a stronger school community. We are truly grateful for your continued support and dedication.

Thank you for being an integral part of our school family.

Your Lakeland Ridge School team.

Once again, the Lakeland Ridge community has outdone themselves! Thank you to everyone who fundraised and was able to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation. Together, we raised:

Here is a great regulation practice that you can practice with your child at home over the break!

5 Things Exercise - Try to write them down or say them out loud.

o a. 5 things you see

o b. 4 things you can touch

o c. 3 things you can hear

o d. 2 things you can smell

o e. 1 thing you can taste

This focused attention strategy is a good one to use when you are having overwhelming emotions as this helps guide your mind back to calm and redirects your thoughts.

To try out previous week's regulation strategies, check out the Regulation Strategies page on our school website.

Winter is here, and with it comes the great clothing mix-up! 🎿🧣 To prevent a fashion showdown in the Lost & Found, let’s label our kiddos' gear!

Because let’s face it, every child’s mittens look like they came from the same winter elf factory. If you find a rogue glove that looks suspiciously like yours, don’t panic! Just check for the secret code (a.k.a. your child’s name) and return it to its rightful owner.

So grab a permanent marker, some cute labels, or even a paint pen, and let’s make sure we don’t accidentally swap little Timmy’s bright orange hat with Lucy’s “I Love Unicorns” beanie!

Happy labeling, and may the odds of finding matching mittens be ever in your favor!
