Ladysmith Intermediate School
Week at a Glance for October 19th - 23rd
Open Parachute is a district mental wellness program being used in many classrooms. A wonderful addition to the program is that it has a parent portal that you can access anytime if you are struggling at home with specific issues. It gives families an opportunity to open up the conversation about mental health, at home, so that students know it is a safe place to share how they are feeling, provide them with useful tools, and provide an opportunity to connect with you.
I will be including a weekly link for families to take a look at, but please know that you can access any of the modules that you want. The topics I send will either align with our virtue, behaviour of the month, or issues that are coming up at school.

Pitch Black Productions presents...
DARK WHISPERS
LIS’ after-school drama club would like to invite you to Pitch Black Productions’ DARK WHISPERS, a creepy, Hallowe’en recreation of radio programs that were broadcast over the airwaves in the 1940s, directed by Mr. Michalopoulos and Ms. Fall. During the golden age of radio, actors and actresses used only their voices, and foley artists created sound effects during these live performances. The audience, while listening to these performances on their radios, used their imaginations to visualize the events of each thrilling tale.
Our evening show will take place on the LIS stage on Thursday, October 29th at 6:00 pm. The doors will open 20 minutes before the show. Try to order early since the number of seats is limited. We have now reserved over 70% of our tickets from order forms already handed in. We can ‘sell out’ without notice. Ticket order forms can be downloaded and printed below or you can find it on Mr. Michalopoulos’ drama website at https://pitchblackdrama.weebly.com/ (If you cannot print out the order form, please send your child to see Mr. M to pick up a paper copy.)
Some important notes to consider while filling out the form...
1) Tickets are FREE and must be pre-ordered. You cannot get tickets at the performance. Please only order the number of tickets needed. Donations will be accepted at the door to help cover costs of future drama productions this year. We may run out of tickets at any time so please order early. We ‘sold out’ last year several days before the show.
2) Some of the sound effects and storylines can be intense and scary. We are asking NOT to bring sensitive students or young children (under Grade 4) to the performance.
3) All students must be accompanied by an adult at all times and cannot attend the show by themselves.
4) Your ticket order form must be handed in to your child’s teacher BY THURSDAY, OCTOBER THE 22nd. Tickets will be sent home with your child on Tuesday, October 27th. Please bring your tickets to the performance as they are needed for entry to ensure we are not over our capacity for the show.
We hope to see you at...
DARK WHISPERS
