Welcome back after a restful Spring Break! As we step into the Spring season, we’re excited to finish the school year strong with a packed schedule of engaging events and field trips. The quickest month of the year (AprilMayJune) will be jammed packed with opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and make lasting memories. We’re looking forward to celebrating the hard work and achievements of all our students as we approach the end of the year. Let’s make the final stretch of this school year a memorable one!

We'd like to extend a warm wolf welcome back to Alexandra Candler who is returning in her role as Assistant Principal! Alexandra will be the even grade administrator if you need to reach out to her.

Mrs. Sparrow will be staying at Lakeland Ridge and providing numeracy support for elementary students.

Mr. Krause will also be staying at Lakeland for the remainder of the school year in his current teaching position.

With both hands at the same time, begin with your thumb and first finger (pointer finger) and tap fingers from the first finger to pinky as you tap all four fingers, you take a long inhale and as you tap back to the thumb and first finger, take a long exhale. Repeat the tapping and breathing for one minute. This breathing exercise is a great strategy to use if you are overwhelmed at your desk during class.

All of the regulation strategies we’ve been practicing this year can be found on our school website.

On Wednesday, April 2nd teams from both Salisbury Composite and Bev Facey High School will be meeting with our grade 9s at 10:30am to help them select courses for their grade 10 year.

We are looking for community members with backgrounds in engineering, art, or math to run an engaging station for students! This could be a hands-on activity, demonstration, or interactive exhibit that sparks curiosity and excitement.

For example, we already have some fantastic organizations confirmed, including the Edmonton Geological Society (geology & rock science), Strathcona County Utilities Outreach (recycling & seed planting), Steamoji (makerspace activities), Strathcona County Robotics, Callysto (data science), and the Strathcona County Library (STEAM resources).

If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact Sydney Munsterman at sydney.munsterman@eips.ca

Lakeland Ridge has been working with the Canadian Museum of Human Rights (CMHR) to support teaching and learning about racism. In January Sarah Adomako-Ansah from CMHR presented to all staff about resources, lessons and tools for guiding safe and meaningful dialogue around racism. Students in Grades 6-9 will be engaging in conversations about racism, microagressions and anti-racism during health classes. Below is a link to the Pass the Mic: Let's Talk About Racism.

This extra-curricular club will meet in the music room from March 5 until April 17. Students will eat in the music room together and sing during the lunch recess. They will learn a variety of songs and vocal warm-ups.

Students can come to the music room on March 5th if they are interested in joining. A letter will be sent home with a permission form on that day.

If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Rice at 780-416-9018 or Jennifer.rice@eips.ca
