We would like to cordially invite you to Lakeland Ridge School's Volunteer Tea!

This is a time-honoured tradition that we are so excited to host again this year. Our school community could not function as vibrantly as it does without your gift of time!

Our volunteer appreciation celebration will be on May 28 in the Mukluk Gym from 12:30 p.m. until 1:30 p.m. The school will be providing entertainment and serving lunch (sandwiches, salads, and dessert. Gluten Free options will be available). Whether you have volunteered once this year, or once a week, we would love you to attend!

If you are able to attend, please click the link to RSVP.

Thank you for all you do to support our learning community!

Join us Wednesday at 6:00pm in the library learning commons for our next School Council and Parent Action Society meetings. Participating in the School Council and Parent Action Society meetings is a fantastic way to get engaged in your child's education!

During the month of May, teachers will be giving out prize draw slips to students who they catch helping clean up our school and school grounds! At the end of May, everyone entered will be eligible to win 4 courtside seats to an Edmonton Stingers game!

Thank you to our vending machine company, Kala Fresh, for donating this amazing prize to help keep our school community clean!
