LRS Newsletter December 8th

Dear Lynn-Rose families,

December is a month to celebrate the hard work of students and staff, and we have several exciting events upcoming as we bring school to a close for the Winter Break. Whether through performances, showcases of learning, or culminating projects, we come together as a community to recognize what our students have accomplished through their efforts.

This Wednesday, December 10th, we are very pleased to host our Lower School Winter Concert at Meadowvale Theatre. The students have been practicing and practicing, and they are now ready for the big stage! I look forward to seeing all of our Lower School parents at this exciting event. There are still a few tickets remaining if you would like to bring along another family member or friend to enjoy the performance.

On Tuesday, December 16th, the Upper School will host its first Winter Market. This new event will showcase the entrepreneurial mindset of our students as they execute their business plans and sell their goods. All families are warmly invited to attend and support the students’ efforts. Our Upper School Music students will also be performing during the event to add to the festive atmosphere.

While these events encompass entire divisions of the school, celebrations of learning are also taking place each day. There are some wonderful examples in this week’s newsletter—from Grade 1 to Grade 12—and we hope you enjoy reading about what has been happening across the school.

I look forward to connecting with our families at these upcoming events as we celebrate the learning and performances of our students!

Scientists in School: Exploring Energy in Grade 1!

Our Grade 1 students had an exciting, hands-on experience during the Scientists in School: Energy workshop on November 25th. They explored how energy makes things move, light up, and create sound through engaging activities using items like a solar-powered cricket, hand fan, waterfall model, and light bulb. It was a fun and creative day of discovery for our young scientists!

Scientists in School: Strong Structures Workshop

Our Grade 3 students recently participated in the Scientists in School workshop, Strong Structures, at our Eastwins Campus. They explored what makes structures stable, learning about balance, base, load, and supportive materials. Students then designed, built, and tested their own structures, making adjustments to improve strength and stability. It was a fantastic hands-on experience that encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity!

Spotlight On: Gatsby Game Fair Highlights ✨

The ENG4U Advanced unit ended with a truly memorable event! Students successfully completed their creative challenge: translating the complex literary themes of The Great Gatsby—class, illusion, and apathy—into functional, engaging board and digital games. The event was a testament to their high-level analytical thinking and creative application.

Grade 6 Geography Students Present Inspiring NGOs

Our Grade 6 students brought their learning to life this week with an impressive and interactive display of global NGOs. As part of their geography unit, students researched the work of organizations making a real difference around the world. Their displays highlighted groups such as the Red Cross, WaterAid, WWF, and Doctors Without Borders, offering visitors an engaging look at each organization’s mission and impact.

HOSA Leads Another Successful Toy Drive

Over the past two weeks, our HOSA students have led our second annual LRS Toy Drive with exceptional dedication—from planning and logistics to collecting and organizing donations. Thanks to our generous school community, we gathered an outstanding number of brand-new, unwrapped toys for the Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation’s Miracle on Main, supporting children and families in need this holiday season and beyond.

We were honoured to welcome Tiger Jeet Singh back to LRS, inspiring us with his continued commitment to community service.

Thank you to all students, families, and staff for making this initiative a meaningful success. Your kindness truly makes a difference.

Sports at LRS

On November 28, our middle school boys’ indoor soccer team represented our school with incredible energy and sportsmanship at the SSAF Tournament. The team battled through four thrilling games, showing determination and teamwork every step of the way. Their final match ended in an intense head-to-head tie that highlighted their skill and perseverance. We are so proud of the effort, discipline, and school spirit our athletes displayed throughout the day. Congratulations to all the players on a fantastic tournament!
