A sincere thanks to Mrs. Preece for organizing a
very informative "Internet Bullying" evening
with Constable Mel Wright. For those

Our students were also lucky to receive a presentation
by Constable Wright as well.
Talking to your child regarding Internet
Bullying will assist in keeping them safe.

 Pizza Fundraiser
Thank you to the Lakeroad families who
participated in the New Orleans Pizza fundraiser.

 Book
Fair
Sincere thanks to all who attended our Buy One
Get One / Summer Reads Book Fair this month.
Unlike our previous Book Fairs this year, this
was a year end sale, therefore there was no
direct profit to the School from this Fair.
However, Scholastic is giving the school a
$125.00 gift certificate to use at our Fall Fair
to purchase books for the school library and
classrooms. Scholastic will donate $616.42
in books (50% of our net sales from this fair)
to children's hospitals across Canada through
Children's Miracle Network as well as to select
Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies.
Our next Book Fair, in the fall will be October
15th - 22nd, 2008. Sincere thanks to "The
Book Lady", Mrs. Wright for all of her time and
dedication with our Book Fairs this year.
The staff and students really appreciate all of
Mrs. Wright's commitment in bringing books to
Lakeroad School.

Dear New Parents;
On behalf of the Lakeroad Public School Parent
Council, WELCOME!
By enrolling your child in Lakeroad Public
School, you have become a part of a very proud
family. We are a school community like no
other - we're proud, we're proactive and we're
cohesive.
The Lakeroad School Parent Council is comprised
of parents who wish to be involved in their
child's or children's school so that they can
help ensure the most positive learning
environment possible for their family. We all play an important part in our children's
education.
Our Council meets a minimum of 4 times
throughout the school year, along with our
Principal; a staff member representing the
union; a teacher; and at least 2 student
representatives, to discuss issues concerning our
school community. At times, we may
communicate with the Lambton Kent District
School Board to effect changes we feel necessary
to improve the quality of learning in our
school. We often have guest speakers who
visit to inform us on issues affecting our
children - bullying, smoking & drug awareness,
child safety and healthy habits to name a few.
We would like to take this opportunity to ask
you to consider becoming involved on our Parent
Council for this school year.
All of our parents on Council are volunteers,
some of who may also volunteer in other areas of
the school, for example: fundraising, milk
programs, book fairs, band and sports. As
a Council member, you are not required to commit
to volunteering in any other area, nor will you
be pressured to participate in anything you
don't wish to. You are only required to
come out to at least 3 meetings and offer input
during our discussions.
Many of our Council members have been involved
for several years, as their children progress
through the grades, and we are all proud to be a
part of making things happen at Lakeroad.
Everyone is welcome at Council meetings so
please come out, listen, and see if being a
Council member is right for you.
We're looking forward to meeting you!
Lakeroad School Council
