Pink Shirt Day. BE KIND 💕
Today is Pink Shirt Day! 🩷
Queen Elizabeth School community is encouraged to wear a pink shirt to raise awareness about bullying, particularly in schools. The 2025 Pink Shirt Day theme is all about cultivating a community of kindness. Just like tending to a garden, together, we can each help nurture a sense of belonging where we live, work, and go to school. It all starts with small gestures— a kind word, an offer of support or understanding. BE KIND today and every day!
Join us at our upcoming School Council meeting, Tuesday, February 25th @ 5:15. This is a great opportunity to stay informed, share your ideas and get involved in decions that help shape our school community. All parents/guardians are welcome. Your voice matters. We hope to see you there.
Pizza Day is coming up. Orders are due by Monday, February 24th via School Cash Online. 🍕😋

🌟 Celebrating Black History Month at LKDSB 🌟
Every February, we reflect on the incredible achievements and contributions of Black Canadians. But at LKDSB, we believe in celebrating Black history year-round. Our educators bring Black history, voices, and perspectives into classrooms every day, fostering understanding and respect for the cultural contributions that have shaped our world.
This February, join us as we shine a spotlight on events, lessons, and activities across our Board to honour the lasting legacy of Black Canadians. It’s an opportunity for students, families, and communities to learn, celebrate, and be inspired by the remarkable individuals who’ve shaped our past—and continue to shape our future.
We invite you to explore the rich history of Black Canadians, including the powerful stories from our own local communities. Together, let’s build a more inclusive, compassionate, and prosperous Canada, today and every day!✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
