Just a reminder to all parents, especially
with an increasing number of field trips, that
if y multiple field
trips, we d ask you to fill out the vulnerable
sector background police check form. As it
can take 6-8 weeks to get a response, early
planning is necessary. Please help!
Most importantly, we re asking all
parents to complete the on-line survey
regarding our Family Wellness Night
planned for Thurs., April 12th. At this
time, we have less than 5% completed.
Please do your part it s just 1-2
minutes! and complete the survey!

chance to rest before the remainder of the
second semester, and herald a return to
consistently warmer temperatures!

High Water Levels Bring Increased Risks
The Toronto and Region Conservation monitors
hazardous ice conditions as thaw begins and are
reminding everyone to be very careful around all bodies of
water. The first hint of warming weather and the promise
of spring thaw can bring extreme danger to the shores and
surfaces of streams, rivers, ponds and lakes, according to
Toronto and Region Conservation.
As warmer temperatures arrive, stream banks become
increasingly slippery and unstable. Lake and river ice
weakens, becoming thinner or with higher flows breaking
with little or no warning. During this time, the potential
for flooding and ice jamming is high.
Higher, faster-flowing water and extreme cold
temperatures combine to create increased dangers on or
near rivers, streams and ponds for people wishing to enjoy
the seasonal changes. Parents and caregivers are being
asked to keep children away from stream banks, ponds
and lakes.

Basketball @ LPCS
I am so happy to announce that the Lambton Park Flames Jr. Basketball team played their hearts out in a close semi-
final tournament. Away from home at Humber Valley our students brought their “A” game while competing in 4 long and
fast-passed games. We ended the season 2nd in the semi-finals and I could not be more proud. The teamwork and
positive attitudes that each student brought to the court was both exciting to watch and inspiring to be apart of. I am so
proud of every student who participated in the 2018 Jr Basketball program. GO LAMBTON !!! - Coach Fallis

Can Tab Collection
Our can tab collection has been growing more and more since November last year! It all started with one
really impressive persuasive speech by Joseph Althoff. One day our teacher Ms. Markandonis gave us an
assignment to make a persuasive speech of our choice.
Joseph taught us the use of can tabs and this was just a small project and now we will estimate we have
over 3,500 can tabs. Joseph just started with a gatorade bottle it was such a persuasive speech that now we
got like 3k since November so 3 months!! Now our goal is 5k for this year but if we beat that goal it could
be higher. This can help the people with disabilities because can tabs can melt it down then turn them into
canes, wheelchairs and other things to help people in needs.
Can tabs are clean and easy to collect because they are smaller than pop cans and take less room to keep.
It is also part of recycling. So it’s an absolutely wonderful way to help to maintain the healthy
environment. Collecting pop can tabs are so easy and fun to collect because pop is so popular, and when
you have a pop at school (although it’s better to drink water) give it to Ms. Morrone you can get three
dojo points. (Yay!!!) You can get pop can tabs not just from pop cans but also juice cans that have the
tabs, or anything with a tab.
So, Lambton Park families, please bring in more can tabs to Lambton Park to help the environment and
elders and people in needs!!!!
Victoria from Ms. Morrone’s class is proud to donate two gallons of can tabs. WOW!!!
