Track Meet Update Laronde did very well at last week’s Track Meet! Out of 16 participating schools, our school was a runner up in the Sportsmanship award, our Tykes team placed 3rd, and our school placed third overall! All and all a great day for our athletes and community! A BIG thank you to all of our staff and parent coaches, parent volunteers who helped at the event, and our track coordinators Mme Rouleau-­‐Guest and Mme DesLauriers! Parking Tip of the Week Do you really need to drop off your child at the door in the morning? Especially if your child is older there are alternatives around the school that are both safe and convenient. If you are driving south on 131st Street from 20th Avenue, have you thought about pulling over on 131st, or in the little cul-­‐de-­‐sac, and have your child use the crosswalk on Laronde Drive to walk the rest of the way? Just one more idea to try to reduce the volume of traffic in the parking lot in the morning making it safer for all students. Merci! Please note for next week June 12 Staff appreciation lunch Community Events/Opportunities From the Frontiersmen of the Commonwealth We are looking for a school crossing guard for Ecole Laronde to do crosswalk at 130th Street and 16th Avenue between the hours of 8-­‐9am and 2:15-­‐3:15pm.
