3) "The Wild Robot" Whole School Read continues...
From Laura Molloy (she/her), Learning Commons Teacher:
"It was so delightful to have parents and caregivers come to the school to read with us last Friday; thank you to everyone who made it in to celebrate Family Literacy Day.
I saw many copies of "The Wild Robot" being read and enjoyed by parents and students. As you continue reading the book, I will continue to post questions and optional activities for your family to ponder or take part in.
Click here to access the Lochside Learning Commons Whole School Read site."

4) Fun Lunch Sign up / Volunteers Needed (January - June 2024)
Reminder: Fun Lunch orders are open on the hot lunch website: https://lochside.hotlunches.net/
- Please read each order screen carefully - there is often extra information to make ordering as easy as possible.
- Email us at lochsidefunlunch@gmail.com with any questions/concerns sooner rather than later. We would also love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for next year's fun lunches.
