We are now approaching the season when inclement weather may affect the safety and welfare of students. In particular, snowy weather has the potential to cause school closure or some School District 61 services to be suspended. During inclement weather, information about schools will be updated continuously on the Greater Victoria School District 61 website at http://www.sd61.bc.ca. Within the Greater Victoria School District, the Superintendent of Schools, John Gaiptman, will provide media outlets with information about the status of our facilities and transportation services by 6:30 a.m.

In December, Mrs. Smith's Math/Science self-pace and Special Education classes went to visit the residents at "The Victorian" on Feltham Ave. Fourteen students, with the help of teacher Mrs. Smith and E.A's, Mr. Mitchner and Ms. Cassidy, walked over to the home to meet about 30 residents (who were mostly over 90 years old!) The class made them Christmas presents and cookies. We read them winter stories and listened to their own stories from their life. It was a truly memorable experience and we hope to keep this Lambrick tradition annually.
