Week 1 – Friday, March 6
📢 Today’s Announcements
✏️ Pencil Reminder
Friendly reminder: you are fully capable of keeping track of one pencil. Let’s prove it.
🎤 Assembly Today
We will be having a school assembly at 10:10 am in the gym featuring Daneesha Provo. All students will attend and teachers will bring their classes when it is time.
Please remember our assembly expectations:
• Enter the gym quietly and sit with your class
• Be respectful and give the speaker your full attention
• Keep talking to a minimum so everyone can hear and enjoy the presentation
Let’s represent LT well and show our guest what a respectful audience looks like.
⏰ Lunch Reminder
Today at lunch:
• Badminton Team Tryouts
🥧 Pi Day Challenge
Did you know Chinese mathematicians were far ahead of the West in calculating the digits of pi? One reason was that they already used decimal notation and had a symbol for zero, something European mathematicians did not widely use until much later.
Next week, Grade 7 and 8 classes will compete during math class to see who can memorize the most digits of pi.
• Each class will have one winner who will receive 2 free Pizza Day lunches
• The overall winner will receive 4 free Pizza Day lunches
Stay tuned to see who becomes the LT Pi Champion for 2026.
🍪 Bake Sale Next Week
Next week we will be holding a Bake Sale on Tuesday, March 10 and Wednesday, March 11.
All proceeds will support the Black Educators Association, a non-profit organization that supports African Nova Scotian learners through programs such as tutoring, math camps, workshops, and a provincial spelling bee.
Bring some change next week, grab a treat, and support a great organization!
