Snapshots of Excellence April 2018

Welcome to the Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB) Director's Snapshots of Excellence. The following is a snapshot from the past month of innovative and fun learning opportunities, success stories and demonstrations of community engagement featuring students and staff from across the LKDSB. Get inspired and learn how our students are shaping our world.

In January 2018, LKDSB Board Office staff saw a post on Twitter by Mrs. Parry of H. W. Burgess Public School regarding a post office she opened in her classroom with the support of Canada Post. In order to support this unique learning initiative, Board Office Staff decided to mail Valentine's Day cards and other cards to the students. The word quickly spread and soon other LKDSB staff and community members decided to send other materials to the students through the mail.

Through the magic of Twitter, the classroom received mail from all around the world. The class tracked the amount of mail it received and its origins.

Students demonstrate their talents using various mediums in art classes across the LKDSB.
