With Lightning speed the summer is over and our Lightning
family has started a brand new school year! It’s great to be back!
We would like to welcome our new staff members and
students to Lafleche Central School and community. Our new
staff members are; Mr. Kelly Chambers, Mrs. Lisa O’Reilly, Mrs.
Sherrie-Lynn Haavisto, and Mrs. Danielle Schmidt. Our new
students are; Dylan (grade 1), Janniqua (grade 4), and Ryan
(grade 5) as well as the 11 new PreK students. We are excited to
have new faces in the building and look forward to working and
getting to know them and their families.
Teachers spent the last few days in August in meetings,
professional development, gathering resources and planning.
We worked together to set goals and plan the extra-curricular
activities for the year. I am so pleased with the commitment and
dedication the staff have already agreed to do!
For most students, their first day started on Thursday,
September 1. Thank you to everyone who joined our LCS
welcome back breakfast. Thanks goes to the School Community
Council who organized the breakfast and all those who donated
muffins for the event.
With school back in full swing, we want to give a friendly
reminder to all the drivers out there to slow down in the school
zone, be mindful of students walking to and from school, and to
not pass buses during loading and unloading times. Thanks for
helping to keep our students safe.
School division budget changes continue to have an effect
on our extra-curricular programs. Specifically, the transportation
and the cost of officials. We are working hard to continue
providing the programs we have in the past and hope that our
families and community are able to continue to support us in this
area.
We are asking parents/guardians, who may be driving for the
LCS sports or activities to please fill in a driver information form
along with a criminal record check. CRCs are free for volunteers,
only need to be completed ONCE and will be kept on file at the

school. Thanks to the parents and staff who
have already completed this.
Our first fundraiser for our school is our
annual bottle drive. This fundraiser will be
ongoing. If you would like to donate, we are
accepting bottles until October 14. A special
shout out goes to Adam Crooks who brought
in his trailer for us to store bottles in. We will
be selling Mom’s Pantry in November. Please
keep your eyes out for the order forms.
In order to help our school run more
smoothly, communication is the key. Please
contact the school if your child/ren will be
absent or if you have any issues or concerns.
Lastly, social media is here to stay and it is
sometimes difficult for us to navigate our way
through it. And for some, even difficult to use
it! We find that the education, proper
etiquette, and the laws have not caught up
with this fast paced way of communicating.
We ask that parents/guardians be cautious
of three things:
1) Know what your child/ren are
doing/saying on social media. Teach them
proper use for their safety.
2) Be cautious of what you are
doing/saying on social media. For example,
when you take pictures at a school event
and post them on a social media site, you
may have other students in the picture who
have not given you permission to post his/her
picture.
3) Social media should not be a place to
rant and bully. Let’s model and teach our
children to use this technology in positive
ways.
I look forward to working with staff, students,
parents and community throughout the year.
Together I believe we make LCS, “A Small
School That Strikes Big!”
MILK CARDS Chocolate or white milk will be sold
beginning Monday, September 19
$25 for 20 milk
Please make cheques out to
Lafleche Central School.
Milk cards purchased and remaining from
last year will be honoured.
Hey everyone, I’m
Mrs. Lisa O’Reilly
and I am a new
teacher at LCS! I
am very excited to
be at LCS this year
and look forward to
meeting all the students and their family
members. I am not living in Lafleche, but I
look forward to becoming a part of the
community so please, if you see me feel free
to stop and say hi or tell me about your day!
I am a spunky Ukrainian who loves to dance.
My hobbies are spending time with family
and friends, camping, swimming, horseback
riding, listening to country music and learning
new things. I am originally from Yorkton, Sk.
and after graduating I moved to Saskatoon
to pursue my B. Ed degree. Afterwards, I
attended SIAST where I received my
Automotive Service Technician Certificate
because my dream is to repair my very first
car which is currently being stored away. I
got married to my husband Andrew on June
20, 2015 in Yorkton and it was a great day full
of love, laughter, happiness, Ukrainian
polka’s and food…. lots of food. We live on a
farm and have many cows (which I love to
work with), horses, cats and our dog, Diezel.
Mrs. Lisa O’Reilly
My name is Kelly

year. I am originally from Saskatoon where I
met my wife Emily of 12 years. We moved to
Regina in 2012, where we still live, so I could

attend the University of Regina. I enjoy the
outdoors and some of my hobbies include
fishing, hockey, and reading. With being
new in the community I look forward to
meeting as many people as I can this year,
so do not hesitate to stop and say hello to
me.
Mr. Kelly Chambers
I am Danielle
Mesquita-Schmidt,
a resident of
Lafleche, SK. My
husband and I
moved six years
ago from Alberta
and we love it
here. I have a 29
year old son in
Calgary. He is a mechanical engineer.
Mrs. Danielle Mesquita-Schmidt
We just recently moved to
Lafleche from Moose Jaw in
January of 2016. I have three
beautiful children, four
wonderful step children, six
precious grandbabies and
another on the way! We live
south of Lafleche and
absolutely love the farm
life!!! In my spare time, I
enjoy working with our horses, taking care of the
chickens, cats and walking our three dogs! I also
enjoy watching our daughter's goat "Goaty" run
and climb all kinds of objects! Indoors, I enjoy
watching movies, reading and spending time
with family. I am thrilled to be a part of LCS!! The
students and staff here are all so kind and
welcoming!!

PREKINDERGARTEN
The Prekindergarten class was super excited
to have started their first couple weeks of
school. They were welcomed by “Pete the
Cat” who has helped make their jump into
the classroom so easy. We have been busy
touring the school, practicing fire drills and
learning many classroom/school routines.
We love the free play exploration and have
been learning about using scissors and white
glue (remember a dot, but not a lot). We
look forward to the year ahead where we will
explore our surroundings and whole self
(physical, socio-emotional, physical, spiritual
and intellectual). What do I love about school
the most?
Hallie - “playing with play dough”
Hampton - “playing outside”
Isabella - “playing”
Brooklyn - “reading Pete the Cat books”
Lawson - “playing in the gym”
Ryder - “playing in the gym”
Olivia - “playing with toys”
Sawyer - “love playing with the farmers”
Have a fabulous month!

KINDERGARTEN
The 2016/2017 Kindergarten class at LCS has
17 unique students enrolled. They are a lively
group ready to explore many new things this
year. We have started the first term, learning
about “Pete the Cat”, colours, all about me
and back to school routines. The full day in
Kindergarten seems to be busy but the
student’s love that they have three recess
periods and a physical education class each
day. In Math, we have started learning
about sorting with colours, size and shape. In
ELA, we have been practicing to write our
name and using illustrations to help explain
our thoughts, feelings and ideas. We have
just began the Jolly Phonics program and
recently learnt about the letter and sound
“Ss”. We look forward to the wonderful year
ahead! In PE, we are getting to know one
another, learning the rules of the gym and
being a good sport. We are working on our
passing for Pass, Punt and Kick.

BANTAM GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
We are very excited about our volleyball
season this year. We have a very large team
of 14 players, so it is important that we get
parent drivers for games. The regular
practice schedule is still pending. Once we
have a game schedule, we will be
distributing a practice and a game schedule
to all players. Due to a disappearance of
jerseys in the past, Mrs. Cornet and Ms. Elek
will be keeping track of the jerseys. Players
will only be in possession of jerseys for games,
and then they will be handed back to the
coaches. Our first game is on Tuesday,
September 13; we hope to see you there!
