Saturday, June 9, 2012 an officer from the City of Kawartha Lakes detachment of the OPP attended Lady Eaton Elementary School in Omemee, and observed a motor vehicle conducting turns on the grass near the school. The officer approached the vehicle and subsequently charged the driver and both occupants with trespassing.
Spring arrives on March 20th and spring weather is fast approaching!
The thaw makes our play yards wet and muddy. We would appreciate receiving any laundered, gently-used children’s clothing that no longer fit your child. Clean pants, tops and socks in good condition would provide a change of clothing in case of a messy emergency. Also, it’s a good idea to send extra clothing for your own child, especially pants and socks, so they can change should the mud puddle prove to be too enticing!
Earth Hour: Turn off your lights on Saturday, March 26 th from 8:30 – 9:30 p.m.
Millions of people around the world will turn off their lights on March 26th for Earth Hour in support of action on climate change. We hope to make Earth Hour even bigger this year but we need your help! Encourage your friends and family to participate. You can do lots of fun things in the dark! Plan a candlelight dinner for a loved one or a group of friends. Play board games, tell stories, and sings songs with your kids and your neighbours. Get your business or workplace involved. Don’t stop at turning off the lights. Think about what else can be done to reduce your footprint: car pooling, unplugging unused electrical appliances, and washing your clothes in cold water. The list is endless, and your actions will make a big difference. LEES will participate in an earth hour on Friday, March 25 th by turning of lights, computers and powering down as much as safely possible.

Principal Announces Retirement
Lady Eaton Elementary School principal, B.J. Mailloux-Brown, announced her coming retirement in the March issue of the Lady Eaton Elementary School Newsletter. In a letter addressed to parents, Ms. Mailloux-Brown reported it is “with mixed emotions” that she will be taking retirement as of April 30th, 2011.
In the March newsletter, the LEES principal reflects on her teaching career of thirty–one years, and her enjoyment in working with the families and staff of schools in the Victoria County ( now Trillium-Lakelands) school board.
Principal Mailloux-Brown points out that by taking retirement at the end of April, it will allow for a smooth transition for the new incoming principal. Ms. Mailloux-Brown and her husband are looking forward to their daughter’s wedding in June, and are planning to move closer to her daughter and new husband when she retires, so they will be very busy in the coming months.
You will want to be sure to read her heart warming letter in the eCopy of the newsletter found here.
