This day also encourages us to learn more about Indigenous perspectives, traditions, and experiences, helping all students grow their understanding, respect, and appreciation for the diversity that strengthens our community. Importantly, it is a time to reflect on the impacts of the past, and to commit to building a future grounded in respect, inclusion, and reconciliation. By recognizing this day, we support meaningful learning, foster empathy, and help create a more inclusive and informed school community.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Loughborough Kindergarten Open House</strong></b></u><img src="/images/c072d8b9-1b78-44a3-abdc-aeebefd325c6?fingerprint=ppb20260601161145" alt="Kinder open house 2026" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></h3><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" style="text-align: left;"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Tick Checks</strong></b></u></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><img src="https://cdn.smore.com/u/thumbs/fd20/thumb-4e8d9e6a7dd3dd7e3c9d24ef30430826.jpeg" alt="" width="275" height="183" style="border:0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);boxSizing:border-box;-TwBorderSpacingX:0;-TwBorderSpacingY:0;-TwTranslateX:0;-TwTranslateY:0;-TwRotate:0;-TwSkewX:0;-TwSkewY:0;-TwScaleX:1;-TwScaleY:1;-TwScrollSnapStrictness:proximity;-TwRingOffsetWidth:0px;-TwRingOffsetColor:#fff;-TwRingColor:rgba(49,190,200,.5);-TwRingOffsetShadow:0 0 #0000;-TwRingShadow:0 0 #0000;-TwShadow:0 0 #0000;-TwShadowColored:0 0 #0000;display:block;verticalAlign:middle;height:183px;maxWidth:100%;maxHeight:100%;borderRadius:0.25rem;backgroundColor:transparent;objectFit:contain;width:275px"><a href="https://cdn.smore.com/u/fd20/4e8d9e6a7dd3dd7e3c9d24ef30430826.jpeg" title="Expand" class="editor-link"></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">With the nicer weather, classes will be spending more time outside and participating in outdoor field trips.

LDSB Students to Represent Canada at European Stock Sport Championships

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In August 2026, four Limestone District School Board (LDSB) students will represent the Canadian Ice Stock Federation (CISF) at the U16 European Stock Sport Championships in Oberwart, Austria.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Representing Loughborough Public School are Caleb Hammer and Preston Klein, both in their final year of elementary school. They will be joined by Jayden Kermeen of Frontenac Secondary School and Lucas Hammer of Sydenham High School.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Often described as a combination of curling and bocce, stock sport originated centuries ago in the Alpine regions of Austria and Germany. Players slide a stock toward a target, known as a daube, using precision and strategy to place it closer than their opponents. While the sport began on ice, it is now played on both ice and non-ice surfaces using specialized equipment.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This August’s European Championships will mark the first time a Canadian youth team has competed in an international stock sport event. The team will compete against athletes from several nations in Austria, widely considered the heart of the sport. These LDSB students are not only representing Canada—they are making history. This experience will also provide a unique opportunity for international competition and cultural exchange.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To help offset travel and accommodation costs, the team has been actively fundraising and seeking sponsorship support. Their next major fundraiser will be a Schnitzel Dinner on July 18, 2026, at Golden Links Hall in Harrowsmith, with both dine-in and take-out options available. Tickets are $25 and include schnitzel, sauerkraut, and German potato salad. The meal will be prepared by Brian Breitwiesser, former owner of the Amadeus Café in Kingston.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Those interested in attending can reserve tickets by contacting Chris Hammer at </span><a href="mailto: hammer4974@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">hammer4974@gmail.com</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/4edd6e3b-0cee-495a-bf45-e3cc340cd19c?fingerprint=ppb20260616161140" alt="655959884 1105359641764020 8980726143196242946 n" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">&nbsp;</span></p>

Pride Month Recognition in Limestone

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board (LDSB) Education Centre, along with schools across the district, is recognizing Pride Month in the KFL&amp;A region by flying the Progress Pride Flag for the remainder of the school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Government of Canada notes that the manner in which the Canadian flag is displayed is not governed by legislation. The guidelines provided are not mandatory for individuals or organizations but are intended to offer general direction.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After consultation and clarification from Heritage Canada and communication with trustees, LDSB schools with only one flagpole will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag for the balance of this school year.&nbsp; Limestone’s goal will be to increase the number of schools with more than one flagpole and/or the addition of yardarms to existing flagpoles to display more than the Canadian flag. Until this goal is achieved, we will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag at sites with only one flagpole.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Displaying the Progress Pride Flag is a way for LDSB to show support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. This recognition does not diminish our respect for Canada’s national flag; rather, it reflects our commitment to ensuring that all students, staff, and families feel welcomed, valued, and respected in Limestone schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Flying the Progress Pride Flag is one example of how LDSB demonstrates its inclusive culture. As a publicly funded school board, we have both a legal and moral responsibility to create learning environments where everyone can see themselves reflected and feel a sense of belonging.</span></p>
