LPCI Library Learning Commons June 23, 2023 Newsletter

Engage, Inspire, Empower

Our goal is to support the success of our students, to promote a life-long enjoyment of reading, and to provide knowledge building experiences with 24/7 access to information in a welcoming environment that is conducive to learning.

We  strive to achieve this goal through attention to Equity, Well Being and Achievement.

In June, we celebrate Pride in the TDSB. It’s an opportunity to celebrate diversity and raise awareness among all staff and students about the rich culture and history of our LGBTQ community. Please see the Pride Month Resource Document we have prepared to help our LPCI Learning Community.

The TDSB proudly recognizes Portuguese-Speaking Heritage Month in June. Please see our resource document Portuguese-Speaking Heritage Month for further support 

The TDSB Character Trait for June is Perseverance. What is perseverance and why is it important?
