LPCI Library Learning Commons June 9, 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 Character Trait for June is Perseverance. What is perseverance and why is it important?

These quotes demonstrate the effects of the riots on our Canadian history that we remember today and always.
