Lloyd S. King Elementary School 2021-2022 award winners
Posted on June 29, 2022
The Lloyd S. King Elementary School (LSK) community gathered for the first time since the pandemic started to celebrate students’ success, resilience, and perseverance throughout the year.
Students, families, teachers, and staff from LSK held its annual Awards Ceremony to end the 2021-2022 school year on June 29 at the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) Community Centre.
Principal James Medway said he was very proud of all of the students for their efforts and understanding throughout the year.
“I’m immensely proud,” he said. “They have persevered… To look back at the school year and everything they’ve done and accomplished, it’s amazing. It’s certainly been a very unique year.”
The ceremony began with a morning smudge, followed by a drum song and opening prayer.
Awards were presented to a boy and girl from each grade (Kindergarten to Gr. 8) for the four quadrants of the medicine wheel including, East – physical, which exemplifies strength and effort in sports, sportsmanship, physical education, and healthy living; The South – socio-emotional which exemplifies strength and effort in music, drama, dance, visual arts, and social interactions; the West – mental, which exemplifies strength and effort in overall academics; and the North, which exemplifies living a good life according to Anishinaabek teachings.
Councillor Kelly LaForme, who attended the ceremony said he was glad the students and families could gather after so much time apart.
“They have been through a lot,” he said. “I’m happy for them and I wish them all the best.”
