Lakeshore Students and Parents,
Welcome to a new and very exciting school year! I am thrilled to be back at Lakeshore School and working with such fantastic staff and students. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Tonya Van De Ven, and I have been teaching at Lakeshore for the past two years. Previous to that, I spent a year teaching in England and travelling all over Europe. I will be the homeroom teacher for the Grade 5/6 class where we will spend our time exploring the wonderful world of Spelling and Grammar, Math, and Phys Ed. In addition to this role, I will continue teaching French to the Kindergarten and Grade 1/2 classes. I will be working with all grades in Phys Ed.
I had a wonderful, but very busy summer, going to weddings, working at camp, and travelling to The Netherlands where I had a minor biking accident. I am excited to get back to school and see everyone’s smiling faces!!
