LCCPA Chair Priscilla Whitehead thanked parent volunteers at yesterday’s Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast.  Here’s what she had to say:

_________________________________________________________________________________

Non Nobis Solum – Not for Ourselves Alone

… LCC’s school motto which each of you has embodied by being a parent volunteer.

…“Catch me doing something good”…the Junior School theme for this year.

…Well, LCC has caught YOU! Caught each of you doing something good!

…Good for LCC, good for the teachers, good for the students, good for your own children, but more importantly…good for ALL of LCC’s children.

Non Nobis Solum – Not for Ourselves Alone… LCC has caught you …

… Caught you as a mentor to a new LCC family, making them feel more comfortable;

… Caught you welcoming LCC families at the Fall BBQ;

… Caught you handing our water at the LCC Terry Fox Run;

… Caught you covering books in the back room of the library;

… Caught you reading with Junior School students in the Book Club;

… Caught you helping the kindergarten teachers serve a Thanksgiving feast;

… Even caught you in your own kitchens baking and cooking for LCC’s Staff Appreciation event;

… Caught you helping students with an art project to thank their teachers, crossing guards, kitchen and maintenance staff;

… Yes, even caught you doing a job that nobody wants to do, but you did it anyway… combing through hair and reassuring little students as part of the junior school “Lice Squad…now there’s an act of Non Nobis Solum if I ever saw one!

… Caught you working on committees to plan events and to assist LCC Administration;

Non Nobis Solum – Not for Ourselves Alone

… Caught so many of you volunteering at the LCC Store, folding t-shirts, helping students find supplies…making it possible for the LCC Store to donate its profits (a substantial amount!) to the Bursary Fund.

Non Nobis Solum – Not for Ourselves Alone … for whom then?

…For current and future LCC students…for students who otherwise would not be able to attend LCC.

Yes, LCC caught you doing something good!

… Caught you making your children proud;

… Caught you being a role model for ALL the children at LCC, big and small.

…LCC has caught you embodying the LCC motto by being a Parent Volunteer.

Non Nobis Solum – Not for Ourselves Alone

And now that you’ve been caught…

LCC and the LCCPA would like to let you know how much you are appreciated, and would like to say…

“THANK YOU!!!”– Priscilla Whitehead, LCCPA Chair
