  • Strategic Plan 2015 2020.Pdf
    t is with honour and pride that I present to you, the members of our community, the Lester B. Pearson School Board 2015-2020 IStrategic Plan. This plan is the result of the extraordinary efforts of a dedicated, experienced group of administrators from our schools, centers and head office, with valuable input garnered from our consultative partners. All involved were clearly focused on providing a well-rounded framework that ensures the success of our students. The three main directions within recognize the evolving environment within our schools and centers - student-led learning using the tools and technologies that will be necessary for their future, in a safe and caring space. It allows for diversity in learning styles as well as teaching styles. The plan also recognizes that mental and physical well-being are essential factors in learning. Lester B. Pearson School Board continues to lead in recognizing students’ needs for today and tomorrow. This Strategic Plan allows all staff to focus on the next five years, to plan for and build an infrastructure that supports the needs of both students and teachers and to guide the students to achieving their goals, not the least of which, as the title of this plan suggests, is life-long learning. Each of the three directions in the plan has well-articulated objectives with measurable results. The bar has been set high, but we have no doubt that as has been the case in past, we will achieve these results. On behalf of the Council of Commissioners I would like to thank Mr. Thomas Rhymes for leading the effort to create this plan and the many staff members who contributed to it.

    > c g C/l ^ rn H C 1 ^ H 3 C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S A N D HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY ECS This year marks the eightieth consecutive year that Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School has offered a scholarly education to young women in Montreal. In these changing times it is important for our School Community to be reminded of the stability which institutions such as ECS give to our city. To celebrate this great achievement Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School had a three day 80th Birthday Party during the first weekend in November 1989 culminating in the official opening of the new 12,000 square-foot building extension. The annual Founders' Day service took place on Thursday, November 2. Mrs. Jean Stavert Welsford, Class of 1914 and present when the original school opened in 1909, came to give the students a real sense of tradition and continuity. The audience heard the finalists in the Old Girls' Public Speaking Contest and Miss Maysie MacSporran, Class of 1922, Teacher from 1933-39, and Headmistress from 1940-61, was guest speaker. On Friday afternoon the gymnasium was transformed into a garden, complete with rose arbour, for the Time-Warp bazaar organized by Grade Ten and tea was served to parents, company members, hoard members, old girls, past parents and friends of the School. Members of the Junior and Senior Choirs and the School Band performed for the guests. There was a Fashion Show which featured costumes from eight decades.
