Principal’s Notes

Story Time with Steph

Hello Good Humans of LEC!


I hope that you are all taking advantage of the summer weather -however that lands for you. This past week we had our pottery event and OH! my GOODNESS!! The very cool snails that came out of this adventure filled the dining hall with such joy! Thank you to everyone who came out and tried their hand at this artful adventure! Don't forget to come back and paint your creature on the 24th of July! Then they will be fired in the kiln at the Art School of Peterborough and then be ready for your joyful collection! I can barely wait to see all the magic that comes from this time together, dear humans! This day July 24th is also the National day of Self-Care! There will be a wide selection of options offered on campus to take time to highlight some self-care avenues you might want to traverse. I think that pottery painting is up there on the list for me of self-care activities. Woot Woot!! LEC What!? LEC This!

What’s Coming Up at LEC?

On July 10th, We met with an instructor from the Art School of Peterborough and made our very own snail pottery! Our snails have now been fired and are ready for painting!
On July 24th, the group will meet again to paint their pieces before they are sent to the kiln and prepared for pick-up!
Both events will be from 4-6pm.

A black graphic with purple books reads "The LEC Book Club is Reading Howl’s Moving Castle" "The first meeting is scheduled for July 9th, 6-7pm on Zoom to discuss up to our halfway point. The second meeting will be on July 23rd, 6-7pm on Zoom to share thoughts on the completed book."

LEC has chosen Howl’s Moving Castle for our next round of reading, you won’t want to miss it!

The Sorting Sword

 A black/grey wooden background. To the right there is a sword standing vertical with the sun shining down upon it. The text on the left reads "The Sorting Sword, where do you belong?"

Hello friends of LEC! Welcome to the Sorting Sword!


There are obviously so many Pokémon to sort and despite how fun it would be, I do not have the time to Sort ‘Em All! So instead, I’ve picked Pokémon from 3 places


  1. This list of most popular Pokémon

  2. Pokémon that I thought represented each College Mascot

  3. Other random ones that Maddie told me I should do (they are really the expert)


I think some of these picks are pretty self-explanatory, but as I spent a lot of time sorting this week, I’m going to keep the column pretty short!


Until next time!


Pokémon

So, there is obviously a lot of Pokémon here, but upon reflection, I think I may have accidentally assigned each Pokémon type to a College through my selections… so I actually did that below!

Pokémon Types

A couple comments on these choices:

  • Giving Champlain fire and ice was an interesting choice on my part but it seemed to fit for some reason, so here we are.

  • I think our LEC vibes fit the world of Pokémon very well and so our types fit perfectly

  • I think I’ve decided Traill is dark and mysterious so they get all the cool ones

  • I’m not sure if it was the science complex or the colour scheme but OC and electric just felt right.

  • Placing Pokémon in Gzowski was hard because I think they all kind of fit in Gzowski, but the grass type vibes fit best.

Think-its’n’Trinkets

There are images of Maddie pointing at various Pokémon cards and action figures. There is text that reads: Time for Think-its'n'-Trinkets Volume Ten.

Hello my faithful readers~!


As some of you may know I collect Pokémon cards and I have since I was a kid. I became a fan through playing Pokémon HeartGold on my DS and I started collecting cards as my obsession grew. For a time reference the games were released in 2009 and this is a testament for how long Pokémon has had a grasp on me.


I got back into collecting cards in high school and haven’t really slowed down since. I would love to take up my entire column just discussing the best TCG cards and the meta but I won’t subject you all to that and instead I would like to showcase the coolest card I have ever pulled and my favourite single that I have added to my collection.

My roommate pulled this card and gave it to me as a birthday gift with my word that I wouldn’t sell/trade it. At the time it was worth about $80 and now it is up to over $200. If you are shocked by the sheer amount of money that cardboard is worth, I would like to say that is just the start of it. Arguably collecting Pokémon cards are an investment, but one you will likely never get a return on.


Oh well, I really love my shiny cardboard and if anyone has any old Pokémon cards taking up space in their crawl space, please reach out to me. I know of a loving home where they could go- *cough cough* my house.

Stay groovy,
