Lucky Heads out for More Adventures
LCPS Mascot
goes Travelling
Valerie Gillies
Lucknow Sentinel
Last year's after school
program students wrote a
book about the Lucknow
Central Public School Mas-
cot, Lucky the Lynx called
"Lucky's Amazing Adven-
tures': The same year, stuffed
toys were created of Lucky to
be given to students at LCPS.
This school year, Mrs. Black's
grade 5/6 class have decided
to send a stuffy of Lucky to
other schools in the Bluewa-
ter District School Board to
have even more adventures.
The original book fea-
tured photographs and sto-
ries of Lucky getting into
mischief in and around
Lucknow Central Public
School. The class is sending
a note with Lucky to the
other schools to get pic-
tures of Lucky having
adventures in their schools.
A copy of the original book
will travel with Lucky to
give the other school
examples of what he has
already done. Once he has
had his fun, the hosting
school will then send him
on to another school to
continue his travels.
The class is asking all of
the schools who have a visit
from Lucky to send back a
photo of their mascot.
These pictures, along with
those of Lucky's adventures
will be made into a slide
show for the school. Yes,
Lucky is moving up from
print to the screen. Accord-
ing to the class, Lucky may
even sign autographs.
The first school that
Lucky will visit is Hillcrest
Central in Teeswater. One
of the classmates of the
5/6ers has moved to that
school, so Lucky will be
starting his adventures in a
school where he will
already know someone.
Lucky will return to LCPS
after June 1, 2015. To ensure
this happens, there is a note
that will travel with Lucky to
asking if anyone receives a
visit from him after this date
that they are to return him to
Lucknow Central Public
School as soon as they can.
