Leaside High School 75 occurs in 2020 — all those years since the 1945 upheaval of peaceful pastures at Eglinton East and Hanna Rd. It’s been good. Now the Leaside High School Alumni Association will meet Tuesday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the school to make plans. The meeting is open to LHS alumni. No doubt there will be a warm welcome from the committee headed by Larry Hurd. Also on board are Earl Manners, Barb Wasson Dafoe, Lynda Green, Catherine Rooney, Elaine LeBlanc, Caroline Miller, Nick Mitchell, Simon Stevenson, Jeannette Plonka (principal). More are needed.
RON FELSEN
The greatly-liked former principal of Northern Secondary School, Ron Felsen, is busy. Ron now shoulders the burden of being “centrally assigned” as he looks after a number of portfolios in the Teaching and Learning Department at TDSB including Guidance, Experiential Learning (Tech, Co-op, Business), Apprenticeship programs and the Student Success initiative. It is challenging work but, says Ron, “I’m learning a lot and enjoying it very much. It is a big change from Northern but great to be involved in large-scale projects and to help make changes at the system level that benefit students.” Thousands will no doubt be wishing good luck to the man they called Mr. Felsen.
