A Great Wet Week of Learning

December 16th, 2016

Vol. 2, Issue 37

Dear Lakeside Community,

Our second STEM class filled up within a day. We're thrilled to be able to provide quality after school activities that support the learning and engagement of your children.

Reminder: Girls on the Run Lottery Registration is open. Go to GOTR Registration to register. Contact Staci Checklenis (stacicheck@yahoo.com) if you should have any questions.

Our Winter Program has been rescheduled for Thursday, January 26th at 6 pm in the Community Center. The extra time has enabled our teachers to reshape the evening and provide enough practice time for students. With the two Fridays of the walk-a-thon (one was rescheduled), Feast, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving, the music schedule was too inconsistent to ensure students were ready to perform last week. We hope this date works better for you. In preparation we'll also do a few All School Sing Days...my favorite!

Reminder that Independent Study is a way to clear absences if your child will be out for five or more consecutive days. Talk to your child's teacher so she can start the paperwork. Read up on articles below that can help keep students healthy.

Our mountain residents have access to a Mobile Food Pantry. Click HERE for a document with more information.

Enjoy your weekend....and stay dry!

Warmly,

Dr. Lisa Gonzales

Student Leadership

Kudos to our Student Council Coordinator, Tammy Martin. She has been working with students for the last two months on activities to strengthen school spirit here at Lakeside.

In the last week, students have been selling Candy Grams for 50 cents. They will also be selling them next week, providing seed funds for items to sell at the Student Store, starting in January.

Under direction of 5th grade teacher Kajsa Nelson, students have been raising money for Age of Sail. They've sold See's candy, having sold close to $1700 worth of goods! They also hosted a bake sale/refreshments at last Friday night's Movie Night.

Our staff does such a great job to support students, academically and beyond. It's a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team of adults.
