February 20 - 24, 2017

Lakeside Lightning,

Turning Dreams Into Reality 

Mr. Fien won one of the In-Service raffles 
We hope you enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather this past weekend. Who would have thought we would be wearing shorts?

Parents - Thank you for taking the kids for a 4 day weekend! We used the time on Friday to continue our updating of the curriculum, sharing best practices, and we even had time to have a little fun! Our in-service was a success because our teachers and the RAC were able to have time and space to plan and reflect on how we can best meet the needs of your children. We are grateful to have the time!

This past week we also had our first Pajama Day at LMS in a long time. The PBSIS sponsored event raised over 150 dollars that will be used for our upcoming events. Since this was such a big hit, we are going to have another Pajama Day on March 17th!

Franklin Institute Traveling Science Show at LMS - Wednesday, February, 22 at 7:00 PM
Parents as Leaders is an organization that has been working with Lakeside families as well as families at Silver Run and Bacon. They are partnering with the Franklin Institute and hosting an event here at Lakeside on February 22nd at 7:00. The Franklin Institute will perform their Traveling Science Show in our auditorium. This event has been paid for completely by Parents as Leaders so it is free for all Lakeside, Bacon, and Silver Run families. We are hoping to have a fantastic turnout!

After the show, we are looking to set up tables outside of the auditorium where the families can participate in small scale science experiments and observe demonstrations. . We currently have science teachers from Silver Run and Lakeside who are going to set up experiments with the help of their students. Be sure to come out and enjoy a special evening.

Winners of the Week - Two weeks in a row for the 6th grade! The students enjoyed fruit, crock pot oatmeal, organic juice, granola bars, and muffins while viewing a video on Koko the Gorilla to enhance the students' understanding of the endangered species and the importance of protecting these creatures.  This is an extended activity to support our benchmark.
