National Junior Honor Society 
The World Is Yours: Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities

Lakeside Middle School faced some challenges this week with the unprecedented student walkout. This was completely new for the administration and we felt like we made the best decision. Unfortunaltey, not everyone agreed with it and we understand. We seek to include more teachers and parents as we plan for the next scheduled walkout on April 20. Dr. Cook will be sending out an invitation to include parents and teachers in a planning meeting. Stay tuned for more information.

The National Junior Honor Society had their induction last week on Wednesday. Mrs. Booz and Mrs. Gaudio did an excellent job of coordinating the event. We had a great turn out from the parents and relatives of those who were inducted! Congratulations! Here is the list of our new NJHS members.

On Saturday, March 17, LMS hosted the first Millville Youth Empowerment Summit! We had about 60 students and 20 parents attend this event. Everyone was so positive of the impact that the Summit had on them! Since it was such a success, the committee is already planning for next year! Stay tuned for more information!

Square Foot Gardening - Thanks to Mrs. Balinge for winning the Grant 
The Square Foot Gardening Club is building a vegetable garden in the courtyard by the auxiliary gym. We will be planting peas, lettuce, carrots, beets and other spring vegetables. Students are planning their raised beds based on the Square Foot method, which is designed to produce more food in less space. We are looking forward to a bountiful, delicious harvest!
