Lakeside Lightning,
Turning Dreams into Reality!

| Staff at the Strategic Planning Session |
We had an amazing week at Lakeside Middle School! Our week started off with the first annual Boot Camp for incoming 6th graders. We had 4 sessions with a total of 115 students who participated. Students had the opportunity to interact with teachers, learn a little about the school, go on a scavenger hunt, set goals, and build binders. The most important part of the Boot Camp was the fact that students got a chance to meet potential classmates and make new friends.
On Wednesday we had close to 30 staff volunteer to participate in a strategic planning session for Lakeside. Staff took a trip down memory lane and talked about the great things that have happened at Lakeside since we opened our doors in 1999. Then the staff discussed what the ideal school looked like and began to work on a new mission and vision statement. We concluded the event by reflecting on this upcoming year and how we are going to
turn dreams into reality. This work is not finished. We will be having more sessions including all staff, parents, alumni, community members and students. Our goal is to have a new mission and vision statement by December 2016. Stay tuned for more details.
Also on Wednesday, Lakeside staff came out to support the weekly Block Party at 2nd and Pine. We painted faces, played wiffle ball and basketball with the neighborhood children. We will be at this week's block party (August 17 from 10 AM - 2 PM) supporting the Senior High School as they handout bookbags and create memories for the kids. Come on out and support this initiative.
