Turning Dreams Into Reality!

It is always hard to top awesomeness but we continue to do it here at Lakeside Middle School. This week we learned that our school raised Grand Total $14,260 for our Fall Fundraiser!!! Thank you to everyone who participated and to Mrs. Salvati for her enthusiasm.

We had an awesome Week of Respect last week. On Tuesday we wore RED, on Wednesday we wore Workout gear and on Friday we wore Hats! We had a lot of participation with students and teachers. Be sure to check the pictures from around the school section of the blog.

Our week was capped off with a movie for the PBSIS program. Students with 20 or more Zaps were eligible to watch Ghostbusters in the Auditorium. Thank you to all of the staff and students who support the PBSIS program!

Each month the Cumberland County Reminder is focusing on the great things happening in Millville Public Schools. Of course, Lakeside has been well represented the past two months for all of the community work and learning activities going on around the school. Be sure to check out the Cumberland County Reminder!

Mrs. Cuesta's class on Facebook Live 
Mrs. Cuesta's class have been uising their class Twitter account to connect with authors for our Literacy Initative.

This week, the students participated in a Facebook Live event featuring the authors R.L. Stine, who wrote Goosebumps and Dan Poblocki, who wrote The Nightmarys (which is our 7th grade summer reading).

The students enjoyed the experience and will continue to use Social Media to connect with authors they are reading!



Honoring a Lakeside Legand
Last week Lakeside Middle School hosted Mr. Baruffi's Retirement Party. The event was well attended and we were able to acknowledge Mr. Baruffi for his dedication to the Millville Publich Schools, and specifically Lakeside Middle School! Enjoy your retirement, Mr. Baruffi!
Thank you for everything, Mr. Baruffi!
