Lakeside Lightning,
Turning Dreams Into Reality

| Ms. Zeiters opening the Winter Concert |
We had another amazing week at Lakeside Middle School. Our 6th, 7th and 8th graders did a phenomenal job with the Winter Concerts. They took on challenging songs and performed them at high level. We must also acknowledge Ms. Zieters and Mrs. Booz for leading the Band and Chorus!
In addition to the Winter Concerts, we had our annual Book Fair in the Library. We are not sure how much money we raised, but the early indication is that we did better than last year. Our staff Sub Committees and School Leadership Team met last week. They are improving the school with their ideas and programs!

This week the AVID students and the Millville Neighborhood Alliance will be meeting in Mrs. Lokuta. The Neighborhood Alliance will be sharing with our students the criteria for their Millville improvement projects. This venture is very exciting! Stay tuned for more details.
We will also be planning our Professional Development this week. Selected teachers will be working with administration and the RAC to plan out the January, February and March In-services.
Student Bloggers of the Week - Mrs. Bergman is working with 8th graders to tell the story of LMS through their eyes. This week we are featuring two bloggers (Joel Martinez and Paige Risley). If you want to be featured, be sure to see Mrs. Bergman!
Joel Martinez -
Lakeside is an outstanding place to be learning. I say this because Lakeside is the place where dreams become reality. This happens from the little 6th graders all the way to the older 8th graders. We have dreams. We all have dreams! Some of use have dreams to become an engineer and some want to be the next Kobe Bryant. All of us have dreams of being someone on this planet Earth. My dream is to be a lawyer. All of my teachers have encouraged me while at Lakeside. I thank them for their support and I will one day turn my dream into reality!
Paige Risley -
In advanced Language Arts I am doing an essay on something that has influenced me. I chose to write about A Christmas Carol. The requirements for the essay are you have to create three spirits. These are your gohsts of Christmas past, present and future. I think this essay is interesting because it helps with creative writing and to help Mrs. Sooy get to know her students even more!
