Lakeside Lightning,

Turning Dreams Into Reality! 

The Buddy Gale Big Band performed for LMS 

We had another amazing week at Lakeside Middle School. 6th grade students began taking the PARCC on Thursday. Thank you so much to Mrs. Hallenbeck and Mr. Hudson for coordinating the PARCC.

We also hosted about 20 students for Bring Your Child to Work on Thursday. Kids got a chance to see our morning announcements, take part in science experiments, eat lunch with the Principal and do some team building exercises.
