Lakeside Lightning,

It's all About Respect at Lakeside Middle School

This is an exciting week at Lakeside Middle School. We will be hosting our second annual PBSIS Survivor Series on Monday. We had over 400 eligible students (each had to have 30 Zaps) register for the event. Students will be in teams and will compete in various activities. On Tuesday, our 6th and 7th grade students will be participating in their Field Day. Students will have fun as they play on bouncy houses, enjoy music and food. Wednesday evening is our annual Step Up for the 8th graders. This is such a well organized and special event for our 8th graders. Then, we close the academic year out by having our Awards Ceremonies for the 6th, 7th and 8th graders on Thursday. We will be dismissing at 1:05 PM on Thursday.

We will continue the Lightning Round Blog over the summer. We host many programs at the school and we always want to update everyone on our updates and progress.

Students will be welcomed back to school on September 6, 2018.

Mrs. Schwailik's class surpasses their 100 Book Challenge by 17 Books!!!

Each year Mrs. Schwailik proposes a challenge to her students by encouraging them to read 100 books. This year they exceeded the mark by 17 books. Not only did they read 117 books, they also passed all of the Accelerated Reader tests associated with those books. Her students read and more importantly comprehend what they are reading. This is such an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations to all of the students and to Mrs. Schwailik!

Student Council Trip to Great Adventure! 

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect At Lakeside Middle School 

You might have seen a different theme at the top of the post. We selected a new theme for 2018-19 school year. This theme is very special to us because as we examine all of the positive things and things that we need to improve the concept of respect keeps coming up. Next year we are going to talk a lot about respect!

This week our Board of Education celebrated the retirements throughout the district. Lakeside Middle School had two retirees attend the event. Mrs. Cirocco and Mrs. Corson were honored for their years of dedicated service to the students at Lakeside Middle School. Both Mrs. Cirocco and Mrs. Corson taught hundreds of students throughout their career. We are truly grateful for their contributions! At our final staff meeting of the year we will honor all of the retirees at Lakeside Middle School.

In addition, this week a few of our students had the opportunity to attend field trips. The Student Council went to Six Flags as a reward for their hard work and determination in making Lakeside Middle School better! The 8th grade AVID students visited the Magical Gardens in Philadelphia. The students are researching mosaics for an upcoming project at Lakeside.

Our week was capped off with an EPIC Lip Sync Battle. This year we had food trucks for the students and parents to enjoy. We raffled off over 15 baskets and with the entry fee totally 2,400 dollars raised for the PTO. This money will help off set activities for students and provides for the Staff Appreciation Luncheon. We are so grateful for all that attended and supported this epic event.

Good luck to all of the students this week as they take their FINALS. Here is the Finals Schedule:
Monday - LAL
Tuesday - Science/Social Studies
Wednesday - Science/Social Studies
Thursday - Math
Friday - Electives/Encore/PE
