NJHS Officers with Dr. Cook 

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day. We hope that the luck of the Irish is with everyone as we close in on Spring! We had another awesome week at Lakeside. On Tuesday we inducted our new group of National Honor Society Members in a ceremony coordinated by Mrs. Gaudio! The National Junior Honor Society members demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. We are so grateful for everything they do for our school and community!

Thursday our Math teachers celebrated Pi Day. Each March 14 (3.14) our math teachers integrate activities to show the students the complexities and fun that comes along with the concept of Pi. Thank you to Mr. Fien for sharing activities for the entire staff to implement in the classroom.

On Friday March 15, thirty-four 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls had the opportunity to participate in a day exploring careers in STEM at Cumberland County College’s Tween Tech event. They learned about such topics as chemical reactions, coding robots, and crime scene investigation. It was a great experience and the ladies represented Lakeside well.

This Wednesday we will hosting educators from throughout the area for an AVID Showcase. Visiting educators will tour our classrooms, meet with teachers and students in order to bring ideas back to their schools. Hosting a Showcase is a big deal and the folks at AVID have the confidence in Lakeside to be the model to which other school's aspire.
