Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS! 

We want to start out by thanking everyone for their support this year at Lakeside Middle School. As a school we accomplished a lot and we still have a lot of growth!

For those who are going onto High School we wish you the best of luck! As many said, the Class of 2023 is one that will be remembered!

Over the summer we will do some monthly recaps of our progress in preparing for the 2019-2020 School Year. We are excited for this upcoming year and we look forward to seeing all incoming students on September 4, 2019! In the meantime, enjoy your summer and be sure to rest, relax and rejuvenate!

June 17 - 21, 2019

Two special guests at the Lip Sync Battle 
Lakeside Lightning,

Its All About Respect at LMS!

We had a memorable week last week. It started off with an excellent turnout for our Parent School Improvement Session. We had 17 parents and guardians meet with our Principal, Dr. Cook to discuss things that are going well and things that need to be improved. The parents have agreed to continue meeting throughout next year and to help work on Action Plans to ensure our school is going in the right direction. Parent who attended were pleased that Dr. Cook was so transparent with the school and accepting of the feedback from the parents. Stay tuned for the next events.

On Tuesday, the 8th graders went to Wildwood for a fun and exciting time at Morey's Pier. All the students were on their best behavior and we received positive feedback from the workers at the pier.

On Thursday, we hosted the 3rd Annual Lip Sync Battle and Food Truck Festival. Everyone who attended enjoyed the show. Our host, Mrs. Pettit did an amazing job of introducing all of the acts. Most of the acts featured staff and administration who helped each other out to make sure the show was awesome. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and we raised close 3,000 dollars for the school.

On Friday, we hosted our first Retirement Dinner in a awhile. At the dinner, hosted by Mrs. Petitt, we honored Mrs. Lokey, Mrs. Schwailik, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Hoffman, Mr. Young, Mrs. Lair and Mrs. Jost. There were about 50 staff in attendance.
