Staff Friendsgiving 

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS! 

This week our staff was treated to a double lunch (funded by the Classh Room win). We called the event Friendsgiving. Staff enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving food such as turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing plus all types of desserts.

While the staff was at Friendsgiving, the students had grade level assemblies in the Auditorium. These assemblies were led by the Vice Principals and focused on our Non Negotiables, expectations on the walk home, and areas to improve academics.

Non Negotiables 
1, Cell Phones - Must be off and in lockers while in LMS
2. Profanity - Both indirect and direct profanity will not be tolerated
3. Disrespect - Students will demonstrate respect towards others, staff, and school environment at all times
4. Back and Forth - Students will accept the response of the staff member without negotiation
5, School Dress Code - Students will be dressed appropriately at all times
6, Hallways - Students will walk to the right, keep their hands and feet to themselves, keep voices down, and walk at all times

Script for beginning the class
“In this class, I expect that you will follow our non-negotiables. We do not use cell phones, we respect each other, we are dressed appropriately, and we do not use profanity.”

Script for end of the class 
“Before we enter the hallways/stairwells, remember we walk to the right, we keep our hands and feet to ourselves and we keep our voices down.”

Important Information on Miss Chocolate Pick Up
On Tuesday, November 19th, the Miss Chocolate fall fundraiser items will be available for pick up from 4 p.m. to 6:00 pm in the Lakeside Cafeteria.

Take Care of Your Selfie Bulletin Board 

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS! 

We had an amazing Veterans Day Assembly this week. A big thank you to Mrs. Kern, Mrs. Gehringer, Mrs. Bassetti, and Mrs. Varner for organizing and for Mr. Godfrey for being in charge of the auditorium. During the assembly, we were able to hear from Veterans and see a presentation about the impact of our Armed Forces.

This week the teachers will be rewarded for winning the Clash-Room. They will be treated to a "friends-giving" during their Lunch and Advisory. Instead of Advisory, students will have grade level assemblies to review expectations and other important information.

Lakeside AVID Students Made Gratitude Pumpkins for Staff
Students in the AVID program made Gratitude Pumpkins for Staff to let them know how much they are appreciated. They found inspirational quotes and added in some personal messaged for their favorites. Students delivered the pumpkins prior to the 4 day weekend.
