Lakeside Lightning Round - December 14 - 18, 2020



Mrs. Votta and Dr. Cook 
 Lakeside Lightning, 

The School of Tomorrow, Today! 

This week we announced the Teacher of the Year and the Education Service Professional of the Year. Our Teacher of the Year is Ms. Votta. Ms. Votta is a 6th grade Science teacher and an AVID teacher. Last year, Ms. Votta coordinated the AVID program while Mrs. Lokuta was out on Maternity Leave. 

During the time, Ms. Votta increased Lakeside's community outreach as well as several parent nights focused on healthy initiatives

Dr. Cook, Principal, said of our Teacher of the Year, "Ms. Votta is a very positive member of the staff. She is a student-centered teacher and she collaborates with her colleagues. She is a model teacher for our new staff!" 

Mrs. Ronchetti and Dr. Cook 

Mrs. Ronchetti was named the Educational Services Professional of the Year. Mrs. Ronchetti works with Mrs. Lopergolo in 7th grade special education math. She has a gift of providing instruction and making
accommodations for students. During the pandemic, Mrs. Ronchetti volunteered to assist with several distributions at Lakeside. 

Mrs. Ronchetti donated to our Food Drive in the Spring. When asked about Mrs. Ronchetti's impact at Lakeside, Dr. Cook said. "Mrs. Ronchetti is such a humble person. She never seeks the recognition so I am glad she was awarded this year. 

In addition to being an amazing educator, Mrs. Ronchetti, consistently checks in with our front office staff to see if there is anything she can do to help out. We are so grateful for her!" 







Lakeside Honor Roll Students for Marking Period One
We are so honored to announce those students who went above and beyond despite all of the challengers of the first Marking Period. We normally have an assembly for them, but due to being out on Remote, we will list all their names below. When we return we hope to honor them in person!
