Lakeside Lightning Round - December 21 - 25, 2020

Mrs. Sooy visited all 6th graders on the Honor Roll

Lakeside Lightning, 

The School of Tomorrow, Today! 

We have three days this week before Holiday Break. As we all know, 2020 has presented us with unprecedented challenges and opportunities. We appreciate all of the support and feedback as we have navigated this experience. 

This week we are distributing 600 Gratitude Letters to those students who the staff have identified as being grateful for their contribution. At Lakeside Middle School, we believe that gratitude is something that can change the way we perceive the world. It causes us to look and identify the positive things in our life. 

As we approach the Holiday Break, our staff have been encouraged (actually they have been directed) to turn off their devices at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, December 23, 2020 and to not turn them back on until Sunday, January 3, 2021. We want the staff to use the break to be mindful about disconnecting, recharging and rejuvenating. We are also asking students to do the same thing. Please take this Holiday Break as it is intended... a break!  

Lakeside Mindfulness Walk

We are always preparing for the eventual return of staff and students. This week, Dr. Cook, Principal of Lakeside Middle School, created a video showing the Mindfulness Walk. We are very grateful of Dr. Kate Felice who has collaborated with us with the project. We are excited to see it grow and develop! 

New Staff Spotlight - Ms. Parker, 8th Grade LAL

Ms. Parker joined Lakeside Lighting in mid-November as an 8th grade ELA teacher. She graduated from Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ, and began her teaching career helping adults get their high school diplomas. She has worked at Vineland HS North and most recently at a very small school in Port Republic.

Ms. Parker is most definitely a “crazy cat lady” and loves spending time with her three, or sometimes four, furbabies. She also loves to garden, bake, and curl up with a good book and a cup of hot tea.

She is looking forward to becoming a part of the Lakeside community and getting to know the staff and all of her students.

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. All students were sent their certificate in the mail. If you have any discrepancies please contact the main office 856-293-2450 and ask for Mrs. Karisko. 

Congratulations to the Honor Roll Students
