Lightning Round: July 2021

Lakeside Lightning,

Grow through what you go through

We have been very busy this summer. Our Climate and Culture Committee has gone through every aspect about our school and are planning some amazing things for the 2021-22 School Year. They will be presenting their plan on July 21 and we will be sharing the presentation for the Lakeside Community.

Our Summer School is going into the 3rd week. Mrs. Oquendo, the coordinator, has been doing an excellent job of leading the program. Students are being challenged academically each day. In addition, they are learning about ways they can change the course of their education as a result of working with the teachers. Check out the pictures below from some of the activities they have been doing.

All We Do Is Win

We had a few Lakeside students in this group: Luciana Lewis, Vivienne Zerra, Ashlee Zimmerman, Leah Cohen, Emily Vazquez, Xiomara Alston. The 10-12 Beginner division also won National Grand Champions. (Leah Cohen, Emily Vazquez and Xiomara Alston are in that group).

Vivienne Zerra performed her solo, received a judges award and platinum score in the Intermediate division. Leah Cohen performed her solo and won a National Champion for the beginner division.
