Lightning Round: Lakeside Lightning Round 10/18

Lakeside Lightning,

Grow through what you go through

Slowly but surely we are getting back to the normalcy of school. As we have stated earlier, not only have Lakeside students struggled with transitioning back to school, but all other schools are too. Each week we continually see improvements and we know that this transition has been difficult because the last two years have been challenging.

This week, we are hosting our first Parent/Guardian School Improvement Plan meeting on Monday, October 18, 2021 at 6:00 PM in person at the Lakeside DMC (please enter front entrance). The purpose of this meeting is to review our school goals and discuss areas of concerns in the school.

We are looking forward to hosting another Free Produce Distribution on Friday, October 22, 2021 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM.

Pause, Notice and Choose

The Whole Health Institute has provided LMS with Pause, Notice, Choose reminder cards for staff and students. These small cards fit easily in a pocket or wallet and are a great reminder to take time to Pause: Take a deep breath, Notice: What do you think, feel, and sense right now?, and Choose: What will you do next.

In a time when we are all very overwhelmed, these are three simple words that describe a process that can truly change the way we approach moments in our daily lives. Please consider practicing Pause, Notice, Choose. Using this common language in our school could also be beneficial for consistency and common expectations across classrooms and content areas.
