Lightning Round: Lakeside Lightning Round May 23

Lakeside's Character Team earns Honorable Mention

Lakeside Lightning,

Grow through what you go through

We have finished all of the NJSLA and the make-ups. Thank you to all of the students and teachers working together to make this happen. We want to thank our School Counselors and our Testing Coordinator, Mrs. Sooy! Great job team.

This week the bells are back on and we are looking forward to getting back to our normal routines. It is very important that we maintain our structure for the remainder of the school year. We will not be lowering our expectations.

Our 7th graders had an amazing experience at Tall Pines this week. This was our first class trip in over 2 years. Students had to earn their way on the trip through our point system. Thank you to Ms. Wheaton and the 7th grade team for leading the charge to reward those students who earned it.

Staff Sergeant Taylor Lax Visits Lakeside Middle School

Our students in Ms. McCafferty's class were welcomed with a surprise visit by Staff Sergeant Taylor Lax this week. After she discussed her journey in the military, the students asked lots of really good questions.

When she was stationed abroad, the students wrote letters to her and her team so she wanted to thank the in person! Thank you for your service Staff Sergeant Lax!
