Lakeside Lightning,
It's All About Respect at LMS!
This week our AVID students, in partnership with the Millville Neighborhood Alliance and Cumberland County College, learned a few new recipes from the Wellness In Schools Program. Wellness in Schools is a national non-profit that teaches kids healthy habits to learn and live better. They partner with public schools to provide nutrition and fitness education, healthy scratch-cooked meals and active recess periods. Their approach improves student outcomes and drives systemic, long-term change, shifting school cultures.
Did you know that over one-third of children under the age of 18 in the United States are overweight or obese? Children spend about 12,000 hours in school between kindergarten and high school graduation, making schools the ideal environment to shape their wellness behavior. Our students learned about these issues and learned how to make several, easy to prepare healthy meals taught by chefs Rebecca and Anwar who are real Chefs!!!
6th Grade Social Studies Team supports Veterans and our Neighbors at Genesis

| LMS Students fostering a partnership with Genesis |
Lakeside's 6th Grade Social Studies Department took
a group of volunteers to the Genesis center to assist them with their King and Queen pageant. Our students were so awesome! They interacted with the residents, escorted the pageant participants to the stage, and even danced with them. We are proud of their enthusiasm and the kindness they displayed during this volunteer activity.
In addition to this event, our 6th graders made Valentine cards for the veterans at the Veteran Hospitals. This was a continuation of our connection with Miss Dottie, who has spent years organizing card drives for our military. Our students also made Valentine door wreaths for the veterans at the Vineland Veterans Home. They were delivered last week. The residents loved them so much that we will be making more for the spring season. These connections have enabled our students to get a taste for volunteerism and they've come to realize that small acts of kindness can really make someone's day brighter.
Mrs. Roche & Mrs. Todd celebrated students who earned a B or higher for the second marking period with a Chic-Fil-A lunch!!! Keep up the good work!!!
