Water Pump Outage

May 23, 2012

Dear Lakeside Families,

At 3:00 pm this afternoon, we discovered that our water pump was not functioning properly. The school district’s plumber and Director of Facilities were contacted immediately. Shortly after school ended, we found out that the motor for the water pump broke. Currently, we are working with Sammons plumbing to get a new water pump to school this evening.

Fortunately we will have drinking water available tomorrow and our restroom facilities will be working just fine.  Therefore, we will be in session tomorrow at Lakeside so please plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, please send me an email or give the school a call in the morning.

Sincerely,

Amy Ashton

Principal

Lakeside Elementary

Lakeside/Green Meadow Leads the Pledge

Last night, Lakeside/Green Meadow students led the Pledge of Allegiance at the City Council meeting. Here is a picture of our Pledge leaders- Reese Meszaros, Kyle Weister, and Alexandra Voulgaris. Way to go!

Summer Slide Warning!

Research shows that students can fall behind in their reading level if they do not read over the summer! Please check out our school newsletter for more information on the "summer slide". We will be providing video clips on our blog to demonstrate ways to help your child when reading this summer. Continue promoting reading (and writing!) all summer by making frequent visits to the Public Library, reading aloud as a family, and reading a variety of texts- cookbooks, magazines, travel maps, etc. Enjoy the video post of our reading teacher, Ms. Kobinsky, showing one strategy to work with your child on this summer.

Mr. Dan Day @ Lakeside!

Today we celebrated "Mr. Dan Day" at Lakeside Elementary! Mr. Dan is our custodian at Lakeside. Our student council members made an announcement about all of Mr. Dan's hard work this morning, and decorated Mr. Dan's office. Posters were also hung throughout the school and many, many thank you cards were given to Mr. Dan today! We are so lucky to have such a great custodian at our school! Check out the crown and belt that the third grade students made for Mr. Dan to wear today!

Teacher Appreciation...we heart our staff!

This week, we take time to recognize the incredible efforts of all our teaching staff at Lakeside Elementary. Thank you, teachers, for your dedication to providing a safe and caring learning environment! We hope Teacher Appreciation Week has been special for you!
