Gobble gobble, Lions! We have officially collect 850 cans for our Thanksgiving Food Drive! That means we only need 150 more cans to reach our big school goal- we are so close we can almost taste the mashed potatoes! Tomorrow is the last day! And guess what? Our leader board is spicier than pumpkin pie! We have a tie between Team "6-7" and Team "Chicken Jockey"!!! Who will break the tie? Bring in those cans tomorrow and let's finish strong!

🍂 Going on a Leaf Hunt with our SLPs! 🍁

Huge shoutout to our Speech‑Language Pathologists, Hannah Wallingford and Tracy Kellersberger, for leading a delightful fall activity: “Going on a Leaf Hunt.” After reading the story and acting it out, students headed outside to collect their own leaves — then brought them back to class to examine, count, and discuss.

Their creative, hands‑on lessons make speech practice playful and meaningful — and the kids can’t get enough! Thanks, Hannah and Tracy, for making learning so fun this season. 🍃✨

Thank you #daviseducationfoundation for our cash for classrooms grant. We were able to bring Ollie the octopus to our PE program and add it to our parachute activities. I loved that it helped us with team work and team communication.

The 6th graders at Lakeside Elementary took a step back in time to bring The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to life! Our talented students created their own sound effects, lighting, and scene changes, showcasing incredible teamwork and creativity. Participating in theater helps boost reading skills by improving vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency—making stories come alive in new ways! The students worked hard to portray their characters and make the story unforgettable on stage. We’re so lucky to have the BTS arts program nurturing such passion and talent right here at Lakeside!
