🦉✨ Accio Science! Mrs. Davidson's 3rd graders had a magical day exploring the wizarding world through hands-on learning!

Shadow Puppets in Action!
We had a fantastic day at Lakeside Elementary! Weber State University's Arts Learning Collaborative teamed up with Mrs. Szymanski’s 6th-grade drama class for a lesson on the art of shadow puppetry. It was inspiring to see these young artists bring stories to life through light and shadow.
Huge thanks to the Beverley Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program (BTS Arts) for making these creative collaborations possible!

Our Lakeside Decathlon Team competed yesterday. They did so awesome! They have worked hard the weeks leading up to it and it paid off yesterday. They competed in running, throwing, jump roping, push ups and lots more. It was so great to see them cheer each other on and have great team work. 4th grade team took 6th place. We're so proud of all of our decathlon athletes!
🎭 Proud Moment for Lakeside Elementary! 🇺🇸
