Dear Lakeside Charter Academy Community,
What a gift last week’s beautiful weather was! The warmth and sunshine allowed for outdoor lunches, playground time, and nature walks, refreshing us all! Read on for all the latest news and opportunities at Lakeside!
EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT
Last Thursday, our Music teacher Mr. Hall and two of his musician colleagues led a special school-wide music assembly. Percussion instruments were the focus of the program. Students learned about the history of percussion instruments in various cultures, and the part they play in today’s music. Thank you, Mr. Hall, for modeling the joy we can all find in music!
FLOWER POWER
Let’s use the Power of Flowers to brighten up Lakeside’s campus! On Wednesday, March 18, bring in flowering plants we can plant around the grounds of LCA. We would also love donations of very large planters and garden decorations. Let’s have the outside of LCA’s building reflect the beauty of the students inside the building!
LAKESIDE COMMUNITY
Lakeside’s Parent/Teacher Organization is hosting a Spring Fling Dance! Held in the LCA gym from 5:00-7:30pm on Friday, March 27, this event is sure to be the buzz of the school! There will be a DJ, Dancing, Games, Food, and lots of fun! The Spring Fling Dance is open to all of Lakeside’s students, siblings, and family members. The cost is $5 per person, children and adults alike, paid in advance of the event. Please see the attached flyer and stay tuned for more details! Don’t miss out on the fun!
Lakeside Charter Academy, in partnership with parents, will cultivate engaged learners through scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. That’s our Mission Statement. We want and need LCA parents to partner with its faculty and staff to continue creating a nurturing educational environment where students thrive. Consider making our LCA community stronger by being a part of the Parent/Teacher Organization. Reach out to LaKissia Slowiaczek, lnwilson22@hotmail.com , for more information.
Volunteers Needed! LCA’s daily, weekly, and monthly projects need many helping hands! Delivering lunches, putting up bulletin boards, reading with students, making copies for teachers, and other duties are all opportunities for you to make a difference at Lakeside. Please contact the front office to let us know of your interest.
