For more than 40 years, the East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation has been providing opportunity. Thanks to our donors, we fund vital school programs and classroom enhancements at every school and every grade level.
We offer our students opportunity not only in reading, writing, science, and math, but also in the fine arts and performing arts, world languages, robotics, athletics, Innovation Lab, Gone Boarding, mental health resources, and so much more. We support our students in nearly everything they do.
None of that would be possible without donors like you.
Today, you have a new opportunity. It's your opportunity to help the next generation of Pioneers reach their full potential. And it's your opportunity to support public education in our community.
Let's give our students that opportunity, together.
Please give to the East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation today.

Please join us in our one and only book fair. Scholastic will be at Lakeside December 2-6, 2024. All monies raised at the Book Fair are donated back to the Lakeside Elementary Learning Commons. Students will go with their classes to the book fair next week (November 25 and 26) to preview the fair. A letter from Mrs. Slanger has more information. PTO is looking for some additional volunteers to make the book fair a success.
Lakeside's lost and found is overflowing with items. Please stop in to check if your child is missing something.
