Program Highlights
Elementary Musical
Elementary Musical
The elementary musical is a very special opportunity in which every student can be involved! Students in grades K-1 are able to learn a song and dance and perform live on stage at the start of the show. Second graders have the added opportunity to make a cameo appearance. Students in grades 3-5 may showcase their singing and acting skills on stage or work behind the scenes helping with costumes, artwork, setting the stage, lights and sound, directing peers, and more! This is a wonderful opportunity for the entire Lakeside Elementary school community to work and grow together!
Student Leaders
Student Leaders
At Lakeside Elementary, we value student leadership and voices. Our elementary team consistently provides opportunities for students to serve as role models for one another, creating a culture where students can grow and thrive.
Mystic Lake Camp
Fifth Grade Camp
Lakeside fifth-grade students start the year with a two-night stay at Mystic Lake in Clare, MI. In addition to experiencing hands-on science lessons, students also bond together through team-building challenges, nature hikes and canoeing, and all the challenges that make up a classic camp adventure. The interpersonal threads that tie together on this trip bind Lakeside fifth graders for the rest of their final year of elementary school, and beyond.
ROAR
ROAR
ROAR is a fun-filled night out for parents that directly supports our students as the largest fundraiser for the Lakeside PTO. Parents come together for appetizers, drinks, games, auctions, raffles and live entertainment! This is a great community-builder for the families of Lakeside students. The money raised goes to support classroom grants and school-wide activities.
