Our artists have been busy creating artwork for our annual Art to Remember fundraiser. This program gives you the opportunity to order keepsakes printed with your child's original artwork while supporting our art curriculum. Look for a flyer to come home with your student the week of October 26.

The office ladies would like to send two friendly reminders to parents/guardians:
1. If you drop students off in the morning after the bell has rung (after 8:20 a.m.), please make sure to come into the building with your child and sign them in.
2. If your student is going to be absent for a trip/doctor appt or something that is planned in advance, please communicate that either in skyward or directly to the office in addition to letting their teacher know.

One of Lakeside’s long running traditions is having families in our school community provide snacks and drinks for the staff and teachers each Wednesday to show our appreciation for how hard they work. If your family would like to provide snacks one Wednesday this year, please see the available slots. Thank you for your support.

East Grand Rapids Public Schools and the City of East Grand Rapids collaborated to produce this Pedestrian and Bike Safety video for East families! This is a great resource for families to start the conversation about safe commutes to school and around the community.
Thank you to the students who participated, and a special thanks to Ms. Slanger (Lakeside Elementary Principal) and Mr. Jager (Middle School Assistant Principal) for their collaboration with Public Safety to create this latest safety video.

Walk & Roll to School Day was a great success! It was such fun seeing so many of our K-8 students taking advantage of this beautiful fall day. Thank you to all of the families and students who participated.
A special thank you to our elementary safety students and student volunteers who did a great job helping our young commuters cross the streets and reminding everyone, "Thank you for walking your bikes!"
Take a peek at some fun photos captured at Lakeside Elementary today!
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.
