It is a fitting ending to a very successful year. Thank you to all of our PTA members for supporting us this year. Thank you to all the members of the board and committees for working so hard all year long. Thank you to Principal Sodorff, the Lakeside staff, and teachers for an amazing year.
The 2018-2019 Year in Review: PBIS at Lakeside
Ever wonder what is PBIS? PBIS, Positive Behavioral Interventions, and Support, and is the method our school uses to encourage good behavior. Part of this program uses small awards or gift cards for kids to earn through positive behavior. PTA joins this effort with Lakeside Middle School and has created an ongoing grant. Thank you to our counselors and the PBIS teacher team for your dedication.
The 2018-2019 The Year in Review: Robotics at Lakeside
Did you know that Lakeside has digital printers and robotics machines? Our science department is making a big push to include these new technologies. Lakeside PTA completely supports these efforts and this year was awarded a $3000 Science Grant to help purchase the supplies needed. We look forward to all the new engineers and computer scientist.
The 2018-2019 Year in Review: Peter Fatzaun
Meet Peter Fatzaun, he is Lakeside’s Library Media Specialist and chief conductor of all things cool in traditional paper and digital media. He encourages our kids to read and in fact, our Lakeside kids check out more books than any other middle school in the district. Mr. Fatzaun presented this bit of information and many others during one of our PTA meetings. PTA was so impressed by his enthusiasm and dedication to reading and kids, that we awarded a $1400 Library Grant for Lakeside and Mr. Fatzaun to continue his work. Here is just a small portion of the books the kids enjoyed this year and will continue to enjoy for many years to come.
