Lakeside Middle School
Hello Lakeside Family,
Turn your old clothes into money for Lakeside! Now through this Friday until 12 noon, we are collecting your old textiles for Clothes for the Cause. Every pound collected means money for our school. Clothes, shoes, textiles and more will be RESOLD, RECYCLED and REPURPOSED. The usable clothing will provide affordable clothing to those in need. Recycled fiber products save money and resources by using existing materials. Clothes for the Cause closes the loop for old items and keeps it out of our landfills AND at the same time raises money for our cause, Lakeside, and our kids!
The money raised from our clothing drive goes straight back to our kids this YEAR! Last year’s donations help pay for the new chilled and filtered water bottle fountains! This year our goal is to give the kids more shaded areas at the lunch tables.
So help us help our kids get more shade! Drop off your bags of clothes at the Lakeside Middle School sign on Lemongrass in the morning. You can also bring your bags of clothing during Back to School Night on August 30!
Thank you for your support!
Principal Sodorff Donates too!
Thank you Principal Sodorff for the many bags of clothes for Lakeside. Let’s challenge each family to donate this much too!

Thank you Lakeside Parents and Friends,
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Lakeside PTA is wholeheartedly thankful to all of our parents for their continued support. On November 21st, we had our Turkey Trot, the rescheduled run day for our Red Ribbon Run, and once again our parent’s signed up to volunteer to do the chute, charts, distribute water, and monitor the path on their bikes! It was a fun experience to watch them race to the finish line, and it could not have been accomplished without our volunteers. Thank you, parents!
And also many, many thanks for the water donations, coming to our restaurant nights and supporting all of the kids as they participate in Reflections and Red Ribbon Week. Your continued presence at our events is truly amazing and appreciated.
Wishing you a fun, and food-filled weekend with friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving!
