Dr. Casey Cooper to speak at Lakeside Middle School on Monday, March 25th, 6-7 pm
Important Message from IPSF about the City of Irvine Proposed Budget Cuts to K-12.
The City of Irvine is currently undergoing a transition to a two-year budget, and as part of this process, City leadership has proposed cuts of up to $2 million to K-12 education support. Irvine has always been able to do more with less, thanks to incredible community support and creative approaches to making educational excellence a priority. Any cuts to City support of education would further widen the per-pupil funding gap in Irvine, and negatively impact the educational experience of more than 35,000 students in IUSD.
The Challenge Match Grant is one of the areas that are under consideration for cuts in the City budget. As you know, the City matches all donations to IPSF, up to $1.3 million annually, to help inspire the parent and corporate community to give generously in support of education. 100% of Challenge Match Grant funds are passed through directly to the district – IPSF does not take any overhead or fees from these funds. The benefit of the match is two-fold: IUSD receives the donation of $1.3 million, but it also allows IPSF to leverage the match into additional fundraising, which translates into more funds for the district. Each year, IPSF donates over $2 million in cash to IUSD to help fund critical areas including Teachers, Instructional Assistants, Music Specialists, Nurses, Athletic Trainers, Mental Health Counselors and more. Cuts to this program would not only affect the $1.3 million contributions from the City, but they would also negatively impact IPSF’s ability to fundraise for additional district support.
The other elements of the City’s funding for education through the Educational Partnership Fund are equally important to IUSD students, including additional support for School Resource Officers, Crossing Guards, School Nurses and Counselors, and more. City support funds PEOPLE – people who provide crucial services that impact each child in every IUSD school. Please help spread the word that we need to send a message to the City leadership that educational excellence matters in the City of Irvine.
You can help by attending the upcoming City of Irvine Budget Meetings this month to voice your concern about proposed cuts to key education and school safety programs or contact City Council Members directly.
· March 20 at Portola Springs Community Center from 6-7 p.m.
· cityofirvine.org/citycouncil
PTA and IPSF strongly encourage you to reach out to our city council members to reconsider the prosed $2 million cuts to our school. Some talking points you can make are:
Talking points:
• Demand that before making funding cuts to IUSD students and disregarding the will of Irvine voters and the City Council, the new City Leadership should survey Irvine residents and/or put another measure on the ballot.
• Inform the City Leadership that 70 percent of Irvine voters overwhelming passed Measures R and BB in back-to-back elections because they know quality schools increase property values, drive home sales, and support a safe and prosperous community.
• Remind the City Leadership that Irvine is often cited as one of the best places to live, with education as a top factor in the rankings, demonstrating the clear nexus between Irvine’s prosperity and IUSD schools.
• Tell the City Leadership that it is wrong to balance the budget on the backs of Irvine students and to force Irvine residents to choose between student safety and instruction.
• Many families have moved to Irvine and pay premium prices to live here so they can send their children to IUSD schools. Hardworking families with school-age children and Irvine residents will not accept any proposals that decrease instruction and safety while widening the IUSD funding gap.
• The City’s masterplan, specifically places schools at the heart of each neighborhood, because the current City Council and previous councils have prioritized education and know the value it brings to Irvine, which is unlike any other city. Tell the new City Leadership, in Irvine, we support student safety and instruction and that sacrificing one for the other is unacceptable.
Thank you, PTA and IPSF

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!

Red Ribbon Week Oct 23-27- Requesting Bottle Water Donations and Volunteers
Red Ribbon Week is fast approaching and once again Lakeside will hold its annual “Red Ribbon Week” Lake Run. This is a fun run for students and staff and it is an event in which everyone participates! This year we find that we are in desperate need of WATER! We only have 2 cases of water in storage and we have 760 students, along with staff, participating in the Run. We are asking that you please consider donating a case of water to keep our runners hydrated. The 16 oz. bottles are great for this event and you can drop off your water donations by the Lakeside sign on Lemongrass or by the Lakeside sign on Stone Creek.
We are also in need of volunteers for the event day. Come and support Lakeside. Click on the Signup Genius Link to find out more information on how to volunteer. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4da5ad2aa6f49-lakeside4

Clothing for a Cause
Thank you to all the Lakeside families and friends who donated bags and bags of clothing, shoes and textiles. In a short few days, we collected 5370 pounds of clothing! That is over 2.5 tons of clothes that will be reused or recycled. For all of your efforts, we will receive $537 that will go directly back to our kids this year. Our clothing drive was a success and we look forward to doing it again next fall.
Welcome Back to School Luncheon
This year started off with a spectacular welcome back lunch for all of the teachers and staff. Samantha Rogers and Maia Starling, our two wonderful Hospitality PTA volunteers, created an amazing display as the backdrop to a yummy luncheon from Square One Pizza. This year, the PTA reached out to Coffee Bean Tea and Leaf during their give back to teacher’s campaign and they generously donated enough coffee and tea for each staff member! Thank you Coffee Bean!! And finally, PTA gifted to each teacher and staff member their choice of Spirit Wear! This year you will see our teachers and staff on campus with Lakeside pride. All this to start the year off and recognize the dedication that our Lakeside teachers and staff have for our kids. Thank you!
Welcome Back Mariners
Welcome back to school Mariners! We hope you are all enjoying the last few days of our lovely California summer weather. If you have not yet purchased the new Spirit Wear during registration day, you can still order until Sept 25th. You can also find the spirit wear form, the PTA registration form and other information on our forms and flyers tab.
This year we will continue the tradition of having our clothing drive fundraiser with Clothes for the Cause. Instead of discarding clothing and household linens, give them a second life. Clothes, shoes, textiles, purses, belts and more will be RECYCLED and REPURPOSED. Clothes for the Cause closes the loop in the end life of clothes and materials at the same time they turn all of our discarded material to cash for our school.
Our Clothes for the Cause drive will be September 5-8th. You will be able to drop off your bags of clothes at the Lakeside Middle School sign on Lemongrass and we will take them to the trailer for you! It’s that easy!!
