  A review of the discussions/decisions below

Spelling Bee: Lakeside will be proudly represented by Nicole Hansen tomorrow at the Santa Clara County Spelling Bee.  Good Luck Nicole!

Winter Program:  Please have your children at school by 5:45 pm on Wednesday evening, unless instructed otherwise by their teacher.  The students are excited to perform for you.

Foundation/PTA Meet and Greet-Please join the PTA/Foundation team at The Toll House this coming Friday February 10th at 5:30 p.m.  A relaxing time to join Lakeside friends for some laughter and cheer.

Board Meeting and Public Input Session for the Superintendent/Principal Search:  Please come join the board for an open discussion regarding the search for the next Superintendent/Principal.  Your input is key in assisting the Board with information to secure the next leader for the Lakeside School District.

Foundation NEEDS Project Leaders:  Class-created auction items are favored items at the annual auction.  Each class needs a leader(or co-leader team) to spearhead the project.  The auction is fast approaching.  Please contact Whitney Barnes at [email protected] or Michelle Toussaint (VP) to volunteer.

Weather-Related Tardies:  If you are tardy due to extreme weather conditions or road issues, those tardies are excused tardies.  It is always helpful to try to leave a little earlier to give yourself extra time.  Our roads are going to be messy for awhile.

The National Geographic Solar System Map:  The teachers and students are utilizing the Solar System Map that was delivered last week.  See the pictures below!  Stop by and take a look at the map in the Community Center.  Take off your shoes and explore.
