Family Fest
On Saturday, February 18, 2012 the Lakeside gymnasium and cafeteria became a BEACH BASH! at our annual Family Fest, especially geared for PK through 4th grade students, and put on this year by the Lakeside chapter of the National Honor Society. Watch for details to come on our 2013 Family Fest, scheduled for March 2, 2013.
There will be loads of games, crafts, activities, demonstrations, food and prizes to fill a morning and then some. It's open house style, so you're welcome to arrive anytime between 9 AM and noon.
We ask for $5 a child, but no family pays more than $10. Let us know you're joining us on this registration form or by e-mailing nhs@llhs.org
Walk-ins the morning of are always welcome.
Looking to shadow a Warrior?
8th graders and other interested upper graders are invited to let us know you'd like to shadow. You may spend a day with a Warrior you already know, such as an older sibling or friend, or you can request that you be paired with a Warrior who shares some of your interests so you can experience a day in the life of a Lakeside student.
You must apply to visit before the day you wish you visit. Your Lutheran grade school has the required Visitor Form to fill out, or download it here.
Future Freshman Scheduling
Wednesday, January 23, 2013 (6:30 p.m.) or Saturday, January 26 (8:30 a.m.)
