Sponsors Needed

We’re looking for a few good businesses to sponsor our Viking 5K! Sponsorships start at just $250 and allow the Foundation to cover race expenses, so that 100% of race proceeds can go back into supporting LHS students and staff. Sponsors’ logos are printed on race t-shirts and banners, aa well as included on the Foundation website and social media communications. We value the support of our community partners and would love to promote your business among our thousands of current families, alumni, feeder schools, staff, and neighbors!

PAST EVENTS

Service Recognition

The tradition of honoring teachers and staff for their years of service at Lakeside continues! Board member Sharmi Lawrence-Rivera recognized teachers and staff, who have achieved milestones of 5, 10, 20, and 30 years at LHS. Science Department Chair, Monica Baker-Eady, and Head Custodian, Rick Turner, were among those honored with a beautiful service pin. The Foundation is grateful for the dedicated teachers and staff who serve our community and for the donors who fund our efforts.


Fall Grants Awarded

Nearly $8,000 in grants for academics, athletics, and facility improvements were approved at the Fall Foundation Meeting. Recipients include the Cross Country team (XC race course improvements), Football team (weight room paint and equipment, as well as a portable scoreboard for use by soccer, football, and ultimate frisbee teams), and the Science Department (curriculum/technology). The Foundation has already received additional grant requests from the Music Department and Technology Support. Your tax-deductible donations and support of our Viking 5K will help us fulfill these grant requests.


TBC Spirit Night Success

Many thanks to the families and staff who participated in Spirit Night at Tucker Brewing Company. Your dinner and drinks helped to raise $770 for the Foundation’s general fund! Special thanks to Mike Torres and his band for providing live music in the Beer Garden. We hope even more folks will join in the fun-raising next time! 



Dignity Matters

Teenage years are difficult enough, without the added stress of hunger and financial need. That’s why the Lakeside Foundation allocates $1,200 in funds and works with LHS to keep the Care Closet stocked with school supplies, feminine hygiene products, non-perishable food, toiletries, and clothing for students in need. The Foundation also will provide $4,375 in grocery store gift cards for the school social worker, Mr. Don Wessels, to distribute prior to Fall, Thanksgiving, and Winter breaks. These are presented to students who would normally receive a free breakfast and lunch at school. Typically these hard-working students are facing and overcoming challenges with their grit and determination. We are still looking for a family or local business to sponsor our Spring Break gift cards with a tax-deductible donation.


New Teacher Welcome Gifts

Lakeside hired 32 new teachers this year to serve our nearly 2,300 students. To welcome these educators, the Lakeside Foundation presented each with a $50 gift card for school supplies. We are proud to be able to support our newest members of the LHS community!
