COVID-19 Response Team @ Lakeside Elementary 


Dear Lakeside Families, 

I hope your family had a nice Thanksgiving break. I want to share a final total with you from our Walk A Thon fundraiser in early November. The final total collected from this event was $7,142.15! Wow! This is by far our best fundraiser to date! Even better, all the proceeds go directly to our school (50% for our new playground and 50% to fund student needs- bussing for field trips, books, classroom needs)! We will continue fundraising efforts in order to purchase new playground equipment and keep you updated on our progress! If you know of a local business that would like to support this effort, please send me an email!

We are off to a great start in December; there is so much great learning happening across the building in literacy, math, social/emotional learning, and of course across all specialist classes too! We look forward to seeing you at the holiday concert on Monday, December 6! The concert begins at 6pm, please have your child(ren) arrive between 5:45-5:55pm. First through fifth grade students will be seated in the back of the auditorium, kindergarten will line up in the hallway outside the auditorium. Please make sure you have a mask with you, as masks are required in all OASD buildings. 

We have had a long tradition of celebrating the Season of Giving at Lakeside by donating food for the Kiwanis food drive, supporting some of our Lakeside families with holiday gifts/needs, and also celebrating giving to others by allowing our students to shop at a "holiday store" that has been set up by our PTO. This year, our PTO is supporting the season of giving by purchasing a craft that students will make at school and bring home to give during the holidays. 

Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ashton, Principal

Lost & Found

Please have your child check the lost and found table for missing items. If there are any items left at the end of next week (12/10/2021), they will be donated to a local charity.


 

Trex Recycling Challenge

Lakeside Student Council is taking on the Trex plastic film recycling program. As a Lakeside community, we are looking forward to seeing how much we can recycle between now and April 22, 2022. We are competing among schools in our region for a chance to win a bench made from recycled plastic. Student Council members will be weighing the plastic once the bins are filled and then we will be taking it to one of the locations that are accepting these for recycling. There are 3 recycling bins that will be placed within the school where your child will be able to drop plastic into. If you work at a location that throws plastic out and they are fine with you taking it off their hands, feel free to save it and bring it to school. If you have large bags full, please let Mrs. Wilcox know (kristalee.wilcox@oshkosh.k12.wi.us) and she will arrange a time to get it from you. 

On behalf of the Student Council, we would like to thank you for your participation and we look forward to seeing how much plastic we can collect!
