We have made it 70% of the way to our school goal! This weekend will be the last couple of days to raise money for the Kids Heart Challenge!
The class with the highest amount raised will receive some playground equipment. The student in each class who raises the most money will get to be PE teacher for the day next week!
Feb. 12-16 will be our bookfair week. If your child's class does library on Tuesday, they will go to the bookfair on Tuesday and Wednesday. If your child's class does library on Thursday, they will go to the bookfair on Monday and Thursday. If kids didn't bring money on those days, they can go early Friday before 10:00. The bookfair will be open during the dance on the 15th and for a few minutes after the Valentine parties on the 14th.

Our fourth and fifth grade Christmas program is Thursday night at 7:00 at the Hurricane First Baptist Church on Main Street. Students need to arrive at 6:15. They should wear jeans and a plaid shirt or "country" attire to go with the theme (in case you missed that note home).
Tuesday, Dec. 12 is the fifth grade Pizza Hut day. If you eat at Pizza Hut, tell them it is for Lakeside and they will donate 15% of sales to the fifth grade for their end of year trip.
This is the last day to sell Pampered Chef for the fifth grade fundraiser for their end of year trip.
The fifth grade is taking orders for Pampered Chef as part of their fundraiser for their end of year trip. They need to raise about $5000. If you are inclined to help, Pampered Chef will donate a percentage of the sales to the trip.
