Lake Street School

Last week, Friendsgiving 2025 at Lake Street School was such a special morning! Our K–2 students gathered together to share what they were thankful for, enjoyed time with friends, ate a shared "meal" and celebrated kindness within our school community. A huge THANK YOU to all of our amazing parent volunteers and families who donated items and helped set up, serve, and support this event. Your time and generosity made it truly wonderful. We are so grateful for you!

On Monday night, fifth graders Auden Tierney and Lucy Verdejo Velasco were joined by their families and teachers Taylor Martone and Stephanie Schipper as they were awarded the Superintendent’s Awards by CAPSS. Auden and Lucy exemplify the traits of this reward through their leadership, service to others, community involvement, and academic prowess. Along with their awards, student nominations were shared highlighting many of their contributions to their communities. Below are excerpts from each nomination. “Auden’s empathy, self-awareness, and thoughtful perspective inspire those around him, reflecting the very best of Lake Street School’s values.” “Lucy’s enthusiasm, helpful spirit, and deep empathy for others make her a positive role model and a true leader within our school community.” We are so proud of both of these young leaders!

Today, our school came together to honor the brave Veterans who have served our country. 🇺🇸 We held a special Veterans Day assembly to recognize and celebrate our veteran family members and friends. Following the assembly, veterans, students, and their families enjoyed a breakfast together in appreciation of their service and sacrifice. Thank you to all who joined us today and to every veteran in our community — we are deeply grateful for your courage, dedication, and love for our country. ❤️💙

This year Lake Street School will again be participating in the annual Bryan Flint Memorial Socktober Collection. This project collects NEW socks and undergarments of any size to be distributed at local shelters, clothing banks, and outreach programs. Each night in the US almost 600,000 people live on the streets. These items are needed by many and often not donated. Therefore, we at LSS are looking for families to donate NEW socks and undergarments of any size! We will be collecting these items ALL of October. A large donation box will be in the hallway by the main office.
