This is a reminder that we have no school on Monday, September 4. The third, fourth and fifth grade Kids Run the Nation BREATHE afterschool club applications are due Tuesday, September 5th. Please help us fundraise for our playground by selling the Save Around Books. Grandparents' Day is Friday, September 8th at 8:30.
We are raising money for playground improvements with our first fundraiser. Save Around coupon books and order forms were sent home today. They are $25 each and there are books for multiple cities that can be purchased. We hope you will participate to help improve our playground. If you do not wish to participate, please return the book and order form tomorrow.
We are forming an afterschool club at Lakeside Elementary called Kids Run the Nation: BREATHE. We hope to start it on Thursday, Sept. 7. On Monday and Thursday kids will stay after school from 3-4:30 and work on life skills with an emphasis on mental and physical health. Activities will include working on running stamina in addition to learning about community service and other civic mindedness. This club will last into November and at the end, the kids will participate in a 5 K run. This is only for third, fourth and fifth graders. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity as we are the only school in Putnam County doing this club in the fall. A flyer was sent home today. If you need the fee waived, please contact the school. (Please pardon the typo of our school name on the information sent home by the sponsor of the club.)
Open House will be August 22, from 4-6 p.m. Students can meet their teachers and visit their classrooms. We look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday.

Open House will be on August 22, 2023, from 4-6 pm. School begins at 7:45 on August 24, 2023. Drop off out front will begin at 7:20 a.m.
