Thanks!
A big thanks to John Kennedy, Susanne Hilty, Adriana Leiva and Ben Polacco for a great Family Night on Wed., Feb. 16. There was a lot of energy in the room, and the true spirit of family games and activities came through!

Grant Awarded!
Congratulations to Grace Grafton (Poet-in-residence) and Liesel Harris-Boundy for receiving a $3,000 grant awarded from the Blackie Foundation, which gives educational and environmental grants. As part of California Poets in Schools (a non-profit organization), Grace Grafton’s longtime work at Lakeshore (20+ years) was particularly impressive. The grant will help cover publishing our annual anthology of students’ poetry and will be given to all Lakeshore students, free of charge. Thanks also for the outstanding poetry night that they hosted, that featured so many Lakeshore student poets!
