Message from the Principal
It is hard to believe that the school year is over! This year has been filled with many memorable moments spent with children, parents/caregivers and families, teachers and staff that I will forever cherish. We have had many laughs together and with the good times there were also the challenges. Whatever we were dealing with, I feel that we always came together and made decisions putting our children first.
Sadly, many of our families will no longer be at Lakeshore next year with their children moving on to middle school or relocating. I will miss all of you and hope that you stop by now and again!
I hope everyone has a safe and rejuvenating summer! To those of you who are moving on, I wish you and your families a wonderful journey wherever it may take you. To those returning to Lakeshore next year, I look forward to working with you in the 2010-2011 school year. – Ms. Keener
SUMMER BREAK : LEARNING AND STAYING ACTIVE
Keep the learning going and have a look at the many activities that are being offered FREE! A handout of many events and activities are included with today’s newsletter provided by SFUSD. If you do not receive this handout, please call the school office or stop by and pick one up! It has been translated to provide access to every family. – Ms. Keener
Auction Results
Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard in organizing and running the Spring Auction fundraiser this year. We netted approximately $25,000, all of which will go directly back to your children. We now have a working committee dedicated to making it happen once again next year in 2011, with many more parents dedicated to helping out. The organizing team consists of: Alison Levy, Victoria Tan, Mariah Bianchi, Dave Stockett, Michael Conte, Kanya Rajangam, Andrea Brown
Please consider becoming Auction Chair to head up this fabulous team. – Megumi Fuse, PTA President
