Dear
Community,
Lake
Spokane believes in the power of a team. Our team consists
of parents, staff, students, and community members, who
all contribute to our learning environment. We appreciate
and honor our team, the time and commitment each member
brings to our school, and the gift it is to our kids.
 |
There
were multiple opportunities for students to be involved
in curricular and co-curricular events. Over 40 students
participated in our ASB program led by four officers
from fifth grade. Kristen Hastings led this ASB group
and enhanced their leadership role in our school.
They also participated in multiple service projects
throughout the year. |
Once
again, our Parent Teacher Network provided Lake Spokane
with many opportunities for students and their families
to participate in fun and engaging activities. Their
goal of bringing families and the community together
was met beyond all expectations. The activities were
too large in number to name them all; some of the highlights
were the Book Fairs, Boo Bash, Skate Nights, Talent Show,
and of course, one of the favorites, the Carnival. In
addition, the PTN again offered summer camps for students.
This committed group of parents also continued their
support of our technology resource needs. Their fund-raising
efforts have afforded Lake Spokane the opportunity for
more document cameras for our kids and teachers. Thank
you PTN!!!
Our
Thursday morning collaboration time has been an incredible
asset for our learning improvement efforts. Teachers
spent time aligning curriculum, discussing instructional
strategies, designing curriculum, creating scope and
sequences for grade level curriculum, etc. This time
was a critical piece in our effort to be the best school
we can be. Our Learning Teams focused on reading strategies
for comprehension with nonfiction informational text,
strategies for implementation of our two new math curriculums,
and laying the foundation for a comprehensive writing
program.
Students
had opportunities to participate in our After School
Gifted Program. Students were involved in Reading Clubs,
Math Clubs, and a Game Strategy Club. Our fifth grade
Math Club performed very well in our local competition
and as a result was invited to compete at the State level
where they represented our school with success. In an
effort to reach all kids in the area of literacy, small
groups were formed to work with those students needing
additional support, and a Homework Club was also available
for students needing assistance in academic areas.
Sincerely,
Bridget (Monahan) Lewis, Principal
