Lakeside Middle School

Batter up! ⚾️ Students knocked it out of the park in Mrs. Cabiad’s class today! She took her lesson outside for a game of Vocabulary Baseball, and the kids were hitting home runs left and right!💥 There is nothing better than seeing our students work together, cheer each other on, and master their vocabulary words while soaking up some sunshine. Way to crush it, team! 🏆

🎉LAKESIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL 🤝GENERATION ALIVE! 🎉 Today, we officially launched our Generation Alive Kickoff Assembly, and the energy in the room was absolutely electric! Our students are fired up and ready to make a huge impact in our local community. We are also thrilled to announce a massive shout-out and welcome to our official Generation Alive sponsor, Timber Roofing! 🌲🔨 They have generously partnered with our amazing PTN to support this year's campaign and help our students learn the power of giving back. We couldn't do this without local leaders like Timber Roofing stepping up to invest in our kids and our community. 💪 Here is where we need YOUR help! Our big goal this year is for our PTN to partner with GA to raise funds for our upcoming food packing event. Every penny raised goes directly toward purchasing ingredients for shelf-stable meals, which our students will hand-pack themselves to support food-insecure families right here in our own Nine Mile community. Let’s work together to show our neighbors some love and make sure no one goes hungry! Stay tuned to see all the amazing things our students accomplish during this GA challenge!

Today, our Lakeside Eagles participated in our second emergency response drill of the school year. While we hope these skills are never needed in a real-world scenario, being prepared is our top priority. Today’s Focus: Medical Emergency Response We simulated a medical emergency within a classroom to test our internal systems. Our students and staff were nothing short of phenomenal: • The "Secure and Teach" Protocol: Students across the building moved quickly to their classrooms and remained calm and focused throughout the duration of the drill. • The Response Team: Our dedicated team of teachers and staff, supported by our school nurses and Resource Sheriff, reacted with incredible speed and professionalism. • The Result: The entire drill was successfully cleared in under 10 minutes! A huge thank you to our students for their maturity and to our staff for their vigilance. We are proud to see our Eagles soaring when it comes to safety and responsibility. 🦅🎓

Today is National School Principals’ Day, and while we appreciate strong leadership every day, we wanted to take a moment to specifically honor our principal, Mr. James Ashlock. James is a truly mighty leader who brings a rare blend of strength, intentionality, and genuine care to our halls. To know James is to know a leader who doesn't just "run" a building—he nurtures a community. We are incredibly lucky to have his steady hand and clear vision at the helm of our school. Thank you, Mr. Ashlock!!!

🎓 They grow up so fast! 🎓 Our incredible 8th grade class took a huge step toward their future by registering for their high school classes! It’s hard to believe that just a short time ago they were walking our halls as brand new middle schoolers, and now they’re making decisions that will shape their high school journey and beyond. From future engineers and athletes to artists, leaders, and everything in between — the excitement and potential in this group is truly inspiring. We are so proud of the young adults they’ve become during their time here. Their growth, resilience, and personality have left a lasting mark on our school.
