The Home and School
is a group of volunteer parents interested in enriching the Lakeside Academy
environment. Meetings are held once a month in the staff lounge.
The Home and School organizes the sale of the school uniform and staffs the
uniform room during the year. This service is greatly appreciated by the
Lakeside parents and all profits are donated back to Lakeside Academy to
purchase much needed equipment for the school.
The volunteers organize and run the Graduation Reception, offer refreshments for
Meet the Teacher, Open House and Awards Night as well as host Teacher
Appreciation Week.
The Home and School, in conjunction with Lakeside Academy, has a major
fundraiser each year.
The
monies raised by the Home and School are used to enrich education and school
life at Lakeside. Its funds have provided the school with digital cameras,
security cameras, computers, a scoreboard in the gymnasium, vertical blinds for
the science lab, Mapco maps and basketball uniforms as well as sponsoring the
grade ten trip to New York City.
The Lakeside Academy Home and School provides parents with an opportunity to be
involved in school life and to work with other parents in an informal,
cooperative atmosphere. An administrator, a teacher representative and a
Governing Board representative attend each meeting and keep parents informed
about school activities.
For more information please call the school and leave a message for the Home and
School President.
