The Lakeside High School PTSA and the The Lakeside Foundation invite you to a Community Open House on Sunday, November 4th, from 2:00 to 4:00. We encourage prospective and former students; former, current and rising parents; former faculty members and administrators; as well as community members and local business people to attend. Last spring guests were able to get a glimpse at the nearly completed $24 renovation and expansion of LHS. Now guests will get a full look at the completed product!
Volunteers will give guided tours of the entire facility from the new Fine Arts Building with its 600-seat auditorium, band, orchestra, chorus and art classrooms to the 25-classroom addition; from the renovated Media Center to the Cafeteria with its outdoor patio and the newly completed Track and Fields! Guests will also have a chance to talk with Mr. Reed and students. They will also enjoy lively entertainment throughout the afternoon provided by students involved in Lakeside's wonderful Performing Arts Programs. PTSA and Foundation members will be on hand to sell commemorative bricks and to share information about future projects that need funding in order to meet the needs of our students and faculty.
So don't miss this great community event. Encourage your neighbors and friends to come see all that is happening inside their "new" neighborhood school! We look forward to seeing you!
