This group participated in National Red Ribbon Week this year, promoting a drug-free lifestyle. They wore red, put a cap on it, wore crazy socks, donned jerseys, and sported sunglasses. It was great to see the level of support spread each day—let's reward our schools efforts and positive choices! http://wshe.es/dW2XxYFf

🌟 Day 3 of Red Ribbon Week at Lakeside High! 🌟
Today, students and staff put their best foot forward (in the silliest socks they could find!) to stand against drugs and embrace a healthy lifestyle. 🧦✨ At lunch, 129 students made a powerful commitment by signing our drug-free pledge, and their names proudly decorate our school on bright red bows. Let's keep this momentum going, Lakeside, and stay strong together!


Yesterday, 36 of our juniors and seniors attended the NACAC College Fair at the Spokane Convention Center! They had the chance to connect with college admissions reps and dive into workshops on financial aid, ROTC, collegiate sports, and crafting strong applications. It was an exciting day of exploration and planning for the future! #CollegeFair #LakesideEagles #FutureReady

Nine Mile Families,
We wanted to remind all families that Nine Mile Falls Elementary, Lake Spokane Elementary, and Lakeside Middle School will be released early tomorrow, Wednesday October 23rd to begin parent-teacher conferences. Elementary students and middle school students will not have school on Thursday and Friday this week in order to provide additional parent-teacher conference time during the day.
However, Lakeside High School will have a normal school schedule this week, including late start on Thursday. Buses for our high school students will run as normal for the remainder of the week.
If you have any questions regarding this week’s schedule, please contact your child’s school.
Thank you!
