Lakeside Fundraisers!
Lakeside clothing
Each fall, we sell clothing as a fundraiser so each Lakeside student can get a Lakeside PRIDE t-shirt in the spring. This is a part of our PBIS programming.
Orders will be taken now through December 2026.
Goldstar has created new, awesome designs for this year!
Want to order on line: LINK
Also, if you visit Gold Star and shop in-store, mention "Lakeside" and a portion will be donated back to the school!
Lakeside Fundraiser!
NEW THIS YEAR, the PTO will have Wildcat socks available for purchase throughout the year!! Support your school while donating back! ORDER here today and pick up at one of our next events, our next pto meeting or at Goldstar! or simply email CLPTOPRES@gmail.com and we will work out a plan to set up a date for you to get socks or that WRAP blanket you have always wanted to keep warm at for the football, hockey and even lacrosse games! I won't lie, I used mine for a few soccer games as well! YOU WON'T find a better price on a wrap blanket than what we have them for so get them while they are available!!!
Backpack4Kids Program
The “Food4Kids Backpack Program” provides a bag of nonperishable food items to children every week. This program is available to all students, regardless of income. It will be handled discreetly and confidentially. If you would like to sign up for the program, please sign up HERE
Anyone may join at any time during the school year.
Friends Make a Difference Mentoring Program
We have a great opportunity to be a mentor to a Lakeside student! We meet once a month during the lunch period.
Mentorship can make a positive difference in the life of a young person, the mentor, and the community. Investing time and energy in long-term mentor/mentee relationships with our youth is beneficial in preparing them for a future of serving themselves and others. Research confirms that mentoring works!
We encourage you to consider helping make a difference by participating in the valuable friendship mentoring program.
