Getting Closer to the End

Now that Senior Week and the Prom is behind us, we will begin our end-of-the-year events such as Honors Night, a lot of testing, and spring sports playoffs.

Honors Night is this Thursday night (April 22) at 6:30pm. Students were sent personal invitations last week and should be at school in their seats by 6:15pm. After the ceremony, we will have a reception in the commons for all of our students and families in attendance. Students needing to get an Honor Chord should see Mrs. Sprouse.

Our last progress report goes home Tuesday with each student...parents, please help us prevent your child from catching too much spring fever...we have a lot of school left! Stay abreast of the grades as we wind down the last 25 days of the year.

AP exams and EOCT's will begin in the next few weeks. Our daily bell schedule will be modified during these days and Power Period will be finished for the year on April 30!

Congrats to our Georgia Math League Team for placing 7th in the state and being the top school in Columbia County. We beat Augusta Prep, Evans, Grovetown High . Check out our main page for a link to all of the state scores! Way to go, Mrs. Good and Math League students!

Our Poetry Night Reception for the Lakeside Review will be on Monday night April 19 at 7pm. Grade level winners and our overall Lakeside Poet Laureate will be named! The ceremony will be held in the media center...feel free to join us for the fun!

Rest Up For A Busy Return!

Whew! It seemed like spring break would never get here, but it finally did. We are out of school until Monday April 12. When we return it's Senior Week and the daily themes are listed on our home page. Wednesday morning we have our Senior Breakfast at 8am. Seniors must turn in their Graduation Contract in order to be able to attend the Breakfast. At the breakfast, Seniors will receive their graduation attire and invitations from Balfour....yes, graduation time is drawing near! Our Prom is that Friday night at Sacred Heart Cultural Center...see Mrs. Matthews in the media center if you have any questions. The following week will include Honors Night (April 22 at 6:30pm). Then we will begin our testing "festival" because of the hundreds of AP exams that will be administered along with EOCT's. We still have lots of school left, so be ready to hit the ground running when we get back!
