SPRING
- Open House and Science Fair: Admire science projects created by students from all grades. Classrooms are open for visits and students’ work is displayed.
- Auction and Wine Tasting: This event moved off-site and apart from the Spring Fling in 2005 and we are maintaining this schedule in order to attract a larger crowd of potential buyers. This adult-only event requires a large number of school volunteers, and is the largest fundraiser of the year. It is an elegant evening of fine food, drinks, socializing and bidding. Wine tasting and sales of competition-grade wines add to the evening.
- Spring Fling: An all-day family festival on the playground brings fun and funds to Lakeshore. It represents one of our bigger fundraisers and we request help from every family.
- Graduation: Daytime festivities celebrate a momentous event for graduating fifth-graders and their families.
