It’s Homecoming Week! 🎉 What do you love most about being part of the Lakeside community? How do you show off your school spirit? What is your favorite Homecoming tradition or event?

 Prompt Response: The thing I love most about being part of the Lakeside community is its proximity to my house. It is just a 5-minute drive away, so I can sleep late. I show off my school spirit by wearing Lakeside brand apparel to school sometimes, especially when it's free. My favorite Homecoming tradition was going to the elementary school for football. We let the kids out of their cars, then went inside and read a book. I got to see all of my teachers from back then, like in kindergarten.


Summary: In class, we took a quiz on the Lawrence Ferlinghetti poem. We then worked on our poem posters.


Reflection: Lakeside doesn't have many long-standing, well-known traditions, so I couldn't think of much. I wish we did, though.

I have had many holidays and celebrations there, and it holds a meaningful place in my life and that of my family. Summary: Today in class, we learned about the Navajo creation myth and how Begochiddy came to the different worlds and helped the Navajo.
