Scholastic Book Fair - Volunteers Still Needed
As many of you know, our Spring Half Price Scholastic book fair continues on Monday and Tuesday this week. This is a huge district wide event that is being held in our school gym and will support resources for our library.
We are still in need of some volunteers for this event, particularly Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning to help pack up. Please see our volunteer sign up form and consider signing up to help.
SILENT AUCTION FUNDRAISER - Beach House Restaurant - June 2, 2017 - 7 pm to Midnight!!!
Don't forget to get your tickets for this fabulous event! Tickets are $30 each and include light appetizers, a dance and, of course, the Silent Auction. Tickets are available in the gymnasium during all of our Book Fair openings on Monday and Tuesday this week. You won't want to miss it!
We have received some amazing donations already and we would like to thank Lochside Families for your generous donations. We are still in need of more items for the auction and if you would like to donate, please fill out the form sent home last week and return it, along with the donation, to the marked box located outside the front office at the school.
This is a fundraiser to raise funds for a new electronic sign for Lochside. We hope to see you!!!

Lochside’s Annual Year End BBQ will take place on Friday, June 23rd from 5:00 – 8:00! We will have a BBQ, bouncy castles, face-painting, photo booth, relay races and so much more … so mark those calendars!
This is a wonderful community building event and we would love to hear from you if you are interested in being a part of the planning and organizing committee. We appreciate any time a parent or guardian is able to contribute and no contribution is too small. Please contact Kelly Perry if you would like to be involved in any way.
