School’s out, the little tykes have been on vacation for a week, and they’re already bored. How are you going to make it to August? Here are some ideas on how parents and children can get through the summer and have a good time doing it just by planning fun things to do every day. It’s easier than you think.
You can help change lives. On June 9, 6-10 p.m., the Blair Charity Group is sponsoring a family evening of fun at Golf N’ Stuff. An all-inclusive ticket includes unlimited golf, bumper boats, laser tag, batting cages, and so much more. Proceeds benefit the Arizona Basketball Academy, providing underserved youth access to basketball camps where they learn essential life skills.
We appreciate our teachers every day, but during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 1-5, students can express their gratitude with a different theme each day.
La Paloma offers free Title I Summer School, so kids don’t lose any reading, writing, or math skills over the long summer break. Space is limited! Download the registration packet below and bring your completed packet back to the front office as soon as possible.

Is home ownership right for you? It may be easier than you think! Parents can find out at our informational Home Buyers Class on April 18. April is Financial Literacy Month, and we’ll have real estate experts share their knowledge and provide you with tools to determine if home ownership is right for your family. Classes are from 6-7 p.m., with a Q&A session from 7-7:30 p.m. Dinner and childcare will be provided.
The development of good reading skills in early childhood is the best predictor of future academic and financial success. The earlier kids learn to read, the better. The challenge is, not to teach kids to read, but to create an environment where kids will learn to love reading.
On March 29, while parents and teachers are engaged in Data Meetings, kids can have fun at the Character Counts Carnival, from 5:30-7 p.m., in the multi-purpose room.
Students in 4th-8th grades can join Lakeside’s Robotics Club and make friends—or any type of robot they want. From March 29-May 24, the club will meet every Wednesday at 2 p.m. in Mr. Gardner’s classroom. A $25 membership fee includes a Robotics Club T-shirt.
Share your mad science skills with others by joining Lakeside’s Mad Scientist Club. From March 29-May 24, students in 2nd-8th grades will meet every Wednesday at 2 p.m. in Mrs. Chambers’ room. A $25 membership fee includes a Mad Scientist Club T-shirt.
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. A lot has changed in the 30 years since Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in 1987. The main change has come in education which, until fairly recently, had no cohesive plan for teaching the developmentally disabled.
For beginners to advanced players, Lakeside’s Chess Club is waiting for you to make your move! From March 29-May 24, the club will meet every Wednesday at 2 p.m. in Ms. Bell’s room. A $25 membership fee includes a Chess Club T-shirt.
