As we spend this day with family and friends, may we take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and express our gratitude for those who gave their lives for our nation.
From all of us at Lakeshore Public Schools, thank you to our fallen heroes. We remember you. We honor you. We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙

Our graduates had the opportunity to visit Lakeshore Middle School and their elementary school one last time this afternoon. They enjoyed reconnecting with former teachers and being cheered on by the next generation of Lancers during their walk through the buildings! Some graduates visiting at Roosevelt Elementary even joined a quick game of locomotor vs. non-locomotor movement in a PE class—what a fun and memorable sendoff!

Real-World Prep in Marketing 2!
Our Marketing 2 students participated in Mock Interviews this week, gaining valuable real-world experience thanks to seven generous professionals—including local business owners, HR experts, and leaders from the SW MI Chamber, Tourism, and Cornerstone Alliance. Students completed job applications, wrote resumes, practiced interview questions, and dressed professionally for their interviews.
Interviewers described our students as polite, respectful, well-prepared, and kind—and for some, it was their first interview ever! A big thank you to all who made this powerful learning opportunity possible!
