While some people were getting a head start on Spring Break and relaxing on the beach this past weekend… our robotics team was in Battle Creek doing something a little different — dominating the competition.
Team Lance A Bot had an incredible event, achieving milestones we’ve never reached before! We placed #1 in the qualification rounds and went completely undefeated with an amazing 17-0 record, securing our second district championship title!
On top of that, we were honored to receive the Autonomous Award, sponsored by Google — a testament to the innovation, precision, and hard work our team has poured into this season.
This weekend wasn’t just a win — it was history in the making for our team. So proud of the dedication, teamwork, and passion that made it all happen. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started!
Lakeshore Public Schools wishes all of our Lancer families a safe, fun, and relaxing Spring Break! Whether you're traveling, spending time at home, or enjoying the outdoors, we hope your week is filled with rest and great memories.

Chris Grapis remembers the encouragement of mentor Cindy Huff, who helped him persevere and believe in his potential. Now he loves seeing students experience those same “lightbulb” moments when concepts finally click.
Christina Bauman treasures performing with students at concerts, watching their hard work come together on stage and seeing the pride on their faces after a successful performance.
Matt Pagel values long-term relationships with students, from fifth grade through high school, and one of his favorite memories was celebrating a strong performance with seniors after MCBA prelims—recognizing their dedication and impact on the program.
Band teaches discipline, collaboration, and lifelong appreciation for music. If you’re considering joining, give it a try—music is a journey worth taking.
Happy National Music in Our Schools Month to choir at Lakeshore Middle School and Lakeshore High School! LMS choir teacher Alyson Grumbine treasures final performances and the moments when students’ skills “click,” knowing each performance is unique. High school choir teacher David Gailey values the tradition of “Night of Silence,” where alumni return to sing with current students and reconnect across generations.
Our accompanists help bring music to life. Esther Kraus grew up surrounded by music and was inspired as a child watching a video of Joni Mitchell perform “Big Yellow Taxi,” realizing how music can express emotions words often cannot. Kellie Meyer discovered her love of piano at age eight and cherishes moments when students experience the “aha” feeling of mastering a new concept—memories shaped by her lifelong involvement with the Lakeshore music community.
Choir builds community, creativity, and lifelong memories. This month, we celebrate the teachers, accompanists, and students who make music possible!
