When the seniors are away, the juniors will play! Lakeshore High School AP Biology and Forensics juniors took advantage of the beautiful afternoon by volunteering at Grand Mere State Park. Students spent the day pulling invasive species and picking up trash to help preserve one of our community’s natural treasures.
Great job to these hardworking students for giving back and making a positive impact on the environment!

Happy School Lunch Hero Day!
After celebrating our amazing Food Service team during National Nutrition Month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Pam Greiffendorf, our Food Service Director at Lakeshore Public Schools!
For over 30 years, Pam has helped lead one of the busiest “restaurants” in town—serving around 2,500 meals every day to our students.
Her favorite part of the job is simple but powerful: knowing every child has had the chance to eat.
We are so grateful for Pam’s dedication, leadership, and the care she brings to our students and community each day.
Be sure to check out photos of Pam and some of her incredible Food Service teammates throughout the past 30 years—you won’t want to miss the memories!

Who would have guessed?
In honor of School Principal Day on May 1, we’re taking a walk down memory lane… back to when our incredible Lakeshore Public Schools principals were just youngsters themselves!
From playground dreamers to school leaders, these five familiar faces have grown into the inspiring principals who guide our students, support our staff, and lead our buildings with heart every single day.
• Ben McIntyre – Hollywood Elementary School
• Rachel Kyncl – Roosevelt Elementary
• Jerry Holtgren – LHS
• Carole Fetke – Stewart Elementary
• Allison Arend – LMS
Did they imagine they’d one day be shaping the future of LPS? Maybe… maybe not. But we sure are glad they did!
Join us in celebrating these amazing leaders!
