Life at the Lakes: October 2024

Life at the Lakes in October was exciting and full of Wildcat Pride and traditions!

Here is a glimpse at what happened this month:

 

October 21: Buddy Reading Day

Another great day in the books!

Buddy Reading Day is always a highlight as our Upper and Middle Division students visit the Lower Division to share stories with our youngest readers. It’s a wonderful time for building connections through books, games, and meaningful conversations. Just another reason why our school is so special!

October 21-25: Spirit Week/Pep Rally/Homecoming Tailgate

What a week!

Not all weeks are created equal, and Spirit Week is one of those that still has us smiling! We kicked it off in style with our Buddy Reading tradition, kept the energy going with crazy relay races, dress-up days, Power Puff football, and an unforgettable pep rally.

October 31: Halloween

Once again, we took Halloween to the next level! The Lower Division parade was as adorable as ever, with incredible costumes all around. Trick-or-treating across campus was a blast! But best of all, seeing our Lower, Middle, and Upper Division students come together made the day even more special. Happy Halloween!Halloween 2024Visit the full Halloween gallery.
