| Lakeside Students at the Jazz Concert |
I hope this windy Friday is going great for you. We have a lot of people this week for recognition. March is marching by rapidly and hopefully Spring is poised to take over. Not sure about you, but I have had enough cold and blustery mornings for this School Year. I am ready for sunshine and warm afternoons watching our Bolts’ athletic teams compete. The Winter Sports season concluded and was a big success. I can’t wait to see what the Spring season will bring. For now, however, do not put away the jacket just yet.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
