The members of Lakeside’s Student Council and Kennedy High School’s Student Government worked together to plant flowers and shrubs at the Hewlett House, which is a community center that provides resources for people with cancer. On May 18, 2025, children took time from their weekend to beautify the grounds of the Hewlett House. The Lakeside Student Council has been doing this project for many years. This is the second year the Kennedy Crew joined in. They did it for the sake of making something beautiful for other people to enjoy.  

The Lakeside Student Council pledged $1,000 for plants and shrubs. The Kennedy High School Student Government added even more money, so overall, a huge number of plants were purchased. All the students and adult supervisors worked until every flower and bush was planted. In honor of all the people diagnosed with breast cancer, the students even planted pinkimpatiens in the shape of the breast cancer ribbon. These groups of students and adults united to give a beautiful example of what happens when many people work together to make their community better.

Levy Lakeside School hosted its annual STEAM Day on May 22, complete with science presentations, hands-on stations, escape rooms, and more. 

Led by STEAM coaches Melissa Robinson, Kelly Larson, Ruth Rosenberg, Shari Dorfman, Randi Walsh, Victoria Ryan, Nicole Mauro, and Jennifer Sullivan, the interactive day was enjoyed by all grades. 

Art teacher Maggi Raadsen-Coviello designed a project for each STEAM room. Keri Sabella, Melissa Levine, and Jamie Kanner incorporated technology into the day. 

“STEAM Day for us is about promoting and celebrating the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics,” explained Robinson. “It is a day our Lakesiders get to explore and discover through hands-on activities created and led by our very own fifth and sixth graders.” 

Third, fourth and fifth graders had an opportunity to break out by solving riddles and clues in our breakout rooms. The day was filled with exploring, building, learning, sharing, and smiling faces.
