A Message from Mrs. Hoynes

May 15, 2026

Dear Lake Families,

Thank you to so many for coming out to our Art Show/STREAM night.  The event received outstanding feedback and was one of the best-attended events of the year. A special thank you to Mrs. Smith for all her hard work setting up our school to showcase the students’ work and Mrs. Pike for planning and organizing such a fun, creative event for our families to engage in.  Also, thank you to the many parents that volunteered their time to run the book fair for our students throughout the week.  

I want to extend a special thank you to the PTA and parents for their creativity and generosity during Staff Appreciation week.  We were very spoiled throughout the week and we can’t thank you enough.  Our students have been working hard to complete their Spring benchmark assessments.  We are also in the process of receiving our Ohio State Assessment results back. The teachers and I are so thrilled with the progress our students have made this year! Math and Science OST scores are now available on the Parent Portal and ELA will be available in about a week.

I hope our families are enjoying reading Nim’s Island and students are engaged in the daily activities and trivia. As we look ahead to the final two weeks of school, there is a lot on the calendar! There are a few more field trips yet to come for some grade levels. Also, our kindergarteners will have their kindergarten celebration music program on May 19th at 6:00 PM.  We have two house color days in a row, one for our final assembly of the year and the other for field day.  Speaking of field day, it is in one week!  Volunteer information went home via email and we’ve been pleased with the response we’ve received.  Please make sure students come to school with their house shirts or colors on, appropriate shoes for athletic activities, and socks for the bounce houses. If the sun will be shining, please apply sunscreen to your child prior to them leaving the house for the day.  We are not permitted to apply sunscreen on the students. We will have one school lunch choice, which will be the hot dog picnic lunch.  Students are allowed to bring a towel or small blanket to sit on outside during our picnic. Field day will take place rain or shine! 

Our last week of school is a short week, with no school Monday, May 25 due to Memorial Day. The school year will come to a close on Thursday, May 28. We will start the day with our Awards Breakfast by invite only and end the day with Fifth grade graduation and clap out. The graduation will take place at 1:00 PM and the clap out will be immediately following. We look forward to a fun, productive end of the school year.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Laurie Hoynes
