Lakeside Academy of Math, Science and Technology staff from left are third-grade teacher Sherry Heinz, clerical office assistant Susan Bollinger and first-grade teachers Joy Medley and Heather Parker. They will participate in the upcoming school yard sale.In the event of rain, the sale will be Nov. 12. School parking spaces will be rented for $10 each to vendors selling gently used clothing and household items. Lakeside volunteers will sell concessions of coffee, doughnuts, muffins and hot chocolate.
“We would like to bring some of the community out here that might not be aware of our school,” said Lakeside Academy clerical office assistant Susan Bollinger. “It is our first year to host the yard sale fundraiser. Whatever [vendors] make off their gently used items, they keep.”
Funds raised from parking spot rentals and concessions will be used to help purchase a $250 behavior software system to track behavior issues and to buy behavior incentive rewards for Lakeside Academy students.
“We have a behavior system called School Wide Positive Behavior Support,” said Bollinger. “Through the behavior system, we offer rewards. When we see a child doing a positive behavior, the child is rewarded [with leopard loot to buy prizes from the leopard loot cart].”
