Grounded in Tradition – Committed to Excellence

Message from the Superintendent

We are grateful for the financial support of the LAKESHORE EXCELLENCE FOUNDATION and for the efforts of the LEF all-volunteer board.My family and

I would like to express our excitement and joy as we enter the Lakeshore district to learn and do life together.

Erica and I are Hope College sweet-hearts and have been married 26 years. Together we have four children who have kept us busy at band concerts, athletic fields/gyms, and swimming pools. Our oldest, Gerrit, is a graduate of Saginaw Valley University where he majored in Communications and Criminal Justice. Rileigh graduated from Albion College and is currently in the Physical Therapy doctoral program at Grand Valley State University. Evan

is starting his second year at Detroit Mercy University, studying Mechanical Engineering. And Audra will be headed to Hope College next fall pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. Life sure has been good!

What drew my attention to Lakeshore Public Schools is an environment that is focused on both a strong set of values, as well as a commitment to excellence in academics.

As I visited each building this spring, it was clear that the staff cares deeply about each and every student. This caring attitude, coupled with a track record of academic excellence, is what separates Lakeshore from other districts.

The 2020-2021 school year was incredibly challenging for everyone. Throughout the pandemic, Lakeshore did an amazing job of delivering an ex-cellent educational experience for each student. As we enter this coming school year, my encouragement for you is to focus on a positive mindset and provide those around you with smiles, joy, and a helping hand when needed. Working together and staying positive are com-pletely in our control and are traits that can benefit anyone at any time.

School will start before you know it. Make the best of these warm summer months and spend as much time as you can with friends and family!

Sincerely,Greg Edinggeding@lpslancer.net

12th Annual Adam Tilly Memorial Golf Outing

On July 10th, 92 golfers came together for a great day at Lake Michigan Hills Golf Course to play in memory of a former teammate, classmate, friend and son, Adam Tilly.

Adam was a 2001 Lakeshore High School graduate. He was a strong athlete, starting for some great Lancer football squads. He threw shot put and discus (and occasion-ally ran 400’s) and was team captain for a track team that won state. He always excelled in the classroom and served two years on student council. Adam was a great individu-

al on and off the field – a selfless teammate who ALWAYS put the team’s objectives above and beyond personal accolades.

In April 2005, he graduated from Michigan Technological University with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree. Adam was a recipient of the prestigious Thompson Scholarship, which is awarded to outstanding students in the university’s civil engi-neering program. After graduating from Michigan Tech, he accepted a civil engineering position with Pearson Construction Co.

In July of 2006, Adam’s life was cut short by melanoma cancer. In memory of Adam, Hans Koppenhoefer (friend and teammate) has organized this yearly event. This once small outing among friends has grown into much more – a 501(c)(3) non-profit organi-zation, AT53Inc., awarding yearly scholarships to outstanding Lakeshore High School seniors. AT53 Inc., has proudly awarded $23,000.00 in scholarships in the past eight years. Great work Hans!

AT53 Inc., is proud to award three scholarships this year to outstanding graduates. Madisen Kozminski who will attend Michigan State University and major in Market-ing. Lars Samuel will also attend Michigan State University to pursue a degree in Actu-arial Science. And Justin (J.J.) Bushu will be attending Kalamazoo Valley Community College to obtain an associate degree. Best of luck to all of you!

Adam is also remembered by his family’s gift to the football program, a storage building on the side of Lancer stadium. The building with the #53, Adam’s three–year varsity football number!

This year’s outing was one of the best by far! With golfers and volunteers coming to-gether for a wonderful event to honor and remember Adam. AT53Inc. wishes to extend a special thank you to our generous hole sponsors, donors, golfers, community leaders, volunteers, family and friends. We are grateful for your support, and proud to represent such a fine young man. We could not do this without you!

LAKESHORE EXCELLENCE FOUNDATION

Heather ValenzianoHeather is a grad-uate of Hartford High School and the University of Michigan. She has enjoyed a 30-year career in corpo-rate events and communications,

organizing and leading large programs for Fortune 50 companies around the world. She was a board member for We Care, Inc. and President of the St. Basil Catholic School Board before moving to St. Joseph in 2012 with her family. Her daughter, Francesca, is a senior at the University of Michigan and son, Jack, a junior at Lakeshore. They all love living on the shores of Lake Michigan and the life-style this area provides. When not away for business you’ll find her in the yoga studios, walking and exercising with friends and fam-ily, attending Jack’s athletic events, reading or cooking. Heather is honored to have been invited to the LEF board and looks forward to becoming involved to support Lakeshore Public Schools.

Rachel ScholtenRachel is a proud alumna of Lake-shore High School and feels hon-ored to support Lakeshore Schools through LEF. Rachel and her hus-band Mark have two sons in the Lakeshore School District, and one of her great joys is to help and vol-unteer within the school. By doing so, she is able to see how valuable

LEF is to both Lakeshore Schools and the local community.

As a Realtor® for Century 21 Affiliated, Rachel has the op-portunity to share our area with others and to show off the wonderful support that exists inside the Lakeshore commu-nity. You can often find Rachel on the sidelines of the soccer, baseball or football fields (basketball court in the winter) supporting her boys, Drew and Derek.

When not juggling the sports schedules, she loves to walk the family dog, Champ, and spend time with her friends and family. Traveling and family vacations are her favorite adven-tures.

Rachel holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornerstone University, where she played soccer for the Golden Eagles.

We are excited to add Rachel Scholten to our LEF board of trustees.

Thank you to our board members who are “retiring” from LEF.

“Retirement is not the end of the road, it’s the beginning of a new highway!”We are grateful to our board members, who have com-pleted their terms of service and have retired from active service to the Lakeshore Excellence Foundation. Laurie Schmidt, Rachel Hall and Phil Freeman have had a tremendous impact on our board, each in very different ways. Although each person received an engraved cut-ting board, we were only able to capture pictures with Rachel and Phil. We hope they enjoy the small token of appreciation.

By the way, those amazing boards were created in Lakeshore’s very own wood shop, which has received funding from LEF. We appreciate the work from the woodworking class!

Lakeshore Public School Community and Our DonorsAs We Look Ahead ...

As I think about the past 18 months, I feel that every individual,

organization and business has been challenged to become more flexible, adaptable and change due to the conditions that developed during this time period. We have all been challenged with the global Coronavirus pandemic and the national outrage at the death of George Floyd in Minneap-olis. We have seen Lakeshore Public Schools develop a Virtual Learning Center, social dis-tancing requirements, masking requirements and a contact tracing protocol. The Board of Education has developed and publicly announced a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) state-ment. I feel that our culture has been forever changed by these events. Change may be difficult, but the forward progress that comes out of this evolution will make us all more aware and resilient.

As such, the Lakeshore Excel-lence Foundation (LEF) has attempted to be flexible and adaptive to these changing conditions. Several examples of these changes include:

• Conducted our foundation business using Google Meet. Our board had al-ways met in person for our monthly meetings.

• Provided an option to suspend Lancer Leader contributions for 2020 due to the business conditions.

• Suspended our traditional fundraising ac-tions (Online Auction and Golf Scramble) due to the business conditions caused by the Coronavirus.

• Developed an additional fundraiser (Cash Raffle) when faced with the suspension of our traditional fundraisers.

• Evaluated and approved the financial sup-port for a HVAC Program, as the trades curriculum becomes increasingly more important versus the traditional college prep.

• Implemented social distancing and a boxed food option, so that we could safely host our LEF Golf Scramble in 2021. We thank this community for the great support and participation that enabled this event to become the most financial-ly successful golf outing that we have ever conducted, raising approximately $30,100. (As a side note, our most suc-cessful fundraiser was the presentation by Navy Seal Rob O’Neil that netted some $96,000 in 2015.)

• Instituted a public commitment to Di-versity, Equity & Inclusion(DEI). Please see page 4 of this publication regarding additional information about how LEF is approaching DEI.

• Another challenge for our LEF Board’s flexibility and adaptability will be the change in Superintendents, as Phil Free-man retires and Greg Eding becomes our new school administrative leader. Phil certainly took the educational experience at Lakeshore to a higher level. However, we look forward to working with Greg to dream, think and execute projects that further enhance educational excellence across our school district.

As you can see, these examples reflect a tremendous amount of change, which everyone has and continues to deal with. However, there contin-ues to be one important area that remains unchanged ... our Lakeshore School system receives less funding than 80% of the other public schools in Michigan. This is measured on a revenue per student metric, and has been a constant for the past several years. As such, we must remain vigilant in our efforts to create an educational experience that is well above average for our students. We will continue to rely on the support of our generous com-munity.

To our Lancer Leaders ($1,000 or more per year contribution), we say a very sincere thank you.

To those of you who are not contributors to the LEF, we would appreciate the oppor-tunity to discuss this tax de-ductible, charitable donation option with you. We all have limited funds for discretionary contributions, but this is a great investment in our kids and their education. Please give me a call (269) 921-2513 or send me an email ... anderjcna@gmail.com ... and let’s talk! J.C. Anderson, LEF Chairmananderjcna@gmail.com(269) 921-2513

LAKESHORE EXCELLENCE FOUNDATION

LEF Commits to DEI - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our dedication to excellent educational experiences is the cornerstone of the Lakeshore Excellence Foundation. We are also committing to a greater focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in order to meet our goal of ensuring that all people are treated fairly so that everyone can achieve their full potential.

Announcing our commitment to DEI is about showing active support for diversity, equity and inclusion. It has been a belief of ours from the be-ginning days of our Foundation, that everyone in the Lakeshore School District should receive an excellent education. We understand that in order to do that, each individual must feel safe and believe they have the same opportunities to succeed. We want each individual to thrive in our schools and believe that diversi-ty is the key to ensure that happens.

The Chief Diversity Officer at the University of Michigan, Robert Sell-ers, characterizes DEI in a simple yet meaningful way: “Diversity is where everyone is invited to the party. Equity means that everyone gets to contribute to the playlist. Inclusion means that everyone has the oppor-tunity to dance.” This is, hopefully, a simplified, yet meaningful, way to think about DEI.

We commit to increasing diversity and looking for opportunities to represent the makeup of our com-

munity. Supporting diversity is inclusive of race, ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual ori-entation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, age, (dis)ability status and political perspective.

We commit to equity through the fair treatment, access, opportuni-ty, and advancement for all peo-ple, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full partic-ipation of some groups.

We commit to pursuing inclusion by creating environments in which any individual or group can be and feel welcomed, respected, sup-ported, and valued to fully partic-ipate. An inclusive and welcoming climate embraces differences and offers respect in words and actions for all people. We believe it is the bedrock of true teamwork, creativ-ity and ultimately excellence.

Through our commitment to DEI, our foundation will ensure the

LEF is proud to support all of our students and staff. We enjoy giving an extra special send-off to our seniors by sponsoring the senior signs.

projects and grants advance our capabilities and represent diverse perspectives so that every individ-ual is positively impacted by our collective support. One of the first action steps we’ve taken was to nominate Jim Roberts as our Vice Chair of DEI. Jim is passionate about DEI and we feel very fortunate to have Jim on our LEF Board. It is a part of who he is and what he does in his business.

Our foundation’s DEI activities will support and complement the actions adopted by the Lakeshore School Board. Together we will fos-ter an environment where everyone has the opportunity for excellence in their educational pursuits.

This may be the first you are hearing LEF discuss DEI but it certainly won’t be the last. Please look for more information about DEI in action in our future communications.

On behalf of the LEF Golf Committee, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for all those who made our annual event a success.

Firing Up Creativity!

Art plays a significant role in our childhood development. And as parents we love to see our kids’ talents fostered through struc-tured learning experiences at school. It’s wonderful to see the excitement on their faces when they bring home a watercolor painting or a hand-drawn picture. If our children are exposed to art at a young age, they are able to tap into their imagination. That confidence in their creativity will have a positive impact throughout their lives.

Clay is one medium that promotes creativity. It is especially helpful in developing fine motor skills in young children. It also encourages self expression and problem solv-ing skills. LEF is proud to support art at all levels of our education-al experience. This year the LEF provided a grant to purchase new kilns for our three elementary schools, and one for the high school. We are looking forward to the masterpieces that will be created by our students during the next school year.

If your child has an art project that they are proud of, please share it with us on our LEF Facebook Page. We’d love to help bring a spotlight to their talents!

The Lakeshore Excellence Foundation is always look-ing for opportunities to spread our message and gain support for our mission, which focuses on providing programs, grants, and educational opportunities for the students, staff and community of Lakeshore Public Schools. So what better way than to team up with a group that offers hundreds of hours of content focused exclusively on our area. We are excited to

announce our partnership with the Lakeshore Lanc-ers Network (LLN).

“While the Lakeshore Lancers Network primarily broadcasts sports, it's our goal to tell the great stories of how an organization like the LEF is impacting students in the district,” said Joe Jason, President of Joe Jason Media LLC and the LLN. “The LEF is doing such tremendous work, much of it unnoticed to the general public. The LEF story must be told and promoted. We are so excited about this partnership with the LEF and hope to be a small part of their future successes.”

Jason offered his 42 years of broadcast experience and media platforms, which includes seven high school broadcast networks, to area school superintendents when they agreed to form the cooper-ative that is the Lakeshore Lancers Network. LLN listeners can keep up-to-date on the latest scores, interviews, and play-by-play cover-age of their favorite local teams, both live and On Demand.

”The opportunity to work with the Lakeshore Lancer Network and Joe Jason is a leap forward in our ability to better market the Lake-shore Excellence Foundation,” said LEF Chairman J.C. Anderson. “We strive to reach everyone within the local area with our message, and the LLN has a strong following due to the strength of the Lakeshore athletic program.”

Check out the Lakeshore Lancers Network on their Facebook page and at LakeshoreLancersNetwork.com. Listen in as Joe Jason inter-views J.C. Anderson about upcoming projects and all things LEF on the Lakeshore Lancers Network.

Hollywood Elementary, 3rd Annual Book Swap

Hollywood Elementary hosted and celebrated its 3rd Annual Book Swap this past Spring. Book Swap purchases were made with student designed Book Bucks. Students participated by bringing in books (in good condition and appropri-ate for elementary students) and exchanging them for Book Bucks.

When a student brought books to school they received “Book Bucks.” Chapter books were traded for two Book Bucks each, picture books equal one Book Buck. Once the books were collected and sorted they were organized into a book-store located in the school’s com-puter lab. Students who had Book Bucks were able to “shop” for a “new to them” book to take home!

Over 4,000 books were swapped this year. Every student was able to earn at least one book buck, for shopping in the Book Swap. Many students had book bucks left over. All leftover books were donated to United Way.

A new tradition was started at Roosevelt this year, the 5th Grade Breakfast! Our 5th graders enjoyed time together with a delicious breakfast prepared by our kitchen staff and were happy to be able to be in the gym together. We are looking forward to this special celebration for years to come!

Mrs. Meyer transformed her kindergar-ten classroom at Stewart into an amazing glow room! The students participated in writing with highlighters, subtracting with glow sticks and much more! The students dressed in white or neon so they could glow, too!

Our very special mascot, Stewie Neutron, sent our kids off for the summer in style! We can’t wait to see you in the fall, Stew-art Family!

Second grade teachers extended stu-dents’ math learning. Students used their knowledge of arrays, double digit addition, and multiplication to develop their own plot of land. They had to buy squares of land to prepare for purchasing buildings and animals.

Poetry SlamThis spring, eighth graders took part in a Poetry Slam where they recited a poem to the class that they had written. The classmates voted for their top three choices within each hour, and middle school staff members chose the top three poems. This year’s top poets are Vivian Rose with first place for "Honey and Glass,” Peighton Mooney with second place for "Butterscotch Skin," and Azuzena Marti-nez-Guitierrez with third place for "My Dream." Congratulations to these poets and thank you to our Poetry Slam judges. Thank you to Forev-er Books in St. Joseph who provided prizes to the winning poets.

The Driftwood 2019-2020A Stunning Performance with 29 Awards - Michigan Interscholastic Press Association (MIPA)

Paul Emery (11) may appear discom-bobulated when seen tearing through the hallways, late to class again, his school bag limp while books and pa-pers tumble out of his arms. But, once breathlessly seated, no longer anxious of a tardy-slip, he transforms from a bull and carriage to simply a boy with his backpack.

Emery isn’t your average 17 year-old. Spiritual mentor Mr. Mike Gathright mentioned with awe, “he does [ev-erything] with a lot of sincerity, a lot of thoughtfulness. He is at ease with who he is,” something that’s rare in this bustling world. There’s this “emotional authenticity that comes through in ev-erything he does,” added English teach-

Kirsten Miazga, 2021 Driftwood Staff: 1st place personality profile er, Ms. Christine Sloan. No matter who it is, Gathright remarked, Emery is “slow to speak, quick to care,” allowing lasting re-lationships to form. Emery’s soul shines light through the halls of Lakeshore, and as Sloan commented, “people turn to him like flowers turned to the sun.”

Emery “is like an open heart walking through the world, feeling and experi-encing everything in this really profound way,” Sloan continued. This not only helps his relationships, but his art as well. Em-ery’s inspiration for his art comes “from personal experiences,” everyday situa-tions reformed to masterpieces in his extraordinary mind. Multiple pieces by Emery have been featured in the South Bend Art Museum, including his “Beast

of Burden” metamorphosis drawing. A piece that illustrates “the metaphorical load you pull as a student,” Emery elaborated that school makes him feel “like I was pulling a wagon by my shoulders though the dirt on the Oregon trail.” Art however helps relieve this burden, something he wants to contin-ue with for the rest of his life. His art teach-er, Ms. Holly Davis, declared that his “kind, upbeat personality makes him easy to work with” allowing Emery to “really do well in whatever he pursues.” Through and through it’s clear, Paul Emery is, as Ms. Sloan dis-closed, “the best of what we can be,” leading a bright and colorful life.
