VI. Superintendent Informational Report
Presenter:
Greg Eding
Description:
Lakeshore Public Schools is doing some amazing work with and for our students.  A group of students went to Germany for 18 days and had an amazing time of learning.  That group is here tonight and we will get an opportunity to hear directly from them.

Another Lakeshore student group, the Lakeshore Band, traveled to Florida during Spring Break and was able to perform and march at Disney World.

I am proud that both of these groups had the opportunity to take part in these fantastic trips.  In January, with COVID numbers spiking, we talked at length about the feasibility of these trips and we kept holding on - and then to see them happen and to see the amazing experience that our students had was so wonderful.  A huge thank you to Band director Matt Pagel, as well as teacher Amy Perkins for their work in organizing and managing these adventures.  

Tonight, we will also get a chance to hear from JC Anderson, Chairman of the Lakeshore Excellence Foundation.  JC is a longtime supporter of all things Lakeshore and he would like to share a quick update from the LEF, as well as a letter of support for the Lakeshore Board and the district.
