This year, while the upper grade-level kids were preparing for the annual danceathon, the Student Council Crew wanted to get ALL the Lakeside Lions in a giving spirit. During the danceathon week, the crew held a collection for the Community Cupboard. We collected toiletries, nonperishable foods and cleaning products. 

The Community Cupboard is a food pantry where 30-40 Merrick/Bellmore families can shop each week. The Cupboard is housed at the Brookside School. We were able to send 17 large boxes over to the pantry. We were very happy that so many of our neighbors will benefit from what we collected. The week of March 25 was filled with LOVE and SHARING at Lakeside! We Roared with pride all week long!
