Help Wanted: Leopard Store Shopkeepers (K-2)
Be a part of the positivity! Leopard Bucks and the Leopard Bucks Store are key to our school's PBIS program. Leopard Bucks are given as recognition when students make the choice to uphold Lakeshore's core values: Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible.
A visit to the "store" is an exciting opportunity for students to exchange their hard-earned Leopard bucks for a tangible token of their positive choices.
As shopkeeper, you will open the store for one grade, and you can choose which grade you sign up for. A "shift" is 1 hr 15 mins. You can commit to one time or multiple shifts.
Most importantly, as Shopkeeper you will support PBIS at Lakeshore and share in the good feeling generated by students who are proud of their positive choices. Thank you for helping out!
Sign up here:
Kindergarten: Click here
1st Grade: Click here
2nd Grade: Click here
Grades 3-5: Teachers run the Leopard store. Please contact your child's teacher to see if they'd like your help!

Lakeshore Library Wishlist
We have created an Amazon Wishlist that will help support our students.
|
|
Click above or visit http://a.co/iemkQMw to support our library.
Many of the books on the wishlist are high interest books that we cannot purchase from our library vendor, or books that have been requested by students or teachers that we’d love as soon as possible. The Lakeshore library only has a one-time order through the district that usually arrives in late January, but there are so many new books we’d love to read before that! Also, to comply with library durability standards, all books must be in hardcover or library binding format. Thank you for your support!
