LADY EAGLES LACROSSE WINS
The Lady Eagles of Varsity lacrosse celebrated a victory of 9-8 over the Amherst Lady Tigers on Tuesday, April 17. As the team will surely agree, Alie Jimerson was the star player of the game scoring 5 of the 9 Lake Shore goals; 7th grader Shayla Scanlan stayed strong at center. At the other end of the field the defense tamed the Tigers when they attacked. Holding strong in goal, Courtney Black stopped 7 shots on net. Vivian Curry, Marissa Haring, and Kiersten Kennedy played a large part in the victory by keeping the midfield moving, causing turnovers and making interceptions. The Lady Tigers are the defending division C champions for the past five years. Our own Lady Eagles made it well known that there is new competition in town.

LEO’S CLUB FEED THE HUNGRY
The generation gap was closed as Lake Shore Middle School students, parents and CS&V/ Leo’s Club advisers volunteered at Saint Luke’s Mission of Mercy on Saturday, April 21st. All were welcomed by the coordinator of Volunteers: Dave Topar. A brief history of the founding of the mission was given and students were given a peek at the multi-purpose campus. Students organized a working area by moving
boxes of donated food, peeled potatoes, and separated cookies into handout packets for future use. Lake Shore Middle School students also served the needy hotdogs/sandwiches, macaroni salad, soup/crackers, and a sweet treat while woking in a cafeteria. All of the homeless were appreciative. Students and parents alike commented on how they were uplifted by the experience and would gladly return to help next year.
