It's National School Counselor Week! We’re proud to recognize Mrs. Kaiser, LHS school counselor, and the impact she has on our students every day. She meets with every student at least once a year—and often more—to talk about career paths, future plans, and opportunities they may not have known existed. In group settings, students explore careers and interests using Xello while learning about CTE programs, college options, and other pathways that help shape their next steps. Mrs. Kaiser creates a welcoming, low-pressure counseling environment where students don’t always have to talk—sometimes they just need a quiet space or someone to listen. Her favorite moments are when a student lights up and says, “This is for me!” Through connection, curiosity, and care, Mrs. Kaiser helps students move forward—one open door at a time. Thank you!

It's National School Counselor Week! We’re thrilled to celebrate Mrs. Weaver, LMS school counselor, and all the ways she supports our students! She believes the best way to help students succeed is through teamwork—schools, families, and the community working together.
One of her favorite events is Career Day, where local professionals and CTE programs show students how classroom learning connects to real-world careers. This year, 13 CTE programs from across Berrien County are joining in!
Inside school, Mrs. Weaver’s lunch groups give students a chance to hang out, connect with peers, and even win prizes. This past semester alone, she ran 74 lunch groups and connected with 465 students!
She also meets individually with eighth graders to reflect on middle school and plan for high school and beyond—helping them link their interests to future goals.
For Mrs. Weaver, the best moments are running into former students and seeing the lasting impact of her support.
Thank you, Mrs. Weaver, for everything you do to help students thrive!

Lakeshore Public Schools celebrates Career & Technical Education (CTE) Month!

Congratulations to the Lakeshore 8th Grade Band students, Tolly and Owen who were accepted to perform in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association's All-State Middle School Band on January 24th as part of the Michigan Music Conference. They played at the DeVos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids, packed with an audience of 2,400+ educators and conference attendees.
To earn a spot, they had to complete a very competitive audition against 2,765 other students from across the state of Michigan. Tolly and Owen were two of the 106 middle school students chosen to be in the prestigious All-State Middle School Band. We are very proud of them because this event requires students to independently prepare a challenging and impressive selection of etudes and scales, as well as perform a piece of music they had never seen. We are extremely proud of your exemplary work ethic and attitude, Tolly and Owen!
GO BAND!
