MONEY MATTERS 

Community will be asked 

to Determine Level of 

Programming and 

Services for Lake 

“Do you support the continued reduction of staffing 

and programs or do you support passing an operating 

issue to continue to serve our students at our current 

levels?” That is the question that will be asked of the 

community as the district plans for 2013 and beyond. 

The preliminary district budget is approximately 

$28.4M. Anticipated revenue for this fiscal year is 

$28.2M. With costs for almost all budgetary items 

expected to increase substantially in the near future, 

the deficit spending pattern will increase dramatically 

from year to year. The district is prepared to continue 

to reduce programming and services if the community 

does not support additional operating revenue. 

Preliminary recommendations may include reduction 

or elimination in busing for high school students, 

participation fees for athletic, music and extracurriculars 

and elimination of academic elective 

offerings not required by the Ohio Department of 

Education. There have already been many reductions: 

for the fourth year, all buildings and departmental 

budgets have been reduced by 6%, resulting in a 24% 

decrease and 20 staff members have not been replaced, 

with both of these actions resulting in close to $2M in 

savings to the district. A total staff reduction of 

approximate 30 has been achieved through retirements 

and attrition, and budget cuts have been in addition to 

other reductions such as elimination of field trips and 

release days for professional development outside of 

the district. 

In addition, certified and classified staff has agreed 

Nichols to Succeed Moffat 

as Lake’s Treasurer 

Nicole Nichols, a Lake High School graduate, has 

been named by the Lake Local Board of Education to 

succeed Bob Moffat as District Treasurer. Moffat, 

who will retire in December of this year, has been 

with the District for 20 years. 

Nichols is currently serving as the Treasurer of the 

Stark County Area Joint Vocational School District, 

responsible for the receipt, distribution, investment 

and reconciliation of all funds. Prior to her service 

with the JVS, Nichols was an audit manager for the 

State of Ohio with responsibilities including 

budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting, as 

well as research and resolution of technical 

to concessionary contracts with a freeze on step 

increases in salary for the past three years, and a focus 

on reduction of substitute usage and overtime has 

resulted in additional savings. 

Beginning this fall, Lake has reduced the number of 

bus stops that it operates. The District has 29 busses 

that traveled approximately 1,450 miles per day last 

year. With the reduced number of stops, busses will 

now travel approximately 800 miles per day, a 

difference of 650 miles, translating to a savings of 

more than $85,000 per year. State minimums could be 

put in place next year, eliminating bussing for grades 

9-12 and further reducing the number of stops for 

grades K-8. Other changes could include a pay to 

participate fee for all extra-curricular activities and 

additional staff and service reductions. 

The district is currently operating at budget levels 

below 2007-2008. “We are budgeted for 

approximately $300,000 less than what we spent in 

2007-2008, so we are very happy with our stewardship 

and focus on being conscientious with our resources”, 

says Jeff Wendorf, Lake’s Superintendent. “We have 

always been fiscally responsible, but reductions in 

funding from the State of Ohio as well as decreased 

local revenue will force us to begin to eliminate some 

of things that we have taken for granted like bussing 

for all students, athletic and arts programming that are 

no cost to our families, smaller class sizes and 

academic elective course offerings. We will be 

counting on the community to direct us as to how they 

want to proceed with these reductions. Presenting our 

budget and our possible reductions in programming is 

not a threat. It is simply the reality of having to 

operate with $1.5M less in our budget. We feel 

strongly that our students need the level of 

programming and support that they are currently 

receiving in order to continue to be prepared for 

higher education and the workforce.”

Ms. Nichols earned her Bachelor of Business 

Administration with an accounting major and finance 

minor, from Kent State University. She achieved her 

School Treasurer’s License through Ashland 

University. In addition to her work, Nichols was 

recognized by Leadership Stark County Signature 

Program’s 24th class, the Ohio Auditor of State with 

an award for exemplary financial reporting in 

accordance with GAAP, and with the 2004 Auditor of 

State Distinguished Service Award. 

Ms. Nichols resides in Hartville with her husband 

and twin daughters, who attend Hartville Elementary 

School. She is involved in the PTO and the Lake 

Youth Softball program.

Mackert, Director of Quality and Communication. 

A loss of revenue for Lake 

The CAT is an annual privilege tax measured by gross receipts on business activities. This tax applies 

to all types of businesses and was enacted to replace the Tangible Personal Property Tax (TPP) and the 

Corporate Franchise Tax. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation, “The stated purpose of the 

CAT was to fund “the needs of the state and its local governments”. Originally, all of the money was 

used to replace school and local government TPP revenues. That has changed so that now monies are 

placed into a General Revenue Fund and redistributed. Now, schools receive 52.5% of revenues, 

decreasing to 35% next year. Because the funds are redistributed indirectly, taxes raised from a particular 

district’s businesses are placed into the general fund for redistribution and not necessarily given back to 

the district from which they were raised. Why is this important? Case in point, Lake loses revenue each 

year to Jackson and North Canton, both which receive monies raised from Lake Local School district 

businesses. Last year, Lake received $240,401, down from $832,712 in 2011, compared to $2,572,240 

received by Jackson and $1,873,354 received by North Canton. Lake is projected to earn $0 in 2013.

DISTRICT HAPPENINGS 

Lake’s Digital Student 

Enrollment Climbing 

For the past four years, Lake High School has seen 

the number of students enrolled in on-line classes climb. 

Lake works with Florida Virtual School to offer its 

students opportunities for classes from online personal 

fitness to advanced placement and honors core courses 

like Government, Chemistry, English and Algebra. 

With more than one-third of students in higher 

education taking at least one online class, and 65% of 

higher learning institutions stating that online learning is 

a critical part of their long-term strategy*, introducing 

this method of learning in high schools across the 

United States is becoming more and more important. 

“We believe that it is important for our students to 

be prepared for continued studies and be able to take 

classes that are not only challenging but that fit their 

schedules and their areas of interest. Many taking our 

online classes are students that are adding classes of 

interest or taking electives that may not fit in their 

schedules. While we continue to have some online 

opportunities that may help struggling students, most of 

our digital students are high achieving and collegebound”, 

says John McAllister, Lake’s Director of 

Instruction. 

At Lake, there are students taking one on-line class, 

and some taking the majority of their schedules online. 

There are many ways to communicate with teachers, 

including Skype, text, email and phone and most classes 

have an on-line discussion board that allows students to 

interact with each other through prompts and questions 

chosen by the instructor. “I really like that I have 

flexibility with my Marine Science Honors class”, says 

junior Preston Mackert. “I have a really intense training 

schedule for my hockey and taking classes online helps 

me budget my time. I think that my classes are at least 

as challenging if not more so and I have the opportunity 

to learn from other students as well as great 

communication with my teachers”. 

Since 2009, the district has seen an increase from 68 

to 174 enrollments in online classes, with 31 classes 

now offered, up from 12. The Stark County ESC 

convenes a group of Digital Directors from its member 

districts monthly to share best practices and collaborate. 

While all Lake Students have the opportunity to take 

their online classes with Lake teachers, other districts 

partner with Lake to have students take classes not 

offered through their district. For example, Lake has 

several students from another district taking Latin 

through its program. 

Lake’s American History, US Government and 

Economics teacher Mike Hooper has this to say about 

the online curriculum: “I like digital learning because it 

gives the students the flexibility to complete required 

learning on their own time schedule and since the 

learning takes place outside of school, it also requires 

the students to learn self-discipline. They must be 

responsible for keeping current with the assignments. I 

feel that a lot of the students who take on-line courses 

will be going to college and they will then have some 

experience in taking an on-line course and being 

responsible for turning their work in on time.”

will be held on Wednesday, October 17 during the school day in the Large Group 

Instruction Room at Lake Middle School. A practice test will be given on October 16. 

The cost for the test is $14.00 (cash or check made payable to Lake High School).* 

Payment is due at the time of registration. Registration deadline is Friday, October 12, no 

exceptions. If you have any questions, please contact the high school guidance office at 

330-877-4285. 

*If your check is returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF), your account will be debited 

electronically for both face amount and returned check fee. 

Yellowstone Class Trip 

This year will be a special year for a few juniors at Lake HS because a new science 

class will be offered on Yellowstone National Park. The class will meet after school 

starting in November on Wednesday nights from 6:00 to 8:30 until May. Several Lake 

Staff members will play a role in the teaching of this class and they are Mrs. Mendenhall, 

Mr. Sommers, Mr. Urbanek and Mr. Wolfe. Topics covered will include the history of the 

park as well as the unique geology, natural history, flora, fauna and thermal features. 

Since camping, backpacking and fly fishing are going to be an important component of 

the trip students will be given the basics for each of these topics as well. In July of 2013, 

a trip to Yellowstone National Park will allow for the knowledge and skills to be put into 

action. While the class is supported by LHS it will not be funded by the district. Each 

student will have a considerable time and monetary investment in the class. There are 

plans for fundraisers to help reduce the costs for students. In addition, Mr. Urbanek has 

contacted various outdoor venders and suppliers for either free or reduced costs on specific 

items such has dehydrated camping food, camping equipment or fly fishing materials. So 

far most of the contacted venders and stores have been very helpful and willing to discount 

needed items. 

Interested students (juniors only) have to complete an application process. The 

applications are in the Yellowstone class folder under the Science Departments 

eClassrooms site on the Lake Local web page. In addition to the applications, there is an 

informative power point as well as the tentative course syllabus and YNP itinerary. 

Interested parents can e-mail Mr. Urbanek at urbanekken@lakelocal.org 

National Friends of Libraries Week 

The Lake Community Branch Library will be spending the entire week of October 21-27, 

2012, celebrating its Friends of the Library group. The Friends of the Lake Community Branch 

Library are celebrating their 10th year anniversary this fall. Currently over 200 community 

members contribute annually to the Friends and 56 of these contributors actively volunteer their 

time to assist the group with fundraising efforts that include the annual used book sale held 

every June. 

“Our library would be much poorer without the Friends,” said Library Branch 

Manager Jen Welsh. “I think most patrons would be surprised to learn how many of the 

services and programs they enjoy are supported by the Friends.” 

“The library has always played such an important role in my life” said Friends 

president Nancy McKnight. “This is an especially busy time for our group this year as we are 

actively working to pass #Issue 42. This Levy for Stark County District Library is crucial to 

maintain our excellent library services. The levy funds currently represent 40% of the Library’s 

budget.” 

We encourage you to vote YES on Issue #42.

HARTVILLE ELEM. 

CLASSROOM HAPPENINGS & EVENTS 

Third Grade News 

The Hartville Elementary third grade 

students have gotten off to a fantastic start this 

school year! Students are reviewing their 

phonemic awareness skills through the 

“Phonics Dance” and are participating in 

numerous listening activities during our “Brain 

Break!” For example, the game “Ships and 

Sailors” goes along with the skill of following 

directions. 

At the beginning of the school year the 

students are learning about citizenship and 

responsibilities. Hartville Elementary third 

graders are taking action and displaying great 

citizenship skills by helping others. They are 

advocates for the Ronald McDonald House of 

Charities. The students are making posters, 

performing skits, and reminding other students 

to SAVE their POP TABS! The pop tabs help 

the Ronald McDonald House Charities. 

Students are also learning about 

government jobs and roles, exploring science 

through numerous experiments, and are 

practicing their typing skills on the computer. 

In a few weeks, guest speakers will come in 

and talk to them about their roles in 

government. Students took part in the Oil Spill 

experiment. Let’s make it a great school year! 

Second Grade News 

The second grade classes at Hartville were 

introduced to the Scientific Method by “Saving 

Fred.” The students worked in groups following 

the Scientific Method steps to 1) Ask a 

question, 2) Make a hypothesis, 3) Complete the 

experiment, 4) Collect data, and 5) Show the 

results of what they learned. Each group was 

given a “boat” (cup), gummy worm (Fred), life 

preserver (life saver), and paper clips. They had 

to develop a strategy to save Fred, after he had 

capsized, using their materials without touching 

any of the tools 

except the paper 

clips. The 

second grade 

students 

discovered there 

were several 

different plans 

that worked to 

rescue Fred! 

The scientific method will be implemented by 

the students throughout September during an 

apple freshness test, button activity, a making 

colors experiment, a hard boiled or raw egg 

examination, and an ice cream making 

procedure. 

First Grade News 

The first graders at Hartville Elementary 

are diving into the first grade curriculum with 

enthusiasm and excitement! The students are 

excelling in reading, writing, math, science, 

and social studies. 

The first graders were excited to take the 

plunge into the reading curriculum with our 

leveled take-home book program, poetry 

notebooks, and word wall word activities. 

They also love singing songs from the word 

family songbook and learning new strategies 

at their instructional levels in guided reading! 

It’s amazing how much first graders have 

already learned in math. Skip counting, tally 

marks, calendar activities, and number stories 

are just a few of the first grade concepts we 

are working on. The students love working 

with math manipulatives in small groups to 

practice these first grade skills. 

In social studies, students have been 

engaged in learning about fairness, rules, and 

good citizenship. The students have been 

great examples for one another, showing 

excellent behavior and caring for their 

classmates each and every day. We also took 

time out to remember the tragically historic 

events that took place on September 11. 

Students wore red, white, and blue to school 

and learned about what happened on that day 

eleven years ago. We are proud to be citizens 

of the United States of America. 

In our next science unit, students will learn 

about needs and wants, as well as food 

sources. They can’t wait to learn about where 

different foods come from. We will be using 

apples as an example, learning about apple 

trees and Johnny Appleseed. Our unit will 

culminate with an apple party where we will 

celebrate our learning by making applesauce 

and other apple treats. 

In October, we look forward to hosting a 

variety of exciting activities including a 

firefighter presentation, Grandparents’ Day, 

and Halloween parties.

UNIONTOWN ELEM. 


News from 

Kindergarten 

The beginning of kindergarten was a success 

at Uniontown! All of the Kindergartners enjoyed 

playing in multi-sensory centers such as sorting, 

play-doh, puppet making, creating patterns, and 

building. 

News from First Grade 

It has been a fantastic start to the school 

year! The students are settling in to the first 

grade routine. The first graders harvested 

vegetables from the science garden that last 

years’ first graders planted. Several science 

garden volunteers helped the students pick the 

vegetables. The students worked in groups with 

science garden volunteers, Mrs. Sladen and Mrs. 

Stuyvesant, and parent volunteers, to chop the 

vegetables to make chili. Then, Mr. Kreitz, our 

custodian, used the chopped vegetables to 

prepare chili for the students to enjoy. Everyone 

really enjoyed this learning project! Thank you 

to Mr. Kreitz, Mrs. Sladen, Mrs. Stuyvesant, and 

all of the parent volunteers who made this project 

a success. 

First grade would 

like to welcome Mrs. 

Massa to our first grade 

teaching team. Mrs. 

Massa was a second 

grade teacher last year. 

We are very glad to have 

her in first grade. 

Mr. Kreitz and Mrs. Sladen help the first grade 

students harvest vegetables in the Science Garden 

to use to make chili. 

News from Second 

Grade 

The second grade teachers welcomed the 

following new students to our building: Carter 

Yarger, Abbey Hance, Brandon Hopkins and 

Brittney Walker. We are also excited to have 

Mrs. Mengeu and Mrs. Snodgrass join our 

second grade team this year. 

September was an eventful month for the 

second grade students. We started the year off 

with our “Have you Filled a Bucket?” program. 

The students learned how their kind words and 

actions make others feel good. In Social 

Studies we focused on the importance of 

following rules in our school, home and 

community. 

The students love going to our science 

garden for lessons. They have the opportunity 

to observe animals and plants in the science 

garden all year as they go through the seasons. 

The students have participated in simple 

experiments in the classroom and in the garden 

as they explore scientific inquiry. 

We look forward to the many changes that 

will occur in the next few months- changes in 

our science garden, changes in our presidency 

and changes as we learn new things! 

Welcome new second grade students! 

News from Third Grade 

We are so excited about the 2012-13 school 

year! Third grade started the year off with 

some new teachers. We would like to welcome 

Mrs. Galbraith, Mr. Groholy, and Mrs. Hudson. 

They are all fantastic teachers and wonderful 

additions to the third grade team. 

The third grade teachers worked very hard 

this summer to integrate the new Core 

Standards into our curriculum. We think the 

kids will be very excited about the many 

projects and activities we have planned for the 

year. It has been a busy start. We have already 

had our first guest speaker in to kick off our 

Social Studies Unit learning about local 

governments. The boys and girls enjoyed 

listening to Uniontown Trustee John Arnold 

speak about our government. 

It is going to be an exciting fun filled year 

full of many memorable experiences!

I am here at Lake Elementary to support 

student success in school and life. If there is 

a particular struggle your child(ren) is having 

at school or at home, please contact me and I 

will do my best to work through the concern 

with them. If I cannot provide the necessary 

help, I will find an agency or individual who 

can. The best way to refer your child(ren) to 

me is to call (330-877-4276) or email

school have been full of 

meeting new friends, learning 

new routines, and having a 

good time with learning. The 

fourth graders have made a wonderful 

transition to Lake Elementary! We are all

LAKE MIDDLE 


LMS Welcomes its New 

Students 

On Thursday, August 30, Lake Middle 

School hosted a delicious pizza lunch complete 

with vegetables, fruit, and dessert, made or 

brought in by the staff for all the students who 

are new to the district this year. Each of the 14 

new 6th graders, 13 new 7th graders, and 11 

new 8th graders was personally invited to eat 

with their teachers, administrators, and 

counselors as a way to become more familiar 

with the school and its staff as well as to find 

out that he or she is not alone in being new. 

Teachers and students also introduced 

themselves and shared a little bit about their 

educational background. This lunch was a 

great opportunity to welcome these students 

and help them feel more comfortable here at 

Lake Middle School. One teacher commented 

about this year’s new students, “It was hard to 

tell who was new because you all blended so 

wellparticipating 

and getting to 

know others.” 

So glad to 

have you as 

Blue Streaks! 

Rock ‘em this 

year! 

Magazine Subscriptions 

Fundraiser 

As a building, Lake Middle School does 

one fundraiser each year. This year they 

continued with the magazine subscriptions. 

Every student was encouraged to sell (or 

renew) at least one subscription. The official 

sale has ended, however, all are encouraged to 

go on-line to the middle school web page 

(lakelocal.org/ms) and click on the Great 

American link at the bottom of the page and 

order and / or renew a subscription if you 

haven’t done so already. LMS will get credit 

for this subscription. Magazines are a great 

way to promote and support reading for our 

children and a simple way for anyone to 

support our 

children at 

school. The 

monies 

raised go 

for a variety 

of things, 

such as 

Donny Berns, Kristin Bright, Kre'Sula supplies, 

technology, 

celebrations, and other things. Mr. Reed, 

principal at the middle school said, “This is a 

simple yet effective way for us to raise money 

to help out, we really appreciate the support we 

get from parents, family, and community 

members.” 

Lake Middle School Fall 

Sports 

Every year LMS has over 100 students 

participate in our fall sports (extra-curricular) 

activities. This is a shift for the 7th and 8th 

grade students who get to put on the Blue 

Streak uniform for the first time and begin 

representing not only their respective teams, 

but their school and even the community. 

Having so many students involved is just one 

of the positive things that LMS students 

participate in. Recent research suggests that 

participation in extracurricular activities may 

increase students' sense of engagement or 

attachment to their school, and thereby 

decrease the likelihood of school failure and 

dropping out 

(Lamborn et al, 

1992; Finn, 

1993). Lake 

Middle School 

is proud of all 

our students 

and their 

accomplishments 

and is 

encouraged 

once again for 

the successful fall sports teams. “Watching our 

young student athletes dedicate themselves to 

excellence both on and off the field is very 

encouraging,” Mr. Reed, Principal, LMS. 

LMS Gets Treated 

On Friday, September 7, Mr. Reed and 

Mrs. Lyberger treated students to a cool, 

refreshing treat of popsicles. The treat was in 

celebration of a great start to the 2012-2013 

school year and to help students cool off after a 

hot week.

LAKE HIGH SCHOOL 


Legal Studies Hosts 

Lake Votes 2012 

Lake High School’s Legal Studies and the 

Emmy nominated Interactive Media programs, 

in collaboration with the Lake Township 

Chamber of Commerce hosted a voter 

education venture 

to be uploaded to 

Lake TV, YouTube 

and 

lakechamber.com. 

In addition, the 

interviews will be 

available to 

access through 

Lake Local 

School District’s 

and Lake Twp. 

Chamber of 

Commerce’s 

Facebook and 

Twitter pages. 

This will allow voters to access the interviews 

on their own time schedules and watch them 

more than once if necessary. 

Additional partnerships with Mercy 

Medical Center and the Lake Township 

Historical Society were vital in directing and 

helping the Legal Studies students. Richard 

Regula of Mercy Medical came into the 

classroom to assist students in articulating the 

questions to be asked during the interview 

process, and the Historical Society is hosting 

Lake Votes 2012 in the One Room 

Schoolhouse, at the corner of Lake Center 

Street and King Church Avenue. 

Candidates running in the following 

elections were invited to participate in this 

event: 

Hartville Mayor 

Hartville Council 

Lake Township Trustee 

Lake Local Board of Education 

Canton Municipal Judge 

The event provides the community voters 

the opportunity to get to know the 

qualifications and goals, of each candidate as 

an elected official and a representative of their 

community; along with their views on current 

issues. 

This educational venture, called Lake 

Votes 2012, features interviews with each 

candidate conducted by senior Legal Studies 

students. Technical expertise 

was provided by Lake 

High School 

Interactive Media 

students. 

Lake High School 

Health Tech Prep 

The Lake High School Health Tech Prep 

class is off to another great start this year. The 

junior class has already learned a great deal of 

medical terminology and will soon be putting 

into practice the vital sign skills they learned 

when they assist the school nurse with Health 

Screenings during September and October. 

The senior class will also be assisting with 

these screenings. What 

a great way to get 

practical learning 

experience while also 

providing a much needed 

service to our community! 

The senior class attended 

their Mercy Health Center 

orientation at the beginning of 

September and are now job 

shadowing every Tuesday and Thursday 

afternoon in various health professions in the 

Hartville, Uniontown, Green and North 

Canton areas. These students will be working 

diligently all year to complete their portfolios 

in order to receive college credits for the 

course. 

Our first LifeShare Blood Drive of the 

year will be held on September 28 in the 

Performing Arts Hall. We are always so proud 

of the many students at Lake HS who 

selflessly donate much needed blood. 

We would like to thank all the local 

businesses who have graciously allowed our 

students to shadow in their facilities. It is truly 

a wonderful experience for these future health 

professionals to have as they work towards 

graduation, a college education, and eventually 

a career in the medical fields. 

Lake High School 

Spanish Club 

The Lake High School Spanish Club has 

already begun. With their first meeting on the 

12th of September, they have already voted on 

representatives and made other important 

decisions. As in years past, there are four 

members who lead the Spanish Club. The 

President, Vice-President, Secretary, and 

Treasurer are Robyn King, Lauren Wheeler, 

Connor McKenney, and Tyler Milam. The 

Club will be getting together within the 

coming weeks. There is still room in the club, 

for those interested. Representatives have 

already promised a more active and involved 

year for the Spanish club. 


FINE ARTS 

Artists at Hartville Go 

Cave Exploring! 

Artists in Miss Stegner and Mrs. Susa’s first 

grade classes set out on a journey of artistic 

exploration. Students took a journey of the 

imagination as the art room was turned into a 

cave! Students used a flashlight to locate cave art 

on the walls and ceiling of the art room as cave 

sounds played in the background. Students 

learned that cave art, painted on the rocky interior 

cave surfaces are the earliest and oldest forms of 

art yet discovered. They discussed the art word, 

TEXTURE, learning to discriminate between 

surfaces that 

are rough and 

bumpy, 

slippery and 

smooth, and 

sharp or 

prickly. 

Students 

learned to 

identify 

symbols and animals that cavemen and women 

saw in their natural environment (horses, 

handprints, bison, deer, and animal tracks) and 

how these images were transferred to the walls of 

the caves using animal tails, sticks, and their own 

fingers for brushes. Students discovered that 

because many of everyday products were not 

invented in prehistoric times, cave dwellers had 

to rely on the environment for everything 

including food and shelter. Because paint was 

not invented, cave people used mud, clay, and 

ground berries to create the natural colored 

pigments with which they painted. Students were 

engaged and motivated by the opportunity to use 

their fingers, twigs, charcoal, and oil pastels to 

create their own symbolic cave art. Students 

learned about the neutral colors, texture, scale, 

and symbols in this art lesson. Technology also 

played a large role in our exploration of the caves 

as students were able to take an amazing virtual 

tour of some of the most famous cave paintings 

in the world, those of Lascaux in France! 

Check out the tour at:

Lake Elementary Hosts Traveling Art Exhibit: 

ART BEYOND BORDERS 

Little artists at Lake and Hartville Elementary observed and explored a new traveling exhibit, Art 

Beyond Borders. The exhibit, hosted and sponsored by the collaboration of Lake Local Schools and, 

non-profit community organization, Arts In Stark, was admired and analyzed by students for two 

weeks. The display featured twenty-four artists from twenty-four different countries who were pulled 

together in this collection to help promote art as our universal language. As teachers, our hope is that 

students will begin to discover how we all have something in common: the desire to express ourselves 

with art. Our year-long art partnership with Arts in Stark will help raise student awareness of the 

imperative roll the arts play in all aspects of education and our daily lives. 

As we begin to investigate and understand how art defies the hands of time, and the barriers of 

language and economics, we look forward to many more delightful art engagements throughout the 

year. Uniquely tailored to inspire and communicate acceptance, our upcoming, featured events will 

cultivate an atmosphere of peace and understanding among students and our community as a whole.

ATHLETIC NEWS 

Volleyball: 

The Lady Streak volleyball teams are strong 

contenders again this season in the Federal League. 

Our varsity team has a great mix of veteran and young, 

but skilled student-athletes. The JV squad and 

freshmen team are also playing quite well with the 

Middle School teams (4 squads) setting their sights on 

successful season. 

Starting in early October, all of the teams will be 

preparing for tournament play. Again this season, the 

Girls OHSAA Division I Volleyball Sectional/District 

will be hosted by Lake High School. The dates of the 

tournament will be October 15-25; specific dates for 

the Lake HS matches will be posted on the LLSD 

website as well as in the local print media. 

Football: 

Our football teams continue to play at a high level 

of intensity and show much improvement. This fall, 

there are over 110 boys on the high school teams 

(Varsity, JV and 9th grade) which bodes well for future 

successes. In October, the Streaks will host pre-season 

Federal League favorite, GlenOak, in our 

Homecoming game. A great crowd will be expected 

as the team pushes forward for an OHSAA play-off 

spot. 

Boys Soccer: 

This year’s team faced one of the toughest early 

season schedules in the history of the boys’ soccer 

program at Lake High School. The varsity team went 

up against some of Ohio’s best programs in their first 

four games and battled right down to the wire in each 

contest. As the second half of the season unfolds, look 

for this group to really play well as the early-season 

challenges should begin to pay off. The boys’ JV and 

9th grade teams have been playing very well which 

indicates greater success for the future. 

The Streaks hope to make another strong run in 

the OHSAA tournament which will begin the latter 

part of October. Follow the latest news on the team 

via the LLSD website. 

Girls Golf: 

The Lady Streaks fielded one of their youngest 

teams this fall with several players in their first year of 

competition. However, the team has shown 

tremendous growth. For the first time in several 

seasons, the Girls Golf program is providing a JV 

program as over a dozen girls have shown involvement 

in the program. 

The first week of October will see the girls in 

action during the OHSAA Sectional tournament which 

will be played at Turkeyfoot Golf Course. 

Cross-Country: 

The Boys and Girls cross-country teams are 

“burning the courses” early in the season and are 

looking for an even stronger finish this fall. Over the 

first half of their respective seasons, the teams have 

finished strong in all meets with several student- 

athletes running personal best times. The boys’ team 

has finished in the top two of their first three meets, 

winning the Claymont and the Dover Invitationals. 

The girls’ team has solidly finished in the top four of 

every meet they’ve entered this season. 

The Federal League meet will be held at Perry on 

October 13th. The OHSAA District meet will be held 

at Malone University on Saturday, October 20th. Go 

Blue Streak runners! 

Girls Soccer: 

The Blue Streak girls soccer team is off to another 

great start! Both the varsity and JV teams are playing 

very solidly this season. The challenges get greater for 

the team during the back half of the season and the 

team and coaches are committed to making advances 

at the District tournament level this season. There is a 

good balance of veterans and youth on this team and 

the “best days” are still ahead for these teams. 

Boys Golf: 

This year’s Boys’ golf team gradually built 

momentum making a run at the Federal League 

championship; the post-season Federal League 

tournament was held on September 29. The OHSAA 

Sectional golf tournament was held on October 2nd at 

Seven Hills Golf Club (no results at time of print). 

The Streaks were hoping to place high enough to send 

the team or individuals to Columbus later this month 

for the state championships. Good luck “linksters”!

ORCHESTRA NEWS 

Orchestra News 

By Rachel Lingenhoel and Carly Hunter, 

members of the High School Orchestra. 

The Lake Orchestra Program is 

happy to start out another exciting year 

of performances and competitions! As a 

school program, we strive to not only 

improve the musical abilities of the 

students, but to bring music to the 

community. All concerts are free and 

open to the public; your attendance is 

always appreciated! 

Upcoming concerts include the 7th 

and 8th Grade orchestras Fall Concert 

on Tuesday, October 16th. This 

performance provides an opportunity for 

our students to perform with the string 

students from North Canton Middle School. Each year we trade being the host school with North 

Canton; this year we will be welcoming those students to perform here, in our Performing Arts 

Hall. The concert will begin at 7:00 P.M. and will include a total of six pieces. The Lake and 

North Canton orchestras will each play two pieces. Then, the two orchestras will combine to play 

the final two selections together. This has been a tradition for over a decade; we would love for you 

to come out and support the students. 

Looking ahead, we will have Holiday Concerts performed by each group. The High School 

Orchestra will perform on Thursday, November 29th. The 5th and 6th graders will proudly play 

their holiday best on Tuesday, December 4th. We will wrap up our festive concerts with the 7th and 

8th Grade Orchestras on Thursday, December 13th. The concerts will include traditional, popular 

and holiday pieces as well as movie soundtracks. All the concerts begin at 7:00 P.M. and will take 

place in the Lake Community Performing Arts Hall.

Kindergarten News 

The school year is off to a wonderful start in the Hartville Elementary Kindergarten 

classrooms! Students enjoyed the book The Kissing Hand, which deals with the transition from 

home to school, and many fun activities to go along 

with the story, including games, art, and a special 

snack! Many thanks go out to our Hartville PTO 

volunteers who assisted with Kindergarten screening 

and in helping the Kindergarten students find their 

way to their classrooms on throughout the first week 

of school. 

The boys and girls have adjusted well to the 

routines of the school day. They are able to manage 

their BEE (Bring Everything Everyday) books, to go 

through the lunch line using the keypad, and find 

their bus. The students are already developing new 

literacy skills, such as an understanding of the words “character” and “setting” and learning our 

Kindergarten “popcorn words” (so named because they keep ‘popping up’ in the books we 

read!). Math skills such as counting and sorting are practiced using hands on manipulatives as 

well as the smartboards. 

Just for fun, the Hartville PTO sponsored a 

“Slushy Day”. The boys and girls really enjoyed 

this cool treat to end a very warm week! Students 

were also excited to participate in the PTO “Read, 

Move, and Groove” fundraiser. Thank you to all of 

our Hartville families for your support! 

To wrap up an already busy month, the 

Kindergarteners will enjoy a bushel of apple 

activities. Stories, songs, poems, sorting, pattering, 

graphing, and taste tests, as well as cooking, will 

create academic experiences and opportunities that 

are engaging and exciting for our young learners.
