My name is Lauren Akesson and I am the school counselor here at Palm Lake. This is my 11th year here, and I am proud to work at such a wonderful school where Kindness is the Heart of our school. I teach monthly guidance lessons for all grade levels, provide small group, as well as individual support for students.

I am also the sponsor of many wonderful programs to help our students learn and build good character like Kids Who Care, Mighty Mentor Program, Kindness Matters Club, Character Club and National Elementary Honor Society.

If you would like to volunteer to help with any of these programs, please contact me via ParentSquare, email -  lauren.akesson@ocps.net or call 407-354-2610 x 3722225

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and please continue to support our amazing PTA with this years Fundraiser.

See you on Monday Bobcats!

-Mrs. Akesson

Thank you to everyone who came out for Spirit Night! We had such a wonderful time even with the "showers" it was fun to see you all and some of our Teachers too!

*We are closing in on 40% of our goal.

 

*When we get to 50%, Billy and Stitch have agreed to release a dance party video. 

*Funds needed for important programs such as AR reading, teacher grade level grants, support of teacher/staff appreciation, family events including movie nights, dances & the spring carnival as well as the refurbishment and maintenance of our Nature Trail including our outdoor classroom. (The area is in need of repair) This will be a unique asset to student learning including the outdoor classroom.

*Kids fundraising ideas: lemonade stand, popsicle stand, garage sales, make & sell homemade items like jewelry, slime, bookmarks, etc. Use your creative minds! 

*Adults: don't forget to check with your place of work for employee matching programs.

We are looking forward to a wonderful fundraiser week with more adventures of Billy & Stitch - Thank you so much for your incredible support! Be sure to register your students fundraiser accounts so that they can be entered in the drawing for the weekly prizes next Friday.
