Laker Nation is sad to learn of the passing of Herb Kerns, a former Lakeland bus driver. Herb was my bus driver a long time ago! I remember when he took us for a little ice cream cone on the last day of school. I believe it was at the A & W, which is long gone! Our condolences go out to his family; he touched many lives in Laker Nation! https://www.fruripmayfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Herbert-R-Herb-Kerns?obId=28832821&source=fb1&fbclid=IwAR07m01HCylbNfRVErr0Q8R9oI-aQZMAHDA5Kgzr0-zRQIfE7k8QEHz5-Hg

Laker Nation is sad to learn of the passing of Greg Warner. Mr. Warner was a long time mechanic for Lakeland's Transportation Department. He played an important role in keeping students safe! Our thoughts go out to his family during their time of mourning.

Lakeland Jr/Sr High will have Virtual Learning on Wednesday and Thursday due to the extreme heat. Unfortunately, our construction project focused on HVAC , is not to the point of being able to cool the school. Jr/Sr High families please check your email for further information. This will NOT impact student in preK-6th grade!

Lakeland School Corporation is back online! Whew! Thank you for your patience during our tech outage.

Laker Nation: we have had a switch malfunction which has taken our network down. This means phones are not working, along with many other items. We hope to have it fixed by the morning, but can't be sure of that at this point. We may be teaching a little bit "old school" tomorrow!

It was great to have our buildings full of life again! Morning drop off saw more traffic than ever, which caused some issues at the 4 way stop by Jr/Sr. We've asked for officer assistance there tomorrow to help it run better. Dismissal ran later than we wanted, but not as late as last year! Both morning an afternoon processes will get better as we go along. We're looking forward to a great year! Thank you for being a Laker!

Laker Nation is sad to learn of the passing of Mr. Ben Helmuth. Mr. Helmuth spent 32 years at Lakeland taking care of our buildings and grounds. He is remembered as a very kind man with high standards. Our condolences go out to his family!
