William T. Hoag Educational Center

UPK is on the move! Special thanks to Mrs. Rocque for making arrangements at JTW.

CELEBRATING OUR UPK TEACHERS AT W.T. HOAG 🦅

Our UPK teachers and staff at the W.T. Hoag Educational Center are the very first to welcome many of our youngest learners into the Lake Shore community. They do an incredible job of creating a space where four-year-olds feel safe to explore, play, and start their journey in our schools. It takes a special kind of patience and energy to guide our littlest students through their first school experiences, and our UPK team makes it look easy every single day.

We are so lucky to have such a dedicated group helping our students build confidence and curiosity right from the start. They aren't just teaching the basics; they are making sure our students love coming to school.

Please join us this week in saying a huge thank you to our UPK educators for the heart they pour into our classrooms and the great start they provide for our families. 💚

🦅 BATTLE OF THE BIRDS: THE GLOVES (AND THE HAIR) ARE COMING OFF! 🦅

Lake Shore, we have a situation! 🚨

We are officially in a friendly—but fierce—Bald for Bucks competition with the North Collins Eagles, and right now, they are absolutely crushing it at the top of the leaderboard.

While our Lake Shore B4B 2026 team has been fighting hard to climb out of the basement and into 8th place, we are still trailing North Collins by over $14,000! 📉 We have 2 1/2 weeks to make a massive comeback and prove that while they might be Eagles too, Lake Shore has the biggest heart

This movement is part of our DNA. It started right here in Lake Shore back in 2002 with Tony George, making us the true headquarters of this mission. It's time to defend our home turf! 🛡️

Think you have to shave your head to join the team? Think again! 💇‍♂️ You can support the cause by going fully bald, cutting your hair for donation, or even just adding a single streak of color to show your support. If you want to keep your hair exactly as it is, you can still join the team to help us raise funds or simply make a donation to help us leapfrog North Collins! 💰

Every single dollar stays local to support the life-saving work at Roswell Park. Let’s show North Collins what Lake Shore pride actually looks like! 🦅💪
