Alumni Fundraiser Cruise To Bermuda
The Lake Clifton Alumni Association thanks all alumni who are traveling with us
on our first cruise as a fundraiser to raise scholarship funds. Our cruise to
Bermuda will occur this Saturday November 12, 2011. Alumni will be supporting
our Ravens on Sunday as well as honoring our alma mata by wearing blue and
gold for our special “Laker” activity on the ship.
LCAA Fundraisers For 2012 and 2013
As the fundraising committee meets and plans future fundraising events, we
need your help. We would like to hold events that our alumni body and friends
would support. What we need are your ideas of activities that you would support.
Until we start to receive grants, our sources of revenue are memberships
purchased, fundraisers and donations. Our fundraising goals are to hold the
most cost efficient ventures that will maximize the funds raised so that we can
continue to provide scholarship assistance, beautify our campus and cover our
operating costs. Ideas submitted so far are:
1. Raffle
2. Trip to Disney (Florida)
3. Ski Trip
4. Trip to Foxwoods Resort (Connecticut)
5. Shopping Trip
6. Atlantic City Bus Trip
7. Prayer Breakfast
8. Gospel Festival
9. Cruise in 2013 (Destination is open)
10. Old School Dance
The LCAA is also researching hosting an all class reunion next year. Many class
years have not had reunions due to various reasons and have expressed an
interest in this type of venture. Seven years ago the LCAA hosted this type of
event and it was supported by twelve different class years. This event is not
meant to detract from any individualized graduating class reunion but to give
classes an opportunity that may not be able to host their own class reunion due
to cost factors. Many other schools such as City, Dunbar, Eastern, and Western
are currently having them. The LCAA assists and patronizes all know class
reunions as a way to continue to make the community aware that there is an
organization in place to continue the history of Lake Clifton, Lake Clifton-Eastern,
Doris Johnson, Heritage High and The Reach Partnership School at the Lake
Clifton Campus.
Please take a minute and reply to any of the above ideas that you might support
or send your suggestions of fundraiser’s that you would patronize or comments
to our business manager Akkra Tucker at atucker56@msn.com .

School News at the "Lake"
Acting Principal Stephanie Farmer (Heritage High) is now working with the staff
to improve their program and climate for academic excellence. Heritage also has
AP or advanced placement courses which really put students ahead
academically. In addition we now have The Reach Academy - Middle/High
School at the campus. Reach under the leadership of Principal Michael Frederick
is Reach is housed in the C&D wing of the school. That wing underwent 3.5
million dollars of renovations to refurbish the old shop areas to accommodate the
new technical trades offered by Reach. This program offers programs in
construction trades as well as the health fields. In addition other interior areas as
well as the parking lot areas were also improved. The LCAA wishes success to
all of our students, staff and principals of the “Lake” Complex Heritage High and
Reach Partnership. With the addition of Reach, The “Lake” Campus schools offer
a variety of career paths that offer community youth a diverse choice to further
their education and make the “Lake” Campus a desirable location for students
throughout the city for them to attend. All citywide schools now compete for the
opportunity to provide youth with a quality education and competitive programs.
