Featured Story: 15,000 Eggs, 77 Shorians, and One Hopping Community Tradition!
Posted on 12/30/2023
๐ฐ In partnership with the Saint Clair Shores Fire Department, Lake Shore Public Schools' National Honor Society from Lake Shore High School and National Junior Honor Society from Kennedy Middle School filled eggs in preparation for the annual Easter Egg Hunt held on Saturday, April 4th at Blossom Heath Park. The event begins at noon.
Fire Lt. Scott Campbell reached out to Lake Shore for assistance in filling these eggs and 77 Shorians (33 from LSHS, 44 from KMS) were eager to help. Campbell brought with him Firefighter Travis Sparling to assist.
Some of our middle school students recently helped bring a little extra magic to an Easter egg hunt by filling special Golden Eggs with surprises beyond just candy.
๐ Haylee Livings added $4.
๐ Hannah Livings added $1.
๐ Addi Probert added spare change.
๐ Aubrey Regnerus added $20.
Many shared memories of how special it felt to discover a golden egg when they were youngerโone student even remembered finding several and being so happy they started crying (happy tears!) at just 6 years old!
With help from students like LSHS Seniors D'Varon Galloway and Tyler Pettway, these eggs will bring that same excitement to younger children while earning service hours and spreading joy in the community.
Children of all ages can bring their baskets to fill with eggs while parents cheer them on. Then, visit our special guest, the Easter Bunny, for a great family picture!
This fun-filled event is sponsored by the SCS Firefighters Union, Local 1744, in cooperation with the city Parks & Recreation Department. You wonโt want to miss this hopping event!
Thank you, Shorian Nation, for packing 15,000 eggs with delicious treats for the anticipated 450 expert egg collectors to enjoy! We also appreciate the Fire Department's pizza delivery today for all student-helpers.

Campbell wrote, โThe enthusiasm and effort of your student scholars is exceptional, and is a direct byproduct of the leadership example set for them by their coordinators. Finding a group of students that are not only willing, but enjoy, serving the community is a unicorn of rarity. I am grateful to you for setting our event up for success and bringing out the very best in public outreach programs for this union. Shorian pride is to be commended and we at SCSFD are so very proud to have such exceptional partners in service."
