Featured Story: 15,000 Eggs Filled
Posted on 12/30/2023
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 19th 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 87 Shorians (49 from LSHS, 38 from KMS) were eager to help. Campbell brought with him Firefighters Cosette Wojciechowski, Andrew Somes, and Joshua Belfry.
Eighth graders Isaac Castle and Mason Merten were so egg-cited to help because the task was a cool idea and therapeutic for them. They chose to stuff $3 in an egg just for the fun of it.
Senior Teressa Leahy gained service hours. She said, "I had a good time putting the eggs together for the second year. I love putting smiles on kids' faces. It is fun for us and equally as enjoyable for them."
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 won’t 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, “Never in my 17 years of organizing this event have I had such a smooth, positive, and enjoyable experience setting up for the best 3 minutes of Easter a kid can have! I am so very grateful to you all and to your exceptional students for being a part of this. We take an oath as public servants and dedicate our lives to this community, so interacting with the youth that will lead this great city is the best public service we can ask for! I can’t wait to run it back with you all next year!”
