This is the image for the news article titled P2 of the Week: PrudenceThis week, under our districtwide Positivity Project, we focus on the character strength of prudence: planning for the future and making careful choices to reach goals.

At Lake Shore Public Schools, we’re also celebrating School Board Recognition Month alongside 537 local and 56 intermediate districts across Michigan! Our school board members serve as the vital link between community and classroom, making thoughtful, prudent decisions to support student success.

“In another year full of challenges for public education, our school board members persevered through the adversity of 2025 to provide the best possible education for our students,” says Superintendent Dr. DiPonio.

Our Board of Education includes:
President: Kurt Ziegler
Vice President: Susan DeLong
Secretary: Elizabeth Munger
Treasurer: Amy Thomas-August
Trustees: Kenneth Gulock, Wendy Tobias, Amber Hildebrand

✨ Join us in celebrating these extraordinary leaders at our next board meeting:
Monday, January 26 | 6:30 PM | Lake Shore Administration Offices at 23055 Masonic Blvd.

School board members:
-Create a vision to prioritize student achievement
-Set standards for what students learn
-Track progress and ensure accountability
-Align district resources for optimal impact
-Foster a safe, supportive learning environment
-Collaborate to solve challenges and celebrate successes
-Continuously improve for student success

No matter the challenges ahead, our board will continue to guide Lake Shore Public Schools toward exceptional education for all children. We’ve shown our appreciation with student deliveries, building-level gifts, and a special dinner this month.

Bonus:  Lake Shore had the honor of hosting the Macomb County School Board Association dinner this past December, welcoming Board Members from 17 districts across the county. A huge thank-you to our incredible Lake Shore Food Service team for providing the delicious meal!

Teaching students about all 24 character strengths builds self-awareness, genuine confidence, and an #OtherPeopleMatter mindset.
