Look at the community doing their thing!! These Lakesiders are so lucky to have this kind of support. Only 22 left to go!! "Good morning, everyone! Our very own JWHS Lakeside Singers have been selected to perform the National Anthem at a Kansas City Royals game on May 28th, but they need your help! The only requirement is that they must sell 200 tickets; our current total is 178 tickets! They are at a discounted price and start at $20. The required number of tickets must be sold by TOMORROW, Friday, April 18th. Even if you can't make it to the game, think of it like a GoFundMe and "donate" to the cause.
