To recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, the Lakeshore Principal's Office will be hosting a Tote + Paint workshop on May 30. Registrants are invited to stop by the G Commons anytime between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to paint their very own tote bag with the support of host and facilitator, Yelena Mensah.
