Lake Virtual

Congratulations to all students who participated in the Daughters of the American Revolution's Scholarship Ceremony in Clermont on Friday, Feb. 6. All winners receive a certificate, pin or medal, and a cash scholarship. The Outstanding American History Student award went to Emily Aldridge-Legg of Lincoln Park Education Center, Anabel Marie Singh of East Ridge High School, Quinn Nicholson of South Lake High School, and Kaiden Rausch of Lake Virtual School. These students were selected by their school's Social Science Department for high achievement in American History. The Good Citizen Award went to Lukas William-Hill of South Lake High, Emily Due Edwards of Lake Minneola High, Caitlyn Diane Purdy of Lake Virtual, and Primrose Kiki-Charles of East Ridge High. This award celebrates young people who exhibit the qualities of good citizenship -- dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. They will go on to compete at the state and national level for additional honors and scholarships.

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune condition causing the destruction of the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. This means the body can’t control blood sugar (glucose) on its own. Without management of high blood glucose levels, over time it can lead to serious and life-threatening health complications.
