Dearest Lakesiders,
Welcome to Tatler’s newest special issue! After the success of our first special issue of the year, we were motivated to go back to the drawing board for this new spring edition. As Lakeside grapples with both overt long-term changes and more subtle movements, Tatler staff members voted to center this special issue around the theme of “Lakeside in Motion.” From an examination of a controversial Middle School grading policy to Lakeside’s administrative transition, from politics at the school to the newly-constructed Vassar Center, the articles in this special issue represent a variety of perspectives, timelines, and topics relevant to the Lakeside community.
It has been my utmost pleasure to serve as your Managing Editor for the 2025-26 school year, and I sincerely hope you will enjoy reading my final Tatler special issue as much as I enjoyed producing it.
Signing off,
Sachi T. ’26
