Lakeview Lecture
December Edition
From the Principal...
November is always one of those months that flies right by, but December often slips by even quicker! Students and staff have been working really hard and I'm excited to see the growth on the upcoming mid-year academic assessments! The new programming and structures to our day took a little "getting used to" but have now become business as usual, and the gains we are seeing in Reading are substantial. Outside of the general curricular areas, students have been highly engaged within Art, Music, PE, and Project Lead the Way and are preparing for the upcoming holiday concerts!
Below are some things to keep on your radar:
- Winter Clothes and Recess! One of our playground expectations for all students is that students must have snowpants and boots to play in the snow. We have limited extras to provide for students, so please make sure your child has what they need to be outside and stay warm. We make every attempt to get out each day, but we stay indoors when it is below zero.
- The November Craft night was such a big hit, we chose to sneak another one in before holiday break. Monday Dec 11 will be "Crafts and Cocoa Night" from 5:30-6:30pm.
- Holiday Concerts! December 12 is 5th grade choir, December 14 is 4k, and Dec 15 are the K-5 Holiday concerts. (Specific times are below)
- Christmas Corner! Christmas corner is a PTA sponsored event where students get the opportunity to "shop" for gifts for family. Gifts are limited to 4 per student, and are priced inexpensively, no higher than $4 each. Volunteers help wrap the gifts so they can surprise their family at home. The event is scheduled duirng the school day on Wednesday, December 20. (More information will be coming home with students in the next week.)
As always, thank you for partnering with us to provide a great educational experience for your child! If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.
