As we wrapped up Thanksgiving break, it's important that I share with you how thankful we are to have your trust and support each day as we educate your children. Lakeview is an amazing place, and it wouldn't be as amazing without our supportive families!
As the weather turns cold, please be sure to send your child with warm clothes. We make every effort to go outside for recess when temps are above 0. Anything below zero (including the windchill) we will be indoors. Our recess expectations require students to have boots, snowpants, hat and gloves to be in the snow piles. We do have "loaner" boots and snowpants for emergency needs, but if you need long-term gear, please give us a call in the office and we will do our best to get your child what they need.
Holiday Activities!
- 4K-5 Concerts: Our 4K-5 students have been practicing for their upcoming holiday concerts! Grades K-5 concerts will be on Friday, December 13. The K-2 concert will start at 10am and the 3-5 concert will start at 1:45pm. The 4k concert is sheduled for Wednesday, December 18 at 2pm. All concerts are held at Lakeview and a link to view the livestream will be sent out the day of the event. Families are welcome to come in-person to the concert. Any families bringing more than 4 spectators, please notify the office so we can make sure we have appropriate number of seats prepared.
- 5th Grade Choir: The combined 5th grade choir has two performances on Tuesday, December 17. Both performances are at the high school. The first performance is at 1:30pm for all students in grades 3-5 and the second performance for families is at 7pm.
- Christmas Corner: This is a long-standing Lakeview tradition that is a super fun day for the kids! Students will be coming home soon with a note that explains Christmas Corner in more detail. Basically, students can shop for gifts in the gym for their family. Gifts are limited to 4 per student. The gifts are priced inexpensively, usually between 50 cents and $4.00. Once they choose and pay for their gifts, volunteers help wrap the gifts so they can surprise their family at home. If students do not bring money that day, PTA or an anonymous donor usually covers those students. Students are asked to bring 4 tags already filled out with whom they are buying for, along with money in a zip lock bag with the student’s name on it.
As always, I want to thank you for partnering with us to support your child academically and social-emotionally, and if you ever have any questions about our day-to-day operations or outside of school activities, please ask. Thanks for your support of our awesome school!

They will learn the basic skills of our high school wrestling program becoming comfortable with the techniques in our practice settings. There is minimal if any competition with this group. They are strictly learning the techniques so they can become confident when it comes time to compete.

This group will start on Dec 2 and will run until Winter Break. The students in grades 6-8 should be signed up for the Middle School program .
