In years past, Lakeview faculty and staff have always tried to provide the graduates with a unique and special celebration marking the end of elementary school and the beginning of high school. This celebration has included a variety of different activities including trips out of town, Great America etc. For several years now, students have spent the day at Great America and then had a nighttime dance at local restaurant. As most of you know this is not a unique opportunity for our students as they frequently visit this amusement park on their own time.
Last year, under the direction of the Board of Education, we surveyed surrounding area schools to see how they celebrate this exciting time of the year. The results were vast! (Some districts have no celebration at all and that is not the direction we would like to go.)
On Tuesday, students were asked to give their input into the selection of a unique and special celebration. They were give three options: Odyssey Boat Trip and Dance, North Beach Club and Dance or Great America and a Dance. Each option was explained and questions answered prior to giving input.
Overwhelmingly, the eighth grade class was in favor of the Odyssey Boat Trip and Dance! The details have not been finalized yet, but we foresee this as a great day spent on the Odyssey with friends cruising Lake Michigan. While on board, students will have a dance with a DJ, unlimited food and a great “adult” opportunity.
The results of the survey will be shared with the Board of Education later next month as we move along with our planning for the May / June events.
