Mascot

At the end of the year, the Student Council purchased a Lakeview Spartan Mascot Costume. Next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday students will be able to try-out to be the Spartan at home basketball games. This idea originated during our Strategic Planning last year and Student Council thought it was a great one! Students wishing to try-out to be the mascot need to sign up in the locker rooms. Try-outs will be from 3-4 p.m. on October 23 &24th. Go Spartans!

Eighth Grade Explore Test

Tomorrow, October 16, 2007, the eighth graders will be taking the Explore Test. The Explore Test is used by Downers Grove South High School to make placement decisions. The test will be administered at Lakeview by the eighth grade teachers. Testing will occur during periods one through four (8:12 – 11:01 a.m.). Please make sure your student is well rested and has a good breakfast tomorrow.

Mid-Term Progress Reports

Today marks the mid-term point of the trimester! If you have not done so already, I encourage you to use Parent Connect to check your child’s grades online. If you are having difficulty with Parent Connect please contact the office and we would be glad to assist you in this matter. Students who are ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities due to one or more “F” grades will receive official notification via the US Mail in the next few days.

Share Your Soles Athletic Shoe Drive

Lakeview students will be participating in a community service project in Homebase starting on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. The project, in conjunction with Willowbrook Athletico and One World Running, will be collecting Athletic / Gym shoes (in any condition). The shoe drive will run from October 9 through October 16th. The donated shoes will be given to those less fortunate as well as using the soles of shoes for various recycling projects. Students may bring shoes to their Homebase rooms and put them in the collection areas.

Picture Re-Take Day

Lakeview’s Picture Re-Take Day has been scheduled for October 15th. Re-takes will begin promptly at 8:15 a.m. If your child was absent on picture day or would like a re-take they will be taking pictures on October 15th. Any student wishing a re-take must turn in their original picture packet at the time of re-takes.

The Lakeview Kentucky Derby is on!!!

The district magazine drive ended today and the Lakeview student body has something to be proud about! Their goal was to sell 900 subscriptions this year. They not only met their goal but exceeded it as well! Way to go Lakeview! The Lakeview students sold 1089 subscriptions!!! Wow, Impressive! They will be rewarded in November with our very own version of the Kentucky Derby! Thank you to all of the parents, family members and neighbors who helped to support our sale.
