Lakeview Lion Updates: January 27, 2023

Dear Lakeview Families,

Thank you to the many families who joined our community at opening night of Mary Poppins Jr! Prior to opening the play, I went backstage with my daughter Elton to see all our fabulous students decked out in costumes and makeup. Wow - I didn’t recognize half of them! We stayed in the foyer while Elton danced around and enjoyed listening to the first few songs. I can’t wait to come back Saturday night with my son, Easten. There is still time to purchase tickets for tonight or tomorrow HERE. Taco dinners available for purchase starting at 5pm. The play begins at 6pm with a 15 minute intermission.

Save the date: Dining with Lakeview Fundraiser @ Blaze Pizza, Feb 1
Make dinner easy by letting Blaze Pizza feed your family and a portion of your proceeds will come straight back to Lakeview to help support the fabulous programs, activities, and field trips. See the attached flyer.
