Lakeview Lion Updates: February 3, 2023

Dear Lakeview Families,

What a great wrap up of Kindness Month and a natural transition to the kickoff of our Kids Heart Challenge! We already have 37 students who have taken the Kindness Pledge and 43 students who have taken the Movement Pledge. We are 40% on our way to our school-wide goal of $10,000 of donations that go straight to the American Heart Association to support researchers, scientists and medical professionals as they seek new ways to help keep our hearts healthy! Additionally, Lakeview receives a give-back to be used on PE/Recess equipment for each donation. Congratulations to Daniel, Jenna and Charlotte who have already completed Finn’s Mission! All thank you prizes will be given on Mondays and Tuesdays at recess. The class with the most amount of participants win a free recess and the teacher gets an Amazon gift card…so far, Mr. Burns’ class is in the lead! Attached is the parent letter that already went home.

Thank you to all our families who made it out to Blaze Pizza for our Dining with Lakeview!

We need YOU!
PTA is still in need of some key positions in order for events like our Restaurant Fundraisers, Jog a thon, Trunk or Treat and the beloved Play! If you are interested in learning more about how to sustain these events and help ensure our PTA funds do not get frozen - reach out directly to Mrs. Given at [email protected]!
