Dear Lakeview Families,
Thank you to all our parents who have been volunteering in class, completing prep work for all the fun holiday crafts, and for supporting the events we have planned this month. This is a fun time of year filled with exciting activities and traditions. Personally, I am looking forward to a new twist to our Holiday Craft with the Principal! As a Gift of Time to each of our teachers, your child will get to experience a LEGO engineering workshop with me!
Today, November Lions of the Month were recognized in the Office with a presentation of an award and sparkle pencil. I cherish this time to talk with each Lion about what their award represents and how proud I am that they help make Lakeview such a fabulous place to learn. Pictures of our ROARing Lions will be shared on our school Instagram @lakeviewpylusd.
Please read on for important information and updates:
