Lakeview Lions Update - January 30, 2026

Dear Lakeview Families,

Kids Heart Challenge 2026 has officially kicked off! Sign up TODAY at http://www2.heart.org/goto/LakeviewElementary. Let’s promote healthy & happy hearts while raising donations for the American Heart Association to fight America’s #1 and #4 killers, heart disease and stroke! Our school can also earn funding and PE equipment along the way! Take a look at the attachments for more information! 

Goals & Celebrations:

The first class with 100% AND The class with the most Finns Missions get an invite to a popsicle party!!

I have accepted the PRINCIPALS CHALLENGE! Once we get 220 students signed up for Kids Heart Challenge, that’s about half the school, we will earn $500 to spend on our playground! To celebrate, everyone can dress up as their favorite heart hero pup or their color, and I will come to school in an inflatable dog costume, just like this year’s Heart Heroes!!

Finn’s Mission Fridays! Complete Finn’s Mission before each Friday (until February 27th) to be honored with your superhero cape at a caping ceremony during RECESS!

3 Things to do TODAY!

  • Download the AHA Schools app
  • Give or Get a Donation! SEND 5 texts or emails to friends & family asking for support
  • Start Finn’s Mission where students become lifesavers by learning Hands-Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke.

 

Great Kindness Campaign Update - Our students participated in different activities to spread kindness this week. Families are invited to continue the challenge at home with the attached checklists! Make it a fun challenge between siblings and neighbors. We also have STAFF SHOUTOUTS in the office. When you’re stopping in to volunteer or turn in paperwork, write a kind note to a staff member to help make their day a great one!
