Science Fair 2026 is on its way! Please see the attached packet with information to guide this at-home project. In the past, we have had many entries across all grade levels and look forward to more! This year, we will align the due dates so the science projects are displayed during Open House. DUE March 2nd.

Kids Heart Challenge is off to a great start and our first wave of thank you prizes were handed out this week! 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!

Goals & Celebrations:

  • The first class with 100% AND The class with the most Finns Missions get an invite to a popsicle party!! Mrs. Riggio’s class is currently in the lead!
  • Mrs. Given has 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! We currently have 131 students signed up - more than half way there! To celebrate, everyone can dress up as their favorite heart hero pup or their color, and Mrs. Given 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! 23 students have already finished Finn's Mission! Check out our Instagram to see these caped heart heroes!
