Dear Lakeview Lions,
We have had great participation in our first week of Lions in the Wild! In your Thursday folder is a new tracking sheet for this week. On the back is information about improving screen time usage for your child. As an additional parent resource, please see the attached document to guide conversations with your older child about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Our community goal is to earn 1,000 paws total. Each paw is a 20 minute or more activity not on a screen. The tallies are still coming in for week 1, but we are already over 400 paws! Get outside and send us pictures of your Lion in the Wild!
Spring Forward Time Change! Don’t forget that our clocks move forward 1 hour this weekend to start Daylight Saving Time. As a perfectly timed bonus, you’ll have extra daylight later in the day, so get outside and earn another paw for our Lions in the Wild!
Thank you to our many families who came to Chuck E Cheese last month for our Dining with Lakeview! It was a huge success with over $500 returning to our Lions. Stay tuned for the next Dining fundraiser!

Calling Science Fair Judges! If you work in a science-based profession or have a background in science, we’d love to have you as one of our Science Fair Judges! This is a heartwarming experience to listen to students share about their process and what they learned, mistakes included, while conducting their experiments. If you are interested or have questions, please reach out to YLlakeviewelementarypta@gmail.
