Dear Lakeview Community,
Well, the downpour, thunder, and lightning were quite a surprise to those of us watching the 10% chance of rain last Friday. It made for a memorable Trunk or Treat! Thank you to each of our amazing families who not only creatively built their trunks but also quickly worked together to tear everything down and ensure everything was safely stored at the end. Thank you to our phenomenal PTA Chair, Jen Avila, and her crew, for organizing such a fun event on what started as a beautiful night. Families can still vote for their favorite trunk:
- Voting will remain open through Monday, November 2, 2026, at 11:59 PM.
- Each email address is limited to one vote.
- We ask that everyone participate fairly and honestly by submitting only one vote and respecting the spirit of friendly competition. We want to make sure every trunk receives a fair and equal opportunity!
- Vote for your favorite trunk by clicking HERE.
Thank you to Akeena Gandhi for hosting Red Ribbon Week activities focusing on making health choices for our minds and bodies! It was fun to see our Lions participating in spirit days and activities to keep them safe.
Believe it or not, we are heading into the final week of trimester 1!! Please note the specific minimum day dismissal times for this Friday, November 6th by clicking HERE.
