Picture Day  

Say cheese! Friday,10/12 is Picture Day for all Lakeview students and staff.

Lakeview PTSA Snow Sports Bus 

Lakeview PTSA runs a snow sports program for 2nd through 5th grade skiers and snowboarders. A chartered bus will load students at school at 2:15 on Wednesdays and take them up to Summit in Snoqualmie Pass for a 2 1/2 hour lesson. Students return to Lakeview around 7:30pm. The program runs for 6 weeks beginning on Wednesday, 1/9. (The program will be extended if weather forces cancelation of a class). Find out more at the Snow Sports Information Meeting for Parents on Thursday, 10/25 at 7:00pm in the Lakeview Commons.

Youth Awareness Disabilities Assemblies      

YADA is comprised of local non-profit organizations and individual volunteers committed to making a difference for children. The mission is to offer quality programs that focus on raising awareness and sensitivity of disabilities in partnership with local elementary schools. On Tuesday, 10/9 and Wednesday, 10/10, YADA will offer a special hands-on presentation for our students. Students are challenged with disability symptom simulation activities, learn how to drive and handle wheelchairs, experience learning disability and vision simulations, and experience adaptive technology. This is sure to be an experience you will hear about at home! 

Don't be left out of the Student Directory

This is your last chance to be included in the Lakeview Student Directory.

 Please return the Student and Family Form with your student by Friday, 10/19. Printable forms available with this link.   

 

You do not need to join PTSA to be included in the directory. Your student can be listed with his or her class without contact information if you prefer. The directory includes only students' names, parents' names, phone numbers and email addresses. PTSA members receive one free directory. After November, a limited number of directories will be for sale for $10 each.

 

A note about the Lakeview PTSA:

Anyone can join PTSA to show their support. PTSA members are not required to attend meetings or to volunteer at the school, although both are welcome. A portion of membership fees goes to the PTSA General Fund which helps financially support such important enrichment programs as the Art Docents, Family Dance Night, Walk to School Week, classroom supplies, the Lakeview Marathon and so much more. For more information about how the PTSA benefits your student, go to www.lwsd.org/lakeview under the PTSA menu.
