Thanks and Praise
Lakeview teachers & staff rock! The PTSA greatly appreciates the many volunteer efforts around Lakeview, particularly those teachers and staff who go 'above and beyond' their normal work day to transport our school from good to great. Thank you to Meighan Lailey and Stephanie Llanes for representing the teachers at our PTSA Board meetings. Your time and input is invaluable!

If you should have received one and you don't get it in the next few days, please email lakptsamembership@gmail.com to request a copy. If you are not a PTSA member, but would like to buy a directory, or would like an extra copy, they are available for purchase for $10 each. Please email Mary Pund at lakptsamembership@gmail.com to place your order. We do have extras, but they will be available on a first come, first served basis.

Volunteer Spotlight
Winter Wishes is a time honored tradition at Lakeview. It is an opportunity for our community to show we care during the holiday season by helping families share in the joy of gift giving and receiving. Less fortunate families communicate their needs and wants to our school counselor, Marcee Ben-Menachem. Lakeview students, along with their parents, select one or more of these requests, also known as winter wishes, and fulfill them by purchasing the items and returning them to the school. This year, the winter wish request list will be available both online, through the Lakeview website, and in the front office. The list will be available beginning Monday,11/19 thru Friday, 11/30. The winter wish gifts will be collected in the gift bin located near the front office until Thursday, 12/13.
We are appreciative of our volunteer Dana Laursen for chairing this very worthy and loved event for the third year in a row. She has a third grader in Mrs. Tiffany's class. Dana enjoys continuing her involvement with this event because of the rewarding feeling she receives by helping others less fortunate than herself, especially during the holidays. Your help is needed at the signup table in the office and sorting gifts the week of Monday, 12/10. This is a great opportunity to quietly get involved without too much commitment, meet other parents and remember what the holidays are all about! If you are interested please contact Dana at
