Welcome Back to Lakeview School! Life is all about beginnings and this promises to be a wonderful one. It was so nice to see the students come off the bus with smiling faces and greeting old friends and meeting new ones. The students had a special treat the first week of school. They were not only greeted by their friends, but our Lakeview Lion mascot was on hand to high five the children and share in the excitement of the first week of school. Joining Leo, the Lion our Lakeview leaders were excited to greet and make everyone feel welcome as they disembarked from their buses! Thanks to Leo and our Lakeview Leaders for making all our students feel a part of our Lakeview family.
Our incredible PTA organized our annual Fun Fest on September 15th to kick off the 2018 -2019 school year! It was a fabulous day and provided an opportunity for families and staff to visit with each other while enjoying delicious food, games and rides. Special thanks go to Mrs. Pandruvada, Mrs. Shulman and all the volunteers who made this event possible. Thank you!
We were fortunate to have members of our community visit our third graders on September 13th. The Denville Rotary and Sunshine Rotary joined our third grade class and shared the many contributions they make to our community. They provided each of the students with their own personal dictionary. The Rotarians' informative visit and generosity lets us know we are part of a very special community.
As we continue our focus on social emotional learning, morning meetings again are the focal point of the beginning of our learning day. We continue to build a strong sense of community and set our children up for success socially and academically. The purpose is to foster a sense of community, positive behavior and trust. We will be concentrating on our core values. Lakeview Lions Roar with PRIDE. Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence
The first week of October is Respect Week and the School Counselors have many activities planned for the students. Our attention will be on respecting each other and building a strong community! Morning meetings will concentrate on Respect and our Fourth Grade Morning Meeting Club will be starting to visit kindergarten classes to run their morning meetings next week! Tuesday, we have our Lakeview Lion P.R.I.D.E. assemblies to kick off our #GotLakeviewPride program. Teachers will be nominating students who demonstrate our Core Values and they will be celebrated and receive their own Paw Print to give away.
Fourth and fifth grade Lakeview Lion Leaders will be greeting our students every morning as they come off the bus or are dropped off! To show respect for our bus drivers, students will be writing letters of appreciation and giving them to the bus drivers at our special bus morning meeting on Friday. It promises to be an awesome week!
Our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the opening of our Library Media Center will be held at 6:00 PM on October 4th.
Don't forget to join us for the Ice Cream Social on October 4th at 6:30 PM.
