Happy Fall!
A word from your PTSA presidents
Is everyone staying dry? What a difference a week makes! Did you know the lowest recorded day in Kirkland was in January of 1950 at a chilly -5 degrees? Brrrr!
With that being said, make sure to get your cozy coats ready and warm costumes on for the upcoming October 26th jog-a-thon. FYI, running also warms you up (hint hint) so parents, come dressed to run as well and support our amazing kiddos- there will be coffee (another hint hint)! If you missed the jog-a-thon video, please check it out via
this link.
From all of us at the PTSA, we want to thank everyone for the continued generous donations of time, ideas and money- we are excited to report that we have been ranked PLATINUM by the Lake Washington PTSA Council. What is platinum you say? It's a BIG deal, as follows:
"A special Congratulations to Lakeview PTSA! They have earned a WA State PTA Platinum Level Award!! The Platinum Level Award is given to local PTAs for a 20% or more increase in paid membership over the previous year's membership.
This is a fantastic accomplishment, especially this early in the year! Way to go! "- Weekly Waves Newsletter October 9th, 2017
Thank YOU all for making such an incredible difference- what an AWESOME year so far!!
Best,
Elizabeth & Kim

Box Tops
Get Clipping!
Each Box Top clipped earns Lakeview 10 cents. Box Tops are found on hundreds of your favorite products
- you probably have some in your home right now! Simply clipping the Box Tops from items you already buy is an easy way to help.
Box Tops can be delivered to your teacher at any time, so get clipping, Leopards! Turn in your box tops in a sandwich bag with your child's name, teacher, and grade. In the spring a special prize will be awarded to the class that turns in the most Box Tops, so get clipping, Leopards!

Our younger kids, however, need some guidance.
