Happy Mother's Day!
A word from your PTSA presidents

 
May Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day and a royal wedding, oh my!, May certainly is bringing us a lot of exciting moments and fun festivities.  May also brought us an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week filled with flowers and lunches and homemade cards, thank you all so much for making our amazing Lakeview staff feel SO very loved and appreciated!  

With a couple of weeks left in the month, we still have our Volunteer Tea fast approaching AND our auction on June 1st!  Got tickets?  You won't want to miss amazing items such as; John Legend tickets, a Suncadia stay, C-17 simulator and flight tour, Seahawk tickets, Mariner tickets, Sounders tickets and MUCH more....please know that once we sell out, we can't add any more tickets so PLEASE don't delay! 

 
We want to thank the awesome volunteers and we hope you all enjoy an amazing Memorial Day....and you thought we forgot:  According to an old Cornish superstition, it was unlucky to buy a new broom or wash a blanket in the month of May.  Yep, you're welcome!
