Spring Greetings
A word from your PTSA presidents

With April coming to a close and May right around the corner, the end of school is fast approaching!  BUT WAIT- we still have SO much to do.....teacher appreciation week, more miles at the marathon (thank you Cindy and volunteers!) and on June 1st, the Lakeview AUCTION!!!  

Wait what?  Did someone say AUCTION!?!   Please join your friends and meet some new ones as we celebrate our amazing  Lakeview Community this coming June 1 st  at the gorgeous Woodmark Hotel.   Get your tickets ASAP as once they are gone, they are gone!  You can find the link to purchase tickets at   www.lakeviewptsa.org  website.

Staff Appreciation Week is quickly approaching and is a very special time at Lakeview. It's our opportunity to thank the wonderful people who educate and care for our children. Blank cards will be coming home with students so they can make a card or two for teachers and staff. Additionally, r oom parents will be reaching out to your regarding appreciation activities for your child(ren)'s teacher. 

We also have daily activities for all staff including a staff breakfast, catered lunch, snack bar and more. And need your help to make these successful too!
