MID-APRIL AND WINTER WEATHER

WHERE IS THE NICE SPRING WEATHER THAT SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED?????????

Our Physical Eduacation classes are ready to get outside, but this weather is messing us up!!!

Our units of soccer and badminton have been adjusted to fit an inside schedule, and I must say, our students have done a great job!!

7th grade classes are finalizing their two minute Step and Rope routines. Each student has chosen a group to work with, practiced the group routines, and will be graded this week on same!

As with our P.E. classes, Lakeview athletic team schedules have also been subjected to postponements due to the weather! All games / contests have been or will be rescheduled during the coming weeks! Good luck to Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Little and all the Lakeview squads!!

Congratulations go out to Mr. Tedeschi, Mr. Ohlsen, the Concert Band, and Cadet Band for their performances last Saturday at the Band-O-Rama in Justice, Ill. at Wilkins Jr. High School. The Concert Band received a Superior rating, while the Cadet Band received an Outstanding.

A final mention goes out to Samuel Carson III, Lakeview class of 2000. Samuel begins his final year of competition as a member of the University of Illinois football squad. Samuel had an outstanding scrimmage at middle linebacker last Saturday during the Illini's scrimmage at Lemont High School. The Fighting Illini kickoff their 2008 season on Saturday; August 30th vs. Missouri in St. Louis.

PLAY HARD!!!!

WELCOME BACK !!!!!!!!

APRIL, 2008

WELCOME BACK for our final drive to the end-of-the-year!! It only seems like yesterday when the Class of 2008 arrived in August to begin their ninth year (for most) in District 66.

It is my hope that all of the 66 community enjoyed the nine day break, and were able to re-energize over that period. I know that it was great for me!

Our P.E. classes will finish their grade levels units this week, as we all hope that some nice weather finally arrives so we may go outside..............and the Cardinals can seriously start their pennant drive!!!

GOOD LUCK to our Spring athletic teams as they begin play! Boys and Girls soccer, Girls softball, and Boys volleyball have been working hard in preparation for their competition!!

"Play Hard"!!!
