A GREAT YEAR IS WINDING DOWN !!!!!

As mid-May arrives, it is hard to believe that only three weeks are left in the 2007-08 school year! It seems like only yesterday that Lakeview welcomed the Class of 2008!!

Our P.E. classes are continuing with the units of SOFTBALL and FLOOR HOCKEY, as well as SOCCER at the 6th grade level. In addition, our students have recently completed the Spring PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS TESTING events, and should have shared their scores with their parents! These events included 1) situps, 2) pullups, 3) sit and reach, 4) shuttle run, and 5) mile run. Students were awarded grade points for their efforts to improve their mile times from last Fall.

As promised last week, I would like to recognize all the Spring sport teams for their efforts!
Miss Nyhlen finished Girls Softball with a record of 3-5, including a tough tournament game with Jefferson!
Coach Little's Boys Soccer worked very hard with a predominantly underclass roster, finishing 1-6-2!
Mrs. Wilson's Girls Soccer concluded an undefeated season at 9-0, allowing only 3 goals ALL season!!

Listed below are the Boys and Girls Track and Field medalists from the conference meet. Again, my congratulations to Miss Smith and Mr. Kukulski:

GIRLS
Rebecca S., Raven W., Jacqueline T., Erika L., Brittany D., Carly C., Emily F., Kristy L., Erin Q., Jasmine G., Anna B., Maddie C. Meaghan B., Lisa L., Livvi G., and Maddie S.

BOYS
Lance L., Stephen G., Kevin R., Melvin S.,Andy K., Mike C., Adam N., Dan K., and Jake C.

I hope I have not omitted anyone, and apologize in advance if I have!!

Have a great week, and .......PLAY HARD!!
