HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all the Spartans!! It is hard to believe that the school year is 1/4 over, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner!
We are about to conclude our Flag Football units in all grades with the start-up of Bowling and Volleyball just around the corner (and don't forget Weight Training in 6th grade!). In looking back, it seems as though our entire school enjoyed Flag Football, with many fun and COMPETITIVE games during class!!!! Nothing like playing a 1st hour game on the "Frozen Tundra" of Lakeview Stadium!!!! Just honk and the geese will move!!
A huge "Way-To-Go" goes out to Mrs. Wagner and her Varsity Girls Volleyball team! After finishing a respectable fifth during the regular season, the Lady Spartans ran the table during the conference tourney, and captured the championship. After defeating regular-season champion Cass in the semis, the Spartans won it all with a win over Westview Hills.
Team members include Krystal B., Kelly C., Jackie C., Danielle C., Brittany D., Alex D., Stephanie H., Marissa J., Kristy L., Caroline P., Kelly S., and Jessica S. Never to be forgotten on a team is the manger, with Kristin K. doing a great job all season.
Have a safe and happy halloween, and...................................PLAY HARD!!!!!!!

WHO WILL BE MR. OCTOBER IN 2008???????
WELCOME SPARTAN FANS!!!!!
As the end of October approaches, tonight marks the start of the World Series. Although the Chicago teams (and the Cardinals) are not there, exciting games are expected. And then '09 Spring Training will be right around the corner!
On the local front, CONGRATULATIONS go out to the Lakeview Football squad, Coach Dvorak, and Coach Novotny. Although Cass rallied in the second half of the deciding game, the Spartans posted a very respectable 4-2 mark and 2nd place in the conference. It is my hope that all the graduating 8th graders continue their football careers in high school, no matter which school they choose to attend!!!!
As football is a topic, I would like to personally congratulate six former Lakeview student/ athletes who will be playing their final regular season football games for the Downers Grove South Mustangs this Friday night (Oct. 24) at Mustang Stadioum vs. the Leyden Eagles.
Seth Carson (31), Anthony Zaffino (40), Marc Goldstein (50), Jeff Schorsch (54), Ryan Pjescich (70), and Matt Lunt (93) will finish four year careers having helped the Mustangs to many memorable moments! In addition, managers Julie Bell and Samantha Lach, and trainer Merril Idiyalil have been valuable assets to the Mustang football program!!!!!
As a side note to this final D.G.S. regular season home game, the D.G.S. marching band will be at a competition in Minneapolis this weekend. Standing in (as they did in '07), "The Marching Spartans" from Lakeview will be performing! They have been working very hard on their songs, and from what I hear and understand, are seiously looking forward to another night at Mustang Stadium! MARCH HARD!!!!
Finally, I would like to say "Thanks" to the many Lakeview student/athletes who are participating in the annual candy sale / fundraiser. Without this activity, the Lakeview P.E. and athletic programs would not be able to continue at the level they have been at of late. This fundraiser helps provide needed funds that would not be available otherwise. These funds help purchase higher quality items that would normally not be purchased due to school budgets! Our students hard work should be commended!! Fortunately our government does not have to sell candy, cookie dough, or "gold cards" to help fund HOMELAND SECURITY!!!!!
Have a Great week, and GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!
"PLAY HARD"!!!!!!!

SPARTAN PHYSICAL EDUCATION
HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I sit and compose this, it is my hope that all the District 66 family is enjoying a day of relaxation and reloading of energies.
Those 8th graders who attended the Washington trip should be returning tonight with many pleasant memories. This has always been a fun and rewarding trip for those attendees.
LAKEVIEW P.E. classes (7th and 8th grade) have concluded their unit on golf, and had successful outings to the golf course.
7th and 8th grade classes are in their second week of Flag Football, and seem to be enjoying themselves with competitive games. The sportsmanship displayed has been very positive, with the players officiating for themselves. The many years of stressing our "Pillars of Character" appear to be paying off.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish Coach Dvorak and the football Spartans GOOD LUCK in their upcoming game with Cass. Cass defeated the Spartans earlier in the season. Cass enters the game undefeated, while the Spartans have one loss. A Spartan victory moves Lakeview into a tie for the conference championship......HIT HARD!!!!!!!!
Have a great week, and GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!!!!!
