OUR FINAL WEEK !!!!!!!
Hi again everyone, and welcome to our last week of school before we break for the holidays!!
Our final week will include many activities, highlighted by the outstanding annual 8th grade ballroom dance performance. As Mrs. Liles mentioned in her blog and her e-mail to our 8th grade parents, this Friday afternoon's finale will begin at approximately 1:15 PM, with all parents and relatives of our 8th graders welcome to attend. As mentioned previously, our 8th grade class has done an OUTSTANDING job during the last two weeks! Mrs. Garvey and her two assistants (Kim and Michael) from Celebrity Dance have brought the best out of the Class of '09.
6th and 7th graders continue with their square dance units and are, for the most part, doing quite well. Their final day of dance will be this Thursday (12/18/08), with a written test. Good luck to all!!!
Congratulations goes out to Coach Dvorak and Coach Little for their seasons with the Junior Varsity. Final games (#9 and #10) will be this week (Monday and Tuesday). Good luck to both squads!
Tryouts and final rosters have taken place on both the Boys and Girls Varsity teams!
The Boys Varsity has begun practice, and will continue until they tipoff their season on Sunday; January 4th, participating in the 8th Annual Downers Grove Mayors Classic at Downers Grove North High School! All teams (Lakeview, Jefferson, O'Neill, Eisenhower, Herrick, St. Joe's, St. Mary's, and Our Lady of Peace) are guaranteed two games, with winners moving to the championship games. Lakeview tips off it's first game at Noon in the Downers Grove North Fieldhouse!!! A special "THANKS" goes out to Mrs. Jill Hansen (Ide principal), Coach Dave Dvorak (Dist. 66 AD), and Tom Tiede (Transportation Coordinator) for working out the logistics allowing for our team to practice at Ide due to lack of gym availability at Lakeview!! As Dr. Tiede has said, "Working Together, We Can"!!!!
Members of this years club include John B., Povilas G., James I., Jeff J., Andrew J., Steven K., Vincent L., Tony L., Marty L., Robert M., Joe N., Alex P., Zack P., Kevin R., and Chris W.. Our administrative assistants include Alexa R., Sadie B., Katarina S., Kaylee M., Dan T., Christian T., and Matt T..
Another "THANKS" goes out to our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who did an outstanding job during the recent candy sale!!! We are all aware of the economic crunch that is taking place! Our students did such an outstanding job, thus allowing District 66 to purchase needed equipment that otherwise would not be able to be purchased! As our teams take the field / floor, please notice how nice they look, thus making them feel first class!
Finally, GOOD LUCK goes out to Zack Bell (LV-'03) as he and his Air Force Falcon teammates prepare for their bowl game vs. the University of Houston Cougars. The Falcons enter the Armed Forces Bowl in Ft. Worth, Texas with a record of 8 and 4. The game will be broadcast on ESPN kicking off at 11 AM on December 31st. ....... HIT HARD !!
Have a great holiday season!!!!!!!
Play Hard!!

IT'S PROMENADE AND TANGO TIME!!!!!!
December 1, 2008
Hi again Spartan fans,
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break, and are ready for the roll into the Christmas season! Our students are in the process of starting a new unit (8th grade Ballroom Dancing), while the 7th graders will finish Bowling and Volleyball this week. 7th graders start Square Dancing on Dec. 8th, while the 6th graders will start Square Dancing on Dec. 15th.
Our district has been very fortunate to secure the services of Mrs. Ann Garvey for our Ballroom Dance unit. Ann is the President and Executive Director of Celebrity Dance in Downers Grove, Ill. 2008 marks ....at least... ten years that she has come in to teach our students Ballroom Dancing, culminated by a ballroom formal dance on Friday; December 19th; 1 PM; Lakeview gym. This 8th grade event is co-sponsored by the Lakeview P.T.O. and Lakeview Jr. High School. .................8th grade parents........mark this date on your calendar, grab your camera, and come see what an outstanding job your children can do!!!!!
BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL TRYOUTS are set for tomorrow (Tues.; Dec. 2) from 3 - 4:30 PM at Lakeview. All candidates must have a current physical on file, as well as a signed parental permission slip acknowledging the team rules and expectations. The boys season tips off on Sunday; January 4th at Downers Grove North High School. The Spartans will be participating in the 6th annual D.G. Mayor's Classic.
On a personal note, I would like to acknowledge one of our former Lakeview student/ athletes who has just completed his senior year of high school soccer at D.G.S.. Michael Mascitti was named "Player-of-the-Year" by the Suburban Life newspaper. This award is made even more special by the fact that Mike had three knee surgeries during the last 24 months. Those of you who know Mike, know that he took this as a challenge, and was justly rewarded for his hard work!! Mike has not decided on a college yet, but rest assured, a soccer school somewhere is going to be fortunate to have this young, top academic student become a member of their team! GOOD LUCK MIKE!!!!
Have a great week, and do drive carefully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
