Wow!!!! Did New Year's to Spring Break get here in a hurry!! It seems like only yesterday that our Boys Varsity Basketball team was competing in the D.G. Mayor's Classic on Jan. 4th at DGN. I guess when an activity that takes as much time as basketball is successful, the days seem to flow quicker!!
As the basketball season for '08-'09 has come to a halt, I would like to say a final Thanks to everyone who made it a success. I was very proud to be the Spartans coach again this season. The awards night was a great opportunity to see all the members of our "family" together one final time! To that, I would like to say "Thank You" to all the players and parents for the very thoughtful gifts I received. The gift certificate will come in very handy, and the photo album will be cherished by my future generations!.........These were the '09 Spartans!!.....Tourney Champs!!!!
Good luck to all our students as they finish the final weeks of school (approx. 41 days....but who is counting???? !!!!!). Girls Softball (Miss Nyhlen), Girls Soccer (Mrs. Wilson), Boys Soccer (Mr. Little), Boys Volleyball (Mrs. Wagner), Boys/Girls Track and Field (Mrs. Ohlander and Mr. Kukulski), and Boys/Girls Swnmming Miss Enzbigilis are in the process of formulating their teams....Best of Luck to all!!!!!
In the Fine Arts area, the 2009 musical, "GUYS and DOLLS, Jr." under the direction of Miss Berman and Mr. Ohlsen will set out at Lakeview for performances on the nights of May 14 and 15!!!
Our P.E. classes are continuing with their units on Cornhole.."Bags", Pickleball, and Wiffleball in 6th grade. Our students seem to be enjoying thesee activities!!
On a final note, the winner of last week's (and final week) "Lunch-with-the Coach" contest is Kevin R. (for the third time this year). Kevin correctly answered......"Alex Gorniak, Malcolm Herron, Mike Cahill, and Seth Carson" for the question........WHAT FOUR FORMER LAKEVIEW ALUMS HELPED DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH ACHIEVE A GREAT BASKETBALL SEASON IN 2008-2009??
Have a great Spring Break, and...........................
GO SPARTANS.................PLAY HARD!!!!!
