Hey Spartan Fans.....
WOW.....It's Thanksgiving already!!!!! Once again.....is this year flying by!!!!!
On a short week, there are still important things taking place in and around "66"!!!
BOWLING and VOLLEYBALL are moving along in all three grade levels, with WEIGHT TRAINING going on in 6th grade!! The 7th and 8th graders did a GREAT JOB last Thursday and Friday at the "BOWL in BOLINGBROOK"!!!!! Great bowling and MUCH food!!
BALLROOM DANCING with Mrs. Anne Garvey starts for our 8th graders when we return from Thanksgiving vacation on November 30th. This gala unit will conclude with our "formal" dance on the last Friday (Dec. 18th) before Christmas break. I know our current 8th graders will follow in the tradition of past classes and do an outstanding job....FIRE UP!!!!!
BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL TRYOUTS will be held on Monday, Nov. 30th and Wed., Dec. 2nd at Lakeview from 3 - 5 PM. Boys trying out have returned signed parental permission slips, and seem ready to go!!
On a final note, I would like to take this opportunity to promote the BONFIELD EXPRESS 5K Walk/Run this coming Thursday morning in Downers Grove. Jim Bonfield was a teacher, dean, and coach at both Downers North and Downers South High School. Before passing away after a long battle with cancer, Jim touched the lives of thousands of students at both schools. Over the course of 30 plus years, Coach Bonfield was a guiding light for students of all types, colors, abilities, beliefs, and a person who made a mark on this young coach as I started my career at the high school level!
The 5K walk run has raised scholarship money for 52 graduates of both Downers Grove high schools, and again this year will provide funds for ten more graduates of the class of 2010. The run/walk starts off from Main and Curtiss in Downers Grove at 8:30 AM. To find out more on how to participate in this outstanding event, please log-on to www.bonfieldexpress.com
I hope to see many 66ers at this event!!!!!!
Have a great Thanksgiving, and .........................
GO SPARTANS.......PLAY HARD!!!!!!!!

MANY of our current Lakeview students and parents have followed the Downers Grove South Varsity Football squad this past season. After two thrilling playoff victories over Waubonsie Valley and Bolingbrook, the Mustangs season ended last Saturday night at Glenbard North. The Mustangs and Panthers battled to the very end with Glenbard North hanging on to a 7-3 victory. On behalf of the entire varsity, I would like to say "Thanks" for the great support in 2009. 2010 looks promising, as the Mustangs return 13 starters from this past season........HIT HARD!!!!!!

IT'S BOWLING and VOLLEYBALL
Hello Spartan Fans,
The BAD Fall weather has been victorious, so our P.E. classes will be moving on to Volleyball and Bowling (and Weight Training in 6th grade). Our classes did do a great job during the Fall units, and as well on their written tests for those activities!!
Our Junior Varsity Basketball teams, as well as the J.V. cheerleaders have been chosen, and a big "GOOD LUCK" goes out to those teams and their respective coaches!!
VARSITY BOYS basketball tryouts will be announced shortly, with a written permission slip necessary for all players wishing to tryout!!! An e-mail and this blog site wuill have more information as the days pass....Stay Tuned!!!!
Great job by the Downers South Football, Cheerleading, and Dance teams on their performances last Saturday night at Benedictine U. vs. Waubonsie Valley. A thrilling game came down to the last :20 seconds as the Waubonsie kicker was "Wide Left" assuring a Mustang victory!!!! Another outstanding performance by the Marching Mustangs as well!!!
This Saturday night, the Mustangs travel to Bolingbrook for a rematch with the Raiders....Kickoff is 6 PM, with all tickets at $5.00. The Raiders defeated Downers South the first week of the season (16-14), so the Mustangs will be looking to get even!!!
Have a great week, "Play Hard!!!", and..............Go Spartans!!!!!
