MORE SNOW ???????? What's Happenin' Here!!!!!!

Hey Spartan Fans............

It's Mid-March, and snow is still falling......what is going on with Mother Nature ????? !!!!!

As we push towards Spring Break, classes at Lakeview are cruising along with units on PICKLEBALL and TABLE TENNIS / BAGS (and WIFFLEBALL in 6th grade). Some classes have been playing singles tournaments, while others have teamed up individuals to play doubles.

The "Jungle Drums" say that NO ONE in any class has beated Coach Dvorak in any of his classes in neither Pickleball or Table Tennis. With one week to go, will anyone step up and meet the challenge?????????

This Thursday night (March 25th), Lakeview Jr. High will honor the student athletes involved in our Winter athletic programs. Boys and Girls in CHEERLEADING and BASKETBALL at both Jr. Varsity and Varsity levels will be honored. Players and parents who have registered for the PaPa Passero's meal will dine at 6:00 PM, followed by awards for all participants at roughly 6:30-6:45 PM.

Our appeal to Lakeview parents and students regarding shoes being laced up and tied during P.E. classes has been very well-received by all. This request went out due to students losing their shoes during P.E. class as the ran, kicked, or stopped and started. This step up in safety concerns has lead to everyone at Lakeview (students AND TEACHERS) being asked not to wear sandals without backstraps..........you never can be too safe !!!!!!!!

It is my hope that everyone in the District 66 family has an enjoyable and relaxing Spring Break week!!!!!!!

On a final note, Mr. Little, Coach Slayden and I would like to remind all the good baseball fans that the Cardinals start defense of their N.L. East Championship on Monday; April 5th in Cincinnati (12:15 PM) vs the Reds, while the White Sox open the same afternoon at Cellular Field vs Cleveland at 1:15 PM.

And of course how could we forget the loveable Cubs who start 2010 play on the same afternoon in Atlanta vs the Braves. They will again attempt to break that 100 plus year drive to a World Series appearance!!!!!!!!

On the alumni front, I would like to send out a personal "GOOD LUCK " to all the former 66 student-athletes who will be beginning SPRING seasons this week at our local high schools. Included in this group are Jacob Rone, John Holakovsky, and T.J. Dodd; members of the D.G.S. varsity baseball squad.....GO MUSTANGS!!!!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK.......... GO SPARTANS........PLAY HARD!!!!!!!!!

Coach Dodd
