SUPER BOWL and SPRING TRAINING.......IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!

Hello Spartan Nation!!!!!!!

First off, I would like to personally congratulate Dr. L. Jay Tiede on thirty-nine great years as a member of the District 66 staff. Dr. Tiede has recently announced that 2011-12 would be his final year in 66. Dr. Tiede has served in many capacities during this period....teacher, coach, band director, assistant principal, principal, and finally superintendent. Having been on staff for 38 of these years, I feel I can strongly say that 66 is a better place due to Dr. Tiede's work in all the above capacities. I would like to say "Thank You" for the opportunities Dr. Tiede has given me, and want to wish he and his family the best in the future!!!!!

So much has taken place since our last visit!!! 2012 is rolling along in our Physical Education classes at Lakeview.......7th and 8th grade continues with Basketball and Strength Training, while the 6th graders begin a new rotation of Floor Hockey, Basketball, and Strength Training!!! Our students have returned from Holiday Break with great enthusiasm, making our classes great to work with!!!

Varsity Basketball, Boys and Girls both have gotten off to a respectable start. 17 players compose the Boys squad, and have had a good start in two tournaments and one week of the regular season. On the Girls side, a Consolation Championship in both the Westmont and D.G. Mayor's Tourney have given the Girls a great beginning!!

In continuing on the athletic side, I would like to personally say "Thank You" to Mr. Jennifer Maass and her Varsity cheerleading squad!! During the three days of the Westmont Tournament, these GREAT LADIES (and families) attended all the games, supporting both the Boys and Girls basketball squads from Lakeview!!

AND FINALLY..........HERE ARE SOME VERY IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES......

Boys and Girls Varsity BBall this week...Tuesday vs. Westview Hills
