OPEN HOUSE IS COMING UP!!!!!
I look forward to next Tuesday night (Sept. 16) when our faculty at Lakeview has the opportunity to meet and present to all our parents. The night starts at 6:30 when parents of any students new to District 66 have the opportunity to come in early and meet with Mrs. Liles.
At 7:00 PM, the night starts in the "Old Gym" with a greeting and introductions from Mr. Windsor, then it is off to start our students' schedules. During homebase, parents will be given their students schedule, as well as a map of Lakeview and their locker number and combination!
HOPE TO SEE MANY OLD FACES, AS WELL AS OUR NEW ONES!!!!
FOOTBALL NOTES:
CONGRATULATIONS to Coach Dvorak and the '08 Spartans on their 20-8 victory over Gower!!! This is truly a big win for Lakeview!!!!!!!!!!
Twenty-eight former Lakeview student-athletes are members of the Freshmen football squad at Downers Grove South. These gentlemen have helped the "A" and "B" teams get off to a 2-2 start, and have played well!
ARE THE CUBS REALLY GOING TO HANG IN THERE????????????????????
COULD IT BE???????????????????????????????
SEE YA TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!

SPARTAN PHYSICAL EDUACTION
WELCOME BACK TO SPARTAN COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is my hope that all District 66 students and families had a great Summer!!! It seemed like only days between graduation and the beginning of our new school year!!
My Summer was filled with sport camps, baseball games of all levels, swim meets, and an occasional day of relaxation with all the Dodds!! Speaking of baseball, it appears that the beloved Cubs may actually hang-in-there!! What do they say...."Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while"!!!! Just teasing......as I know we have many Cub fans, including some at my house, in District 66, and "Good Luck" goes out to all of them!!
The '08-'09 school year has gotten off to one of the smoothest starts in recent memory. Our students have returned from Summer organized and ready to jump into our activities for the year! 7th and 8th grade has started Track and Field, while the 6th graders began with Field Hockey, Track and Field, and Flag Football!!
I would like to take this opportunity to wish the best of luck to all the Lakeview athletes participating in Fall sports. This includes boys and girls Cross Country, girls Volleyball, boys Football, and girls Cheerleading!! As always, our junior high athletes always represent Lakeview in a positive way, while preparing for their opportunities to compete later on in high school!
It is my hope to see many parents at the upcoming Lakeview open house (Tuesday; September 16th). As well, please feel free to stop by and observe your son or daughter in any of our Physical Education classes.
"Together.....We Will!!!!"
Have a Great Week!

A GREAT YEAR IS WINDING DOWN !!!!!
As mid-May arrives, it is hard to believe that only three weeks are left in the 2007-08 school year! It seems like only yesterday that Lakeview welcomed the Class of 2008!!
Our P.E. classes are continuing with the units of SOFTBALL and FLOOR HOCKEY, as well as SOCCER at the 6th grade level. In addition, our students have recently completed the Spring PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS TESTING events, and should have shared their scores with their parents! These events included 1) situps, 2) pullups, 3) sit and reach, 4) shuttle run, and 5) mile run. Students were awarded grade points for their efforts to improve their mile times from last Fall.
As promised last week, I would like to recognize all the Spring sport teams for their efforts!
Miss Nyhlen finished Girls Softball with a record of 3-5, including a tough tournament game with Jefferson!
Coach Little's Boys Soccer worked very hard with a predominantly underclass roster, finishing 1-6-2!
Mrs. Wilson's Girls Soccer concluded an undefeated season at 9-0, allowing only 3 goals ALL season!!
Listed below are the Boys and Girls Track and Field medalists from the conference meet. Again, my congratulations to Miss Smith and Mr. Kukulski:
GIRLS
Rebecca S., Raven W., Jacqueline T., Erika L., Brittany D., Carly C., Emily F., Kristy L., Erin Q., Jasmine G., Anna B., Maddie C. Meaghan B., Lisa L., Livvi G., and Maddie S.
BOYS
Lance L., Stephen G., Kevin R., Melvin S.,Andy K., Mike C., Adam N., Dan K., and Jake C.
I hope I have not omitted anyone, and apologize in advance if I have!!
Have a great week, and .......PLAY HARD!!

MID-APRIL AND WINTER WEATHER
WHERE IS THE NICE SPRING WEATHER THAT SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED?????????
Our Physical Eduacation classes are ready to get outside, but this weather is messing us up!!!
Our units of soccer and badminton have been adjusted to fit an inside schedule, and I must say, our students have done a great job!!
7th grade classes are finalizing their two minute Step and Rope routines. Each student has chosen a group to work with, practiced the group routines, and will be graded this week on same!
As with our P.E. classes, Lakeview athletic team schedules have also been subjected to postponements due to the weather! All games / contests have been or will be rescheduled during the coming weeks! Good luck to Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Little and all the Lakeview squads!!
Congratulations go out to Mr. Tedeschi, Mr. Ohlsen, the Concert Band, and Cadet Band for their performances last Saturday at the Band-O-Rama in Justice, Ill. at Wilkins Jr. High School. The Concert Band received a Superior rating, while the Cadet Band received an Outstanding.
A final mention goes out to Samuel Carson III, Lakeview class of 2000. Samuel begins his final year of competition as a member of the University of Illinois football squad. Samuel had an outstanding scrimmage at middle linebacker last Saturday during the Illini's scrimmage at Lemont High School. The Fighting Illini kickoff their 2008 season on Saturday; August 30th vs. Missouri in St. Louis.

WELCOME BACK !!!!!!!!
APRIL, 2008
WELCOME BACK for our final drive to the end-of-the-year!! It only seems like yesterday when the Class of 2008 arrived in August to begin their ninth year (for most) in District 66.
It is my hope that all of the 66 community enjoyed the nine day break, and were able to re-energize over that period. I know that it was great for me!
Our P.E. classes will finish their grade levels units this week, as we all hope that some nice weather finally arrives so we may go outside..............and the Cardinals can seriously start their pennant drive!!!
GOOD LUCK to our Spring athletic teams as they begin play! Boys and Girls soccer, Girls softball, and Boys volleyball have been working hard in preparation for their competition!!
"Play Hard"!!!
