Hello Spartans.........
Just a quick note to highlight what is happening with 8th grade P.E. classes!!!
Our 8th grade classes are rapidly preparing for their BALLROOM DANCE on Friday; December 16th. On that afternoon (1 PM), all 8th graders will participate in a formal ballroom dance sponsored by the Lakeview P.T.O. Relatives are STRONGLY encouraged to attend (and bring your cameras). Our students may say that this is not wanted, but in future years, they will say......"I am glad you came and took pictures.....it was a fun time"!!!!
The 8th grade classes have been preparing for this event since Thanksgiving,and are quite frankly, doing an outstanding job!!
Mrs. Ann Garvey, president and C.E.O of CELEBRITY Dance Studio; 2115 63rd St.; Downers Grove, Il. 60516 has instructed the 8th graders at Lakeview for the past 15 plus years! Dances covered during class include the Cha Cha, Swing, Tango, and Rumba. CELEBRITY studio caters to individuals of all ages, instructing in Waltz, Salsa, Fox Trot, Viennese Waltz, Samba, Mamba, and Hustle !!!!
Have a great week, and..................
GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!! PLAY HARD!!!!!!!!!

CONCLUSION OF FIRST TRI-MESTER !
Hello Spartans..............
Good Luck to Coach Little and Coach Dvorak as they begin their 2011 Junior Varsity Basketball seasons!!!! As a season approaches, ALL parties are very excited to get into the "Game Day Mode", looking forward to the competition! The games during the JV seasons are very compacted due to the few number of dates available for games!
J.V. seasons begin with their first games on Tuesday; November 15th, and conclude......without a post-season tournament......on Wednesday; December 15th !!!!
Varsity rosters for basketball have been announced, with practices to-be-scheduled during late-November and early-December. Gym availability is always an issue, but, due to the cooperative efforts of Mrs. Schultz (PV), Mr. Dvorak, and Dr. Tiede, our varsity will be able to get a number of practices in!!!!
In class, we have begun our units on Volleyball and Bowling, as well as phase 2 of Weight-Training in 6th grade. Our 7th and 8th grade classes will be taking their annual Bowling field-trips to the alleys in Bolingbrook this week....(7th grade on Thursday and 8th grade on Friday).
On a final note, I would like to send out a THANK YOU to all of the individuals in District 66 who have followed the Football Mustangs of D.G.S. this season. Our Varsity went down in defeat last Saturday night to a VERY talented Bolingbrook Raiders squad, 47-19. The quarterback for the Raiders (Junior Aaron Bailey) has received scholarship offers from all the Big 10 schools, as well as many others around the country. Anyone who witnessed the game came away knowing he was the "Real Deal"..........and a very fine individual off the field! The Mustangs finished their season with an overall record of 10 wins and 2 losses!!!!
Have a great week, and ...................................

IT'S A GREAT OCTOBER !!!!!
Hello Spartan fans....
With our first six weeks of school under our belts, I can not remember such a great stretch of BEAUTIFUL weather as we have had over the last two weeks!!!! Let's hope this is just a start towards a hopefully "MILD" Winter!!
The Spartans' football game at Downers Grove South was a rousing success on all levels....GREAT football game (unfortunately won by Eisenhower), beautiful weather, great crowd, outstanding performances by both bands, incredibly good performances by both cheerleading squads, as well as an opportunity for all parties to spend some time on the new field at D.G.S.!!!! It is my hope this year's game will only be the first in an annual event between the two schools!!!!!!
In P.E. class, 7th and 8th graders will be beginning their units on Flag Football, while the 6th graders continue to work through the units of Flag Football, Field Hockey, and Weight Training!!
Good Luck to all our Fall sports teams as they "drive" towards conference championships, as well as strong showings in the state tournaments!!!
Have a Great Week, and....................................
PLAY HARD!!!!!!! GO SPARTANS !!!!!!!!!!
