Final Week

As the school year comes to an end, I would like to wish all of the graduating eighth grade students the very best of luck at they move on to high school in the fall. This has been a great first year experience at Lakeview Junior High and I am very excited to be back for the 2008-2009 school year.

In P.E. classes we are playing our annual softball tournament with the seventh and eighth grade classes. The 'Aviators' are really doing a great job in 1st period along with 'The Team' and the 'Softballas' in 2nd and 4th period respectively. We are looking forward to one more week of great playing by all the students!

Let's finish out the year strong!

End of year activities.....

As the school year comes to a close many students will be participating in multiple field trips and activities. The eighth grade students will start practicing for graduation next week and will be taking a field trip to Great America on Thursday, May 29th. The Spring Musical will be taking place on Thursday and Friday of next week with a dress rehearsal on Thursday afternoon for the 5th grade students at Prarieview.

In P.E. classes we will be starting the softball tournament tomorrow and continuing that through the end of the year. Each team will get to choose their own team name and then will be placed into a bracket system. The sixth grade students will be concluding their final units and taking the cognitive test to end the school year.

Good luck to every student as they finish out the school year on a high note!

Final Units....

We started our final units for the school year at the end of last week. Seventh and eighth grade students will be playing softball and floor hockey for the remaing weeks of school. In the last week of class, we will have a softball tournament that will pair each team up against one another to decide a final champion.

All students ran their second mile today in class and did an outstanding job improving their scores from last week. The new and improved time can be recorded on the fitness sheets that need to be signed by a parent and returned.

The Lakeview Girls Softball team concluded their season this past Saturday in the season tournament. The girls had the best game of their season against Jefferson but came up just short of advancing to the second round. Nice job to all of the players and managers on the team that made this a fun season! Go Spartans!

Fitness Testing

Today in class all students will be timed for the mile run. Students can then compare their scores from the fall trimester and see if their cardiovascular endurance has improved with a lower score. Later this week, we will be completing the remainder of the fitness tests including sit and reach, pull ups, shuttle run and sit ups. Every student will have a recording sheet with their final scores on it and must turn that in with a parent signature.

The softball team will be finishing up their regular season this Thursday at home against Gower. On Saturday, the season tournament will take place at Lemont Park District. Go Spartans!
