Golf Unit....

This week in P.E. class, the 7th and 8th grade students started their golf unit. On Monday, we worked on our stance and grip using irons. Today we are concentrating on the short game and practicing our putting skills. Everyone has been doing a great job so far and I'm looking forward to the field trips that conclude the unit.

On Thursday, the 7th grade students will travel to Zigfield Troy Golf Course and practice at the driving range. This will only take place during your P.E. period. Each student usually has enough time to hit one bucket of golf balls.

On Friday, the 8th grade class will travel to Zigfield Troy and spend about three hours at the course. Those students who play golf outside of school and who are mature enough to take on the course will be grouped into foursomes and will play the 9-hole course. All other 8th graders will split their time between the driving range and the mini golf course.

CONGRATULATIONS to both the Varsity and Junior Varsity volleyball teams on their victory last night over Lisle! Both teams have been playing great ball with outstanding teamwork. Our next game will be on Thursday, 9/24 @ Butler. The next home game is on Monday next week against Jefferson. Come on out and show your support! Go Spartans!!!

P.E. and Volleyball.....

This week in P.E. classes we are continuing our track and field units for the 7th and 8th grade students. Today in class (Wednesday, 9/16), ALL students will be running the mile for a recorded time. Each student completes a two lap course and then records their time.

In 6th grade classes, the students have been doing a great job with their first units. We will test on Friday with all of the 6th grade classes and then each class will rotate to their next teacher. Nyhlen's class will be starting Flag Football, Dodd's class will be starting Track and Field and Dvorak's class will be starting Field Hockey.


REMINDER: All 7th and 8th grade students received their P.E. field trip permission slips for the year. Students need to have these signed and returned by next TUESDAY, 9/22. If you need to print an extra one, they are all available online through our school webiste. Click on Lakeview, scroll down to Physical Education and then click on Permission Slips.

Good luck to the volleyball teams as they take on Burr Ridge tonight at home! Varsity games start at 4pm followed immediately by the Junior Varsity. Next week, both teams will be on the road. Monday, 9/21 the Spartans will take on Lisle and Thursday, 9/24 Lakeview will play Butler. Keep up the great work girls!

Lakeview Volleyball

Our Varsity and JV Volleyball teams have been doing an excellent job at practice in preparation for their first game. The Spartans will travel to Old Quarry on Thursday looking to start the season strong with a big victory on the road. Our first home game will be next week on Wednesday, September 16th against Burr Ridge. Come on out and show your support for both teams. All home games start at 4pm.

In P.E. class, the 7th and 8th grade students have been working hard in Track and Field. So far in Track, we have covered the 50 and 200 dash. We will be starting with relays at the end of this week where students will be in teams of four. The goal for each relay team is to improve on their overall time and try to improve their ranking. We will be starting with the 400 relay on Wednesday.

Sixth grade students have done a nice job in their first units here at Lakeview. In Field Hockey, we will be starting games today and tomorrow. Remember that all of the study guides are available online for our end of unit tests.
