Varsity Volleyball...

Congratulations to the Varsity volleyball team on their 3rd place finish in the Conference Tournament this past Saturday. The LV girls came out firing in their first match against Butler with a whole new intensity level (STANFORD!). LV defeated Butler in 3 games, advancing in the tournament to take on Eisenhower. LV lost their first game, but then battled back and won big in the 2nd game. In the third game, LV gave their best effort but Eisenhower was just too strong and moved onto the championship game.

I want to thank all of the Varsity girls for their dedication and team spirit this season. Good luck to all of those 8th graders that finished out their volleyball career here at Lakeview. I know you will be outstanding if you play in high school.

This week in P.E. class we will be going outside for Flag Football if the rain holds off.....c'mon sun!

Have a great week and weekend!

Spartan Volleyball...

CONGRATULATIONS to the JV Volleyball team on their amazing season! The JV team finished up their season on Wednesday with a victory over Gower. That win put their overall season record at 9-1! The team played so well together at every game and everyone involved should be very proud of an impressive season.

The Varsity Volleyball team finished out their regular season on Wednesday with a victory over Gower as well. Even though the team was short handed and missing four players, the girls still pulled together as a team and won in two games! The overall record for Varsity is 6-4, which will put the girls in the A Bracket for our Conference Tournament on Saturday, October 24th. Go Spartans!

In P.E. class this week, each grade level has been doing fitness and then indoor activities. We are hoping that next Monday and Tuesday the weather will be warm and dry enough to go outside and we will finally play an actual Flag Football game. Please be prepared with appropriate clothing.

October Weather???

This has been a rainy and cold week.....not a very good start to our flag football unit. All of the classes have been inside for the past few days working on indoor football skills. We completed passing drills, snaps, handoffs and punting. I'm hoping that next week the weather will cooperate and it starts to dry up out there. We will be going outside if it is not raining, so please be prepared with your sweatshirts and sweatpants.

The sixth grade classes are still in the middle of their units as well. We will probably finish up at the end of next week and then switch into our final units for these first three activities. Sixth grade students should also have cold weather clothing because their units can all be played outside.

The JV Volleyball team is currently 8-1, while Varsity is 5-4. Both teams have one game left in the regular season, next Wednesday, October 14th at home against Gower. Varsity will then be participating in their Conference Tournament on Saturday, October 24th @ Lakeview. Times and standings still to be announced.

Have a great, long Columbus Day weekend!

Fitness Testing...

This week 7th and 8th grade classes finished up their track/field units along with golf, by taking their cognitive tests for each unit. Most everyone did an excellent job on their tests. Remember, all of the study guides are available online to review for our tests.

This week we also finished up fitness testing with all three grade levels. Your child should be bringing home their fitness sheet to show you their scores. Each student will receive 10 points if they turn in their signed fitness sheet.

Next week, we will be starting our flag football units. The boys and girls classes will be separate for this unit. We will begin by learning and reviewing the basics of passing, catching, snapping and punting. Next we will move into position responsibility and game play.

Congratulations to the JV Volleyball team on their victory last night over Westview. The Varsity team put up a great battle, but ended up losing the match in 3 games. The JV record is 5-1, while Varsity is 4-2. Keep up the great work ladies!
