Last Week!!!

Wow, how time flies! This upcoming week, will be the last full week of school for the year! There are many activities going on in all three grade levels next week, all of which will be fun and rewarding at the same time. All three grade levels will have their RJR breakfasts and field days, very well deserved! The eighth grade students will be cleaning out their lockers for the final time and also going on their boat trip downtown to Navy Pier.

I want to take this time to congratulate all of the graduates in the Class of 2010! This will be my first group of students that I have had all three years, so they definitely hold a special place in my heart. You have all been a wonderful group to teach and coach and you will be missed. Good luck to all of you as you begin to venture out into high school! I know you will represent Lakeview well and always remember the valuable lessons that you learned the past three years here.

Next week in P.E. classes we will be having our final tests of the year. 6th grade students will test in their respective units (badminton, soccer or softball), while 7th and 8th grade students will be tested on floor hockey and softball.

Let's finish out the school year strong! Have a great weekend!

Fitness Testing...

This week in P.E. classes we completed the Presidential Physical Fitness Tests. Each student received a score sheet where they recorded their scores in the following categories: Mile Run, Pull-Ups, Sit and Reach, Shuttle Run and One minute Sit-Ups. Students should show some type of progression compared to their Fall fitness scores.

Please check for these sheets this weekend and review the scores with your child. The signed fitness sheet will be collected on Monday in class.

Have a great weekend!

LV Softball Season...

This past week the softball team wrapped up their regular season with a 16-10 victory over Westview Hills M.S. The overall record for the Spartans this season is 3-4-1, which places us into the #5 seed for our tournament on Saturday, May 15th. The Spartans will take on Cass at 10:45am, in hopes of making it to the next round at 12:30pm. The tournament will be held at the Lemont Park District.

In P.E. classes, 7th and 8th grade students wrapped up their soccer and badminton units this past week. We will now be moving into our final two units of the school year: floor hockey and softball. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for us so that we can be outside for the next few weeks.

Good luck to the boys volleyball team in their conference tournament this Saturday, May 8th at Lakeview!!! Go Spartans!!!
