The sixth grade students had three full days of square dancing this past week and will continue through Thursday of next week. On Thursday, all of the students will take part in a skills test. This will measure not only ones knowledge of square dancing and the different figures, but also how well each student listens and works with one another. Ask your student to demonstrate some of the moves with you at home.
Examples: Do-Sa-Do, Right Arm Swing, Left Arm Swing, Allemande Left, Allemande Right and Promenade
Congratulations to the 8th grade class on continuing their outstanding BALLROOM DANCING skills with Mrs. Garvey this week! Remember, next Friday (12.18) is our actual Ballroom Dance. Every student in 8th grade will be participating in this. Girls, as a reminder, if you are planning on wearing high heels to the dance, DO NOT wear them all day at school. Your feet will be very tired by the time 1:00pm comes around.
Good luck to the Varsity Girls Basketball team as they travel to MVCC this weekend to play in a pre-season tournament. Next week, the JV Girls have three games to wrap up their season: Monday, home against Jefferson**Tuesday, home against Cass**Thursday, away against Old Quarry. GO SPARTANS!

New units....
This week we started our new units for all three grade levels. In 7th and 8th grade P.E. classes we began volleyball and bowling. Our 6th graders started volleyball, bowling and strength training.
In volleyball, we will be working on the basics of passing, setting and serving to begin. Next week, we will start practicing our appoaches for attacking the ball at the net and rotation in a game. We will begin playing volleyball games during the middle of next week.
Congratulations to all of the Fall athletes on amazing seasons! We had our Fall Sports Banquet last night and all of the students did a great job. It was so nice to be able to recognize all of the hard work that each individual put in during their season.
Up next, boys and girls JV and Varsity Basketball as well as JV/Varsity Cheerleading. The first JV Basketball game for both boys and girls is next Thursday 11/12. The boys will travel to Gower, while the girls will host Gower here at Lakeview. GO SPARTANS!!!

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.
