Thank you Mrs. Newman and the 8th graders for my ceiling tile! I love it ❤️
Last week the culinary class "How Appetizing" took on appetizers from China and made Potstickers. These 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students did an incredible job making the wrappers from scratch, building flavors in the filling, and cooking them up with oil and steam.
We also learned that dumplings are found in so many different cultures: Potstickers from China, Empanadas from Spain, Pierogis from Poland, Ravioli from Italy; where in the world is your favorite dumpling found?
The Anderson's Book Fair is on at Lakeview - but you can shop online too! There are loads of books and basket filler gifts available (preschool to adult). This sale supports our school as well as a local business. Open Thursday evening during Spartan Showcase too.
The DGS Royalty Steppers came to Lakeview to perform a Black History program for students. The performance was OUTSTANDING! It was filled with energy, sound, talent, and lessons about the history of step dancing as a form of communication and celebration. After school, the DGS Royalty Steppers offered an hour long clinic for any interested Lakeview students to learn step dancing moves. Our students enjoyed getting to know the DGS students and learning about new opportunities for them in high school. It was a great afternoon - THANK YOU DGS Royalty Steppers!
The Anderson's Book Fair is coming to Lakeview - Feb 27th to March 2nd! Students will be able to attend during school hours and the fair will be open to the public during Spartan Showcase. There are awesome things from ages preschool to adult!

It takes a village! The LV LRC partners regularly with Indian Prairie Public Library! Whether it is combining with LRC to offer additional materials for research, or working with us to provide special items requested, we are thankful for the community partnership!
Last week, 7th gr students in Mrs. Burrows's class engaged in a class discussion about Strong as Fire, Fierce as Flame, the Global Read Aloud novel we are reading in class. To learn HOW to have a discussion, students faced each other in a circle and could choose to do any of the following: ask a question, reply to someone's question, build on another student's idea, or comment about something interesting they noticed in the novel. Students were engaged, and quickly realized listening is just as important as speaking in a discussion. They did a great job!
Boys basketball wins in the first round of the SDEAA tournament. Great job and good luck next week! #WhateverItTakes #SpartanStrong
In collaboration with Anderson’s Bookshop, Katherine Marsh, award-winning author, came to speak today. She engaged the students in a presentation that included information on her family’s history in Ukraine, writing, and her new book. She was amazing!
