Tomorrow (Saturday) night is our "A Night in Paris" Dance. Please make sure that you purchase tickets ahead of time as there will not be tickets sold at the door.

• Kona Ice is coming their final trip of the year to Lakeview on our last day of school. Kona will be here during lunch periods, and students will have the choice between the $4 and $5 options.
• As always, thank you for Kona Ice for helping us celebrate our students!

Due to the yearbook being completed late, they will not be in until the start of the school year. We will send all current 8th grade students up to North for distribution. If your student is not attending Lakeview or North next year, please let Michelle Hardesty (michelle_hardesty@plsd.us) know so that we can make arrangements to get their yearbook to them.

This is a reminder for parents/guardians who brought medication in for their student to have available during the school year. According to the School Board policy, the medication will need to be picked up by a parent/guardian on or before the last day of school, Wednesday, May 24th. Any medication that has not been picked up by the last day of school will be discarded.

If you have any questions or concerns please email melanie_thompson@plsd.us

Pickerington Lakeview Junior High parents...This year if you really want to save money on back-to-school supplies, order your kit from 1st Day school Supplies. If you think you'd get a better deal shopping at Target Walmart, or even on Amazon, don't even think about it.

1st Day School Supplies secured their inventory in the fall, saving our school up to 30% off over those big box stores, all while offering the brand names you trust and respect like Ticonderoga, Elmer's, Fiskars and Clorox. So order your 1st Day School Supplies kit early and save yourself time and money this year!

The Workforce Center is once again offering summer camps for junior high students. These are for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and include robotics, construction, healthcare, and an all-girls STEM camp. It’s an opportunity to introduce local careers to students while they are still determining their pathway. These come at no cost to the attendees. This year, we are expanding the capacity of the camps through the generosity of Lancaster City Schools. They will be providing teachers and other support. Hocking College and Ohio University will also provide instruction. The link to sign up is below.
