Mrs. Wikel (principal's secretary) - My name is Michelle Wikel, and I am the new Principal's Secretary at Lakeview Elementary School. Prior to starting at Lakeview I was in Human Resources with over 14 years of experience in education. One of my favorite things about Lakeview Elementary is the sense of community and how the staff comes together for the well-being of the students to create a safe and happy environment. In the office we will always be happy to help assist you if you have any questions regarding your child. I look forward to establishing relationships and working together as a team to provide a positive learning experience for your child.

Mrs. Jende (faculty & attendance secretary) - My name is Jen Jende and I am the faculty secretary at Lakeview. I have worked for SDSM for 11 years and this is my 2 year as the faculty secretary. What I like best about Lakeview is the great kids and families I get to interact with everyday.

Here are the Lakeview Golden Lions for this week. We had 34 examples of being safe, respectful, and engaged!

• Aidan was respectful in Art class. He offered to help pass out supplies to his classmates. Aidan followed calls for attention and listened closely to the teacher during the lesson. Keep it up, Aidan!

• Each time the teacher called for attention in Art class, Suzan stopped what she was doing and showed active listening, by turning towards the teacher, not talking, and keeping her eyes on the board. Great, listening, Suzan!

• Kaeden did a great job listening during Art class. When the teacher was talking, he turned his eyes to the board and stopped what he was doing. Nice work, Kaeden!

• I was so proud to see Lena share her personal narrative story with the class! She helped show how narrative stories share important moments in our lives, even when that moment is a bit sad. I could see how proud she was when the class clapped for her and I can't wait to hear more of her stories! Keep up the great job Lena!

• Rylee is a wonderful classmate because of her big heart. She is thoughtful toward her peers and goes out of her way to do kind things to help them out. She is aware when someone seems to be upset and makes sure to check in with that person. Rylee is truly a role model for others. Thanks for helping to make our classroom a great place to be!

• Brady has done a fantastic job of being engaged in writing with his personal narrative. He has had a positive attitude and a strong work ethic, which is demonstrated by his efforts to incorporate what he's learned from our mini-lessons. He has even asked me to check in on his progress because he is proud of how much he has written. Thanks for being so engaged, Brady!

• Matthew has shown from the first day of school that his learning is very important to him. He shows this by always being engaged in the lesson in whole group, in his independent reading time, independent work time, and when working with a partner on math games. Matthew, keep staying engaged in your learning. You will be amazed at where it takes you!

• Aksana was attentively listening during the math lesson. Her engagement during the lesson lead to her having good strategies to pull from for her work. She also knew exactly what she was supposed to be doing. Thank you for being so engaged.

• Lucy has been a great table partner during math workshop. She is patient and kind with her table partner and helps with misunderstanding and keeping them both on task. Thank you for your kindness. It shows great character.

• Ryan was engaged in his math work time. He got straight to work with his partner and stayed focused to get his work done and to do his best work. Keep it up Ryan!

• Melody was reading a book and asked me what the word “gray” said. I told her to try and read it on her own. She replied, “Well it can’t be gray because the color grey is on my name card and it’s spelled with an “e.”
Now that is showing ENGAGEMENT! Melody was using her resources and being a problem solver! Now she knows you can spell gray either way. Way to go!

Ian said, “Here you can have the swing, it’s your birthday!” Way to be so kind and so thoughtful of your classmates!

• Luna really loves to play at recess. It is sometimes hard for her to stop playing! Luna learned that when the whistle blows she needs to run and line up. After we practiced she turned into one of the fastest runners to the line. Great job learning what to do at the end of recess Luna!
