Lakeville's Mission
Principal's Principles
This week marks the beginning of our "count" period. This means that the State is checking our attendance records to make sure that our students are regularly attending school. Our school funding is based on the State's findings during this count period.
Next week is HOMECOMING week in Oxford! It is such a blast! Our students will participate in the Homecoming events in many different ways.
- Spirit Week - We dress up on specific days in unique ways!
- Paws - Students can purchase PAWS for .25 cents and qualify for a drawing to carry the Lakeville banner in the parade.
- Coloring Contest - Our first graders participated in a coloring contest. The high school Student Council will select the winners to be the Prince & Princess for Homecoming.
- Parade - Students, when accompanied by their parents, are invited to walk in the parade. We meet on the side street behind Oxford Methodist Church at 5 p.m.
- Tailgate Party - All Lakeville families are invited to join us on the north side of Oxford High School for a family tailgate. There will be fun games and great company.
- Homecoming Game - Students get into the game FREE with a paying adult!
On October 16th and 17th, Lakeville will be visited by the IB Re-Authorization Team. The purpose of this visit is to review our work in the IB process (so far). During the visit, the team will interview staff, parents, students, and district administrators. They will visit classrooms, look at portfolios, and review our Programme of Inquiry. We are look forward to showing this team how hard we have worked to live the IB lifestyle.
Our month ends with some ghouling experiences!
- On October 27th, the Media Center becomes a HAUNTED HOUSE for Lakeville families and friends. This is a spook-tacular experience for all of our families! Be sure to stop in and get a scare!
- On October 31st, we will celebrate Halloween with a costume parade, a Monster Mash, and class parties. This is an early release day!
We look forward to sharing a wonderful October with our Lakeville families.
Sincerely,
Kristy Gibson-Marshall
Principal
