A great way to keep reading during the summer is by participating in the South Milwaukee Public Library's Summer Reading Program. There is an option for children, teens, and adults. And it is free for everyone! Check out the SMPL Website for more information, and attend the South Milwaukee Community Art Night to kick off the Summer reading program. This event will be on June 12, 2023, from 4pm to 6:30pm at the South Milwaukee Public Library, 1907 15th Avenue.
Chromebooks:
As we approach the end of the 2022-2023 school year, it is time to take inventory of our Chromebooks and ensure we are ready for the upcoming year. Our students in grades 4K-4 will not take Chromebooks home during the summer. These devices will be checked in and stored in our schools. Your child will be assigned a Chromebook in September, 2023. Students in 5th grade will keep their Chromebooks and bring them to South Milwaukee Middle School (SMMS) in September 2023. If your 5th grader is not attending SMMS next school year, please be sure they turn in their Chromebook, its charger, and their case to their teacher or school library before the end of the school year. Chromebooks will be provided to students who attend summer school.
We will be inspecting the device for any damage and will inform you of any costs for repair or replacement of the Chromebook your child used. Be assured that our SM students are usually careful with their devices and we have worked with them to ensure the devices function well throughout the school year.
If you would like more information, please email Joanne Sobolik (jsobolik@sdsm.k12.wi.us).Golden Lions
We had 20 Golden Lions this week at Lakeview! Please read on to hear our students demonstrate special moments of "Be Safe ~ Be Respectful ~ Be Engaged".
So far for the year, we are at 728 Golden Lions and we still have two weeks remaining. Lakeview students are amazing, and we celebrate them every day.

• During our last DARE lesson, the class played a game reviewing all the material that had been learned throughout the sessions. Jaxon was very engaged in the game and participating appropriately. The fact that he knew so many answers was evidence that he was also engaged throughout all of the lessons. Thank you, Jaxon, for showing Officer Harnen how great Lakeview is!
• Throughout our reading and writing unit, Rowan has been engaged in the research and writing process. Additionally, it is evident in her writing that she listened during mini-lessons and applied what we had learned. Great job setting yourself up for success in the future!
