Coin War for Leukemia Lymphoma Society
Last year, Lakeview raised $2000 for the Leukemia Lymphoma society, an organization that is dear to the heart of a Lakeview staff member. We had an assembly to kickoff the coin war that will run from from now until Spring Break. All funds will be donated to the LLS cause. Please support the effort by bringing your spare change (or maybe a few bigger donations as well). There will be a pizza party for winning grade level in this coin war.

Forward Test for Grades 3-5
All students that take the Forward exam need working headphones. Please check with your student to see if all headphones are working correctly. If not, please purchase a simple set of headphones for students to have at school. Some headphones have been lost or no longer work.
We ask that you please make sure your student is in school each day of the testing so that students do not need to miss additional class time for makeup testing. We will need everyone back right away on the first day back after spring break, which is Monday, April 3. If you have any questions about Forward testing, please contact Mr. Sepersky
