This Is How We Lakeview
November 2022 Edition: Volume 4
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Food Drive, we were able to collect over 300 items to donate to the Mid-Ohio food pantry. On Monday, we will be announcing which administrator is the lucky winner and will receive a pie to face on December 20th.
We have seen an uptick in negative social media posts that are impacting the school. We recognize that teenagers need support and education to develop the skills to manage their social media use so when issues are brought to us, we try to help our students navigate the world of social media which includes reaching out to families for support. There are many ways to help your student learn to use social media sites responsibly. It's important to talk with your student about their social media use and your family rules, including consequences for too much use or inappropriate use (see the behavior matrix linked at the bottom of the newsletter). Feel free to reach out to our school counselors if you need help or support with this.
We hope that you enjoy the Thanksgiving Break and take time to relax! See everyone on Monday!

8th Grade Students to Visit Career Centers
Dear Lakeview 8th grade students and parents,
Lakeview 8th grade students have been given the opportunity to go on a field trip to Eastland and Fairfield Career Centers on Tuesday, December 13. The purpose of the field trip is for our students to see what the career centers are all about and also to do some career exploration. All students who plan to attend must fill out the Field Trip Permission Form (we sent a paper copy home with your student on Tuesday), have it signed by a parent or guardian and return it to the Lakeview main office.
Students will need to pack a lunch for this trip. If your student needs the school to provide a lunch, you must fill out the form and your student will need to pick up a sack lunch provided by our cafeteria before they leave for the field trip. Students will be charged for the sack lunch (like a normal school lunch) should they choose to use this service.
Please complete and sign the attached Field Trip form and the Google form (only if you need a lunch provided by the school). Forms must be completed and to the Lakeview Main Office by Friday, December 2.
Support the Lakeview PTO!
Get some holiday shopping out of the way and support the students and staff at Lakeview Junior High! Please see the attached Link for the Paparazzi Holiday Bling Fundraiser. The fundraiser will go until December 3rd. The link is after the image, just click there.

- Our third Club Day of the year included new clubs like Best Self Club (hair and nails) and Gardening. Students have started to propose new clubs to add to future Club Days, which is great to see! In December, students will have the chance to attend our Dodgeball Tournament on the last day of school or attend a club session. Club offerings will be limited due to the Dodgeball Tournament.
