Vaccine Clinic at Lakeview
Here is a link to sign up for the vaccine clinic at Lakeview this week!
Sign up for February Conferences
New Swingset!
In particular, the funds for the swingset were raised by parents who worked at the concessions stands at some Brewer's games over the summer. Please stay tuned because we will be able to do this again. If we could get a few more people, we could add even more great things to Lakeview. It is the fastest way we've ever seen to fundraise, and our new swingset shows what a few, devoted people can achieve in a short time. Thank you to our PTO leaders:
Samantha Schendel - president
Ellie & Brian Genduso - treasurers
Elsa Scardino - secretary

From the Library ...
Greetings from your school library!
As we close out our first semester of the year, please talk with your student reader about school library books that they have not returned yet. At the end of the semester, we will consider books that have been overdue for more than six weeks as lost and issue the replacement cost on your student reader's Infinite Campus account.
We will continue to email overdue notices on most Fridays.
Please direct your questions to Ms. Sobolik (jsobolik@sdsm.k12.wi.us)
