Dear Lakeview Families,
November has arrived, bringing with it crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and the first hints of winter in the air. It’s the time of year when our playgrounds echo with laughter as students crunch through leaves (the few we have) and maybe even a bit of snow! As the temperatures drop, please help your child come prepared for outdoor recess by remembering the Big 5: hat, gloves, snow pants, boots, and jacket. We head outside whenever weather allows, and being bundled up helps everyone stay warm, safe, and ready to play.
November is also a season of thankfulness—a time to pause and reflect on the good around us. At Lakeview, we are deeply thankful for our incredible students and for the families who share them with us each day. Your continued support, encouragement, and partnership mean so much to our staff and truly make Lakeview a special place to learn and grow.
As we look ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday, I encourage you to find small, meaningful ways to celebrate together as a family. Create a “thankful jar,” take a walk to notice signs of the changing season, bake something special, or share a story from your own childhood holidays. These simple activities help build lasting memories and remind us of the joy in togetherness.
Before we break for the holiday, don’t miss one of our favorite Lakeview traditions—the 4th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Tuesday, November 26! All families are invited to join the fun as our students share their creative “floats” and Tiger pride in this festive celebration.
Important Dates to Remember:
🧡 November 26 – Early Release Day & 4th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
💛 November 27–28 – No School: Thanksgiving Holiday
From all of us at Lakeview—thank you for being part of our Tiger family. We are grateful for each of you and wish you a warm, safe, and happy Thanksgiving season.
Please feel free to reach out to me anytime! You can stop in, schedule a sit-down, call or email! I look forward to working alongside you to help your student be successful at Lakeview.
Our Tigers Pride
At Lakeview Elementary, we believe in nurturing well-rounded students who embody our core values, represented by the characteristics of Tigers Pride. These values guide our school community and help our students grow into responsible, compassionate, and resilient individuals.
Tenacity means never giving up, even when things get tough. At Lakeview, we encourage our students to keep trying and to find creative solutions to problems. We believe that determination helps our students achieve their goals and learn from their experiences.
Integrity is about being honest and doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. We teach our students to be truthful, fair, and trustworthy. By showing integrity, our students build strong relationships and earn the respect of others.
Grace involves treating others with kindness, respect, and empathy. At Lakeview, we emphasize the importance of understanding and appreciating different perspectives. We encourage our students to be polite, supportive, and considerate in their interactions with others.
Endurance is the ability to keep going, even when faced with challenges. We help our students develop the resilience to handle setbacks and to stay focused on their long-term goals. Endurance helps our students learn that hard work and perseverance lead to success.
Responsibility means being accountable for our actions and making positive choices. At Lakeview, we teach our students to take ownership of their learning and behavior. By being responsible, our students contribute to a safe and supportive school environment.
Strength is about having the courage to face difficulties and to stand up for what is right. We encourage our students to be confident and brave, both in their academic pursuits and in their personal lives. Strength helps our students become leaders and role models in our community.
Together, these values form the foundation of Tigers Pride at Lakeview Elementary. By embracing tenacity, integrity, grace, endurance, responsibility, and strength, our students are prepared to succeed in school and in life.
