Dear Lakeview Families,
As we move through February, Lakeview is fully back into the groove of school routines and really digging into learning. Classrooms are buzzing with thinking, problem-solving, and growth as students continue building on the strong foundation established earlier in the year. This steady momentum is essential as we head into the heart of the school year.
February is a month often associated with love, kindness, and connection—and one of the most powerful ways families can show love is through reading together. Whether it is a favorite bedtime story, a new library book, or a quick read after dinner, those shared moments matter more than you might realize.
Research consistently shows that students who read at home for at least 20 minutes a day strengthen their vocabulary, comprehension, and overall confidence as learners. Even just a few minutes of reading together helps build routines, supports academic growth, and fosters a lifelong love of learning. For our younger Tigers, hearing stories read aloud is especially impactful, while our older students benefit from discussing what they read and sharing their thinking.
As we move through these winter weeks, we encourage families to cozy up with a good book and make reading a daily habit. Thank you for partnering with us to help our Lakeview Tigers grow as readers, thinkers, and learners—today and every day.
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.
