Our mission is to ENHANCE EDUCATION and STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS within our school community
At our meeting on April 16th, we delivered a check in the amount of $30,000 to Principal Creel that will go towards the new playground. We couldn't have done this without the support of our amazing LVK8 community! It's been a long couple of years of fundraising, but we did it!
On to our next project!
Silent auction money donation delivered to Mr. Creel in the amount of $7,183.50! This money will go towards upgrades in our school auditorium!
May 30th @ LakeView K-8 Academy!
Time 2pm - 5pm
More information coming soon!

I am a mom of 2, Liam who is 10 and Natalie who is 8. Helping others is my love language, and I've made it my goal to help as many people as possible in the LVK8 community during my time on the board!
I'm a stay-at-home mom of four awesome boys: Cole (11), Calex (9), Cavanaugh (7), and Caiden (6) with a background in Interior Design and child care. I love keeping busy with projects of all kinds and am looking forward to my first year on the PTO Board working on fun things for all of these kiddos!
Hi I'm Gabby! I have 2 kids, Caiden who is 10 and Hanna who is 2. I am passionate about LVK8 and love to be a part of a community of parents who have similar passions and ideas. Hoping to get to meet all of you very soon!
I'm the proud mom of a 7 year old girl. This is my first year on the board and I am eager to be more involved in school event planning and fundraising. In my spare time you can find me spending time with family or cheering on the Milwaukee Bucks!
Hello all! Mom of 2 beautiful children. Gavin and Lilian, both LVK8 students and thriving in the educational environment that our wonderful teachers provide and nature every year. Full time worker and mom that is trying her best to give back and make our school something that we can all be proud of, and give wonderful memories to our kiddos.
Mom of a second grader. I work and volunteer in the community and come with 20+ years of experience working with at risk populations. I can craft most anything (but it will likely need to sparkle). I would love to see LVK8 events environmentally conscious when able. I have experience with fundraising, event planning, first aid, and crisis management. I like things to be cohesive, efficient, inclusive, safe and fun.
Hello! I'm Kat and I'm the mom to a lucky LVK8 kiddo. I've been volunteering with the PTO for a few years now, but this is my first year as a board member. I'm excited to help our kids have a fun and eventful year. I have backgrounds in Education and Purchasing. In my spare time you can find me building something wonky on the pottery wheel or searching for treasure on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Hello, I am Beth Dahl. I am a mom of three spunky kiddos (two of which are proud Lakeview K-8 students)! Although my free time is minimal, I enjoy reading, karaoke and kitchen dance parties with my fam! I’m excited to build more parent-teacher connections and support our Lakeview K-8 community however I can.
I'm mom to Miles (first grader) and an excited first year PTO member! I value showing appreciation for the LVK8 staff and helping create special experiences for the kiddos. My professional background is in corporate leadership and team development, and in my free time I love reading, museums, and live music
