Lakeview Elementary is pleased to offer a variety of special classes to our students outside of their core curriculum. Each week students attend Art, Gym, Library, Music and Technology to enrich their learning and development.
I have been teaching art at Lakeview Elementary for the past 18 years. It is an honor to share my love of art with my students and see their creativity on a daily basis. I look forward to my annual Art Festival where Lakeview high school students guide the elementary students in large collaborative works of art.

I have been the library/media center aide at Lakeview Elementary for 26 years. As the elementary library aide, I enjoy working with young children and instilling in them a love of reading! Above all else, I try to encourage students to share kindness in our school and community. My husband John and I are residents of Cortland. We have three sons: Jim, Dan, and Tom. We are proud grandparents of Quinn, Reid, and Owen. Our greatest joys are traveling and helping our community

My name is Billie Gillespie and I am so excited to be serving as the K-8 Media Specialist ! Before coming to Lakeview, I spent a few years living in both Raleigh, North Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia, where I had been teaching sixth, seventh, and eighth grade Reading, Language Arts and Science for four years, I returned to Ohio to continue my career. I received my Middle Childhood Education degree from the University of Akron. I am certified to teach Science, Reading and Language Arts to grades 4-9. I also graduated from Kent State University with a Masters of Library and Information Science. I am married to my husband Ryan. We have two children, Rylie and Landon, who both attend Lakeview Schools. I feel so blessed to be at Lakeview Middle, and I'm looking forward to an awesome year!

I have been teaching at Lakeview for 10 years. I am a graduate of Otterbein and Youngstown State University. I am married and have two children, a cat, and a dog. I love all things science and believe that the problem solving skills that it teaches apply to every aspect of life. I challenge my students to view the world and try to make it a better place- to be a positive change in the world.
