Dear Lakeview Families,
A big shout out to two Watch D.O.G.S. This week. Thank your Brad Weinke for having a watchful eye at our site and students on Thursday, and Zac Campbell on Friday. Please consider volunteering for PTA or WATCH D.O.G.S. to help us whenever you can fit it in your schedule. Here is the NPS Volunteer Website link where you can sign up as a Lakeview volunteer.
Our hallways were decorated this week with so many amazing and clever Student Council Campaign posters. Our students did a great job getting up in front of their peers to deliver their thoughtful campaign speeches. We may have some future politicians here at Lakeview. I hope you enjoy the many photos of the posters and learning process. Congratulations to all who ran this year. Congratulations to the following 4th and 5th grade students:
President: Jessi Davis; Vice President: Emilie Nichols; Secretary: Isabella Lopez; Treasurer: Catina McKnight
5th Representative (Johnson): Elijah Mahoney; (McKinney):Carlos Garcia; 5th ALTERNATE (as needed): Allisyn Inman, Andrew Teuscher
4th Representative (Barnett): Orly Zajac; (Irwin): David Bales; 4th ALTERNATES (as needed): Madeleine Looper
If you have any suggestions, questions or concerns, please contact the school at 405-366-5899 or email me at paulap@normanps.org. Much appreciation for all you do to help our students continue to be safe.
Best Regards,
Paula Palermo
