Wrapping Up the Week (10/23)!!!

Posted Date: 10/23/26 (04:00 PM)

 Our wonderful week at Lakeview! 🦁

From exploring nature to learning how to stay safe, our Lions have had plenty of opportunities to learn beyond their usual classroom routines this week! Fourth grade visited Honey Creek, sixth grade explored Leonard Springs, and every student participated in fire safety lessons. A big thank-you to everyone who helped make these experiences possible!

Looking ahead, students in grades 3–6 will begin their first ILEARN Checkpoint next week. We’ll also have two fun events next Friday: our Picture Day and our annual Halloween Sing-Along! Be sure to prep your students to get ready for a lot of learning, a little laughter, and some Halloween spirit at Lakeview next week!
