SCHOOL
NEWS:
Walk to School Week (WTS) is next week! The week
is sponsored by the PTSA to promote safe walking habits and exercise. Check out
the recommended safe walking routes to Lakeview here.
See your paper kidmail packet for traffic safety tips. Each day your
child walks to school during WTS week, they can stop by the raffle table at the
front of the school to enter their name for a drawing (note that we’re not
sending home tickets this year – instead they will be available at the table).
The more they walk, the more chances they have to win one of the great prizes
in the drawing on Friday. The class that has the most walkers at the end of the
week will win an ice cream party! Bus riders can also enter the raffle by
filling out a safety quiz (again, see the paper kidmail packet). On Wednesday,
Kirkland Firefighters,
It’s Dance Week too! Next week DJ Galen will be at
the school teaching the kids some dance moves. Every class will have 30 minutes
of dance class each day to get ready for the Lakeview
Hoedown Family Dance Night: Friday, Oct 9th,
Skate King and Glow bracelets: To help celebrate the
1st Lakeview Skate King night on Thursday, Oct 8th, the 6th
graders will be selling non-toxic glow bracelets for $1 at school. They will be
on sale on Wed., Oct 7 at lunch recess and on Thur., Oct. 8 at last
recess. The packages should NOT be opened at school. If you’re coming to Skate
King, save them up to glow there! Also a reminder that kids need a permission
slip to come to Skate King. Both Skate King and the bracelets are
fundraisers for the 6th grade OPI science field trip.
Passport Club: Passports and study maps were handed
out to most classes this week. Your child should have (or will soon) come
home with information explaining the program, or you can read it here.
The first Passport Check Day will be Tuesday, October 13th, from
The locations for September, which will be checked on 10/13,
are below. Extra study maps are on the rack in the school lobby:
Level 1:
Level 2:
Level 3:
Level 4: Oceania, Arabian Sea, Bering Sea, Gulf of Mexico,
Hudson Bay, Tasman Sea, Caspian Sea, Black Sea, Red Sea, Bay of Bengal.
Level 5: Sahara Desert, Kalahari Desert, Great Victoria
Desert, Andes Mountain Range, Himalaya Mountain Range.
Fitness Calendar program: The vision statement
of the Lake Washington School District Physical Education Program is:” All
students develop a personal commitment towards a healthy, active
lifestyle.” This year in PE we are continuing a program I introduced last
year; monthly
fitness calendars. Students have been learning about fitness calendars in
PE and will have an opportunity to earn a special fitness medal at the final
assembly at the end of our school year. When a student records physical
activity (not PE) three times each week for a month, they may select a treat
from the Fitness Calendar Treasure Box when they bring the calendar to PE.
Students that complete 8 of the 10 possible fitness calendars during the school
year will receive special recognition at our all school assembly in June.
Calendars may be printed off the Lakeview website or are available in the file
by the gym door. Please remember to sign your student’s calendar. Please talk
with your student about participating in this activity as a family! Thank
you! ~Mrs Knight (nknight@lwsd.org)
Bicycle Safety Program: All 4-6th
graders will participate in the Bicycle Safety Program sponsored by The Cascade
Bike Club from October 5-23 during their P.E. class. They will learn about bike
safety and will ride bicycles (with helmets and surgical caps) through a course
designed by the CBC. If your student would like to wear their own
helmet, please have them drop it off in the gym on the day of their PE
class. Please note that we may close the gate to the “Student pick up”
area after
Polite Pumpkins: Lakeview will be focusing on
kindness through October with “Polite Pumpkins”. Each classroom will award 1 or
2 paper pumpkins at the end of every day to
students who were especially kind that day. At the end of every week each
teacher will hold his/her own drawing and one child from each class will get a
baby pumpkin as a prize. Donations of baby pumpkins are appreciated! They
may be sent in to class with your child.
PTSA Meeting Minutes: Read them here.
Thank you to all the staff (which was most of it) and parents who attended .
Emergency prep information: If you have a child
with a life-threatening condition and/or a food allergy, don't forget to
make up an emergency box that contains the items they would need in order to
get by if they were to be at school for an extended emergency stay. If this
includes medication, you must include an authorization form and the box will be
stored in the nurse's office. Make sure to let your child's team know about the
box! To get an authorization form, go to: http://www.lwsd.org/Parents/Student-Health/Pages/Student-Health-Forms.aspx
