SCHOOL
NEWS:
Mark your calendars for the
Make-It Take-It(MITI) Fair coming up on Saturday, December 5. The
MITI fair has supplies and workspace for kids to make gifts to give during the
holidays, at a reasonable cost (generally below $2 per gift). Last year’s
gifts included decorated candle holders and BBQ spice rubs. Look for more info
in the coming weeks.
Also mark your calendar for
the Lakeview Book Fair coming 11/30-12/3.
Veteran’s
Appreciation: Tuesday November 10 will be
“Red, White and Blue” Spirit Day in honor of Veteran’s
Day. There will be a Veteran’s Day Assembly at
Lakeview Leopard Coffee: The 6th
grade will be taking orders for delicious Lakeview Leopard Fresh Roasted Coffee
starting next week through the Make It Take It Fair.
This is a 6th grade fundraiser for their OPI trip in spring. A local gourmet coffee
roaster is assisting with the fundraiser. We will have 1lb Leopard logo
whole bean/ground coffee available for
pre-order in Regular, Decaf, and Espresso blends for $13 per pound.
Parents may pay and put their order in and the coffee will be delivered soon
after on a Friday to your child. Checks should be made out to
Lakeview. We will also offer this at Conference Week around the school
and the Make It Take It Fair. What a great gift for the holidays! Look for a
paper copy of the order form to come home soon, grab one from the office, or
get it from the forms library. Any questions,
please contact Shelley McKee at daveshell@verizon.net.
Passport
Club: The study map for November will soon be coming home, or you can
get it on the web here.
A blank study map is here,
and the list of locations is here.
Please note that the maps and locations for each month are different, and all
students begin at level 1 each month. The next check days are Dec 8 and 9
(with makeups/retests on Dec 14).
Bulletin changes: Start
looking for the emailed Bulletin to reach you by Thursday evening. We hope this
will give everyone a chance to read it before the weekend. We’re also
tweaking the format a bit to make the news easier to take in. Please
email lakptsanews@gmail.com with any
further suggestions.

LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL ABOUT THE FLU
Like other school districts around
the country,
We want to
help our students and families stay healthy and to keep our schools open and
functioning normally during this flu season. Here are some reminders of the
things that we are doing at school that you also can do to help:
If your
student does become sick with flu symptoms:
Even children who have always been healthy before or had the flu
before can get a severe case of flu. Call or take your child to a doctor
right away if your child of any age has:
·
Flu-like symptoms that improve but then return with fever and
worse cough
·
Fast breathing or trouble breathing
·
Bluish or gray skin color
·
Not drinking enough fluids
·
Severe or persistent vomiting
·
Not waking up or not interacting
·
Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
·
Has other conditions (like heart or lung disease, diabetes, or
asthma) and develops flu symptoms, including a fever and/or cough.
Please
update your contact and emergency contact numbers at school if they have changed and plan to pick up a sick
child within the hour. Parents are advised to arrange for childcare now in case
your child becomes ill and is unable to attend school.
The district
