Thanks
to all the rising sixth-graders and their parents/guardians for
coming out to Lakeview's Transition Night on May 19 at 6 PM.
The families enjoyed a spaghetti dinner, a tour of the school
and sixth-grade hall, and the rising sixth-graders were given a
notebook full of paper and a novel. 
On
Friday, May 8, Lakeview had a pep rally to arouse excitement for
great performance during PASS testing. During the pep
rally, Dr. Hall KISSED A PIG to fulfill her promise to the
students that if they met their reading goal for the year, she
would kiss a pig. The students were supposed to read
enough books for the PAWS for Reading cards to go around the
entire cafeteria, down the Related Arts hallway, and back down
the hallway to the cafeteria. Wow - they met the challenge!Wilbur, the pig, arrived in the gym riding in his
wagon bright-eyed and ready for his kiss. 
Thanks for coming out for our annual Community Night that was
sponsored by the Science and Math Departments on Thursday, April
30, 2009 from 5 - 7:30 PM. A spaghetti supper was
served from 5:15-5:45 PM. There were so many
activities! The Roper Mountain Scientist on Wheels was
here at 6 PM, and demonstrated many science experiments to the
audience. Many students
participated in the Stained-Glass making. The
Stained-Glass making was done by The Glass House, which is owned
by Elizabeth Hart. If you would like any more pieces of
her work, she is located at 208 Gridley St. in Greenville and
may be contacted at 271-0993. The stained-glass pieces are
beautiful! She makes the following pieces:
cardinals, bluebirds, hummingbirds, butterflies, sun and moons,
etc. Whatever you want, she can probably make. There were
