Dear Lakeview Families,

 

As we approach the Thanksgiving season, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on the numerous connections we’ve formed within our community. I am deeply grateful for the relationships that have flourished among students, faculty, and families throughout the school year.

 

One heartwarming example of these connections is lower school students adopting upper school teams and cheering them on with posters at games and other competitions. The reciprocal nature of these interactions, such as seniors mentoring younger students and sharing experiences like attending the GISA-AAA State One-Act Play Champions performance of “The Addams Family” on Halloween day, exemplifies our school’s unity. Upper school students also assisted lower school students in the morning carpool this semester, fostering a spirit of camaraderie.

 

The collaboration between our middle school students and our youngest learners is a testament to the heart of our school. When middle schoolers write books and read their stories to PreK’s three and four-year-olds, they create enriching connections that inspire both groups.

 

Another connection will be displayed later today as the school gathers to watch an epic showdown between BlazeSports and our varsity basketball teams. BlazeSports is a wheelchair basketball program that provides competitive opportunities for athletes. The game will feature one of our talented middle schoolers, John Grimsley, whose team takes on last year’s state basketball champions, the Lakeview Lions. I hope you will join us—the game begins at 2:30 p.m. in the WAC, and everyone is invited to attend.
