Winter Update - February 26, 2024

Dear Lakeview Family,

 

     Congratulations to our girls’ and boys’ basketball teams for their wins at the GIAA AAA Elite Eight basketball tournament that advances both teams to the Final Four tournament Wednesday at Georgia College and State University. This is a huge accomplishment for our basketball program, and players and coaches both deserve credit and thanks for these big wins. I look forward to what happens this Wednesday. It was a great weekend to be a Lion!

 

     The annual Lakeview auction is March 9, and I hope you have made plans to attend this fundraiser which is a great event for parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends. Come prepared to bid and buy! Many thanks to our volunteer auction chairs – Ashley McGraw, Maggie Griffin, Shelby Silcox, Staci Vinton -- and DeAnna Browne, Lakeview’s director of annual giving and marketing. Auction details.

 

     On Thursday at 9:40 a.m. we will bring back the schoolwide International Assembly, a celebration of our diverse enrollment. Thirty-two countries will be represented in songs, dances, and a student fashion show with traditional clothing from around the world. Members of the Lakeview band and orchestra will perform, and there will be a sampling of international breakfast foods in the WAC Lobby for parents and faculty/staff to enjoy. All parents and guests are invited to attend!

 

     It’s that time when we begin making plans for the upcoming school year. Your child’s re-enrollment contract(s) are in the Lion Portal and need your immediate attention to secure your child’s spot for next year. If you have any questions about your contract, please contact Jennifer Camarco at

Jennifer.camarco@lakeviewacademy.org.

 

     If you have not heard the news, we have plans to build a Lakeview Arts Center that will accommodate instructional and practice space for ALL arts programs for ALL students. Performances will continue to be staged at the Downtown Center theater. We are tremendously excited about this much-needed addition to our campus and ask that you make a gift of any size to the Imagine Capital Campaign. Learn more about the building and make a gift. Questions? Please send them to Imagine@lakeviewacademy.org.

 

     I am so grateful for our talented students and excellent teachers who come every day and make a difference in their lives and in the lives of others. Thank you!

 

Always glad to be a Lion,

 

John Simpson

Head of School
