POSTED: January 14, 2025 * Lakeview Garden Club Update! * After school, Jaylen and Ava explored the fascinating world of houseplants at Lakeview Garden Club, sponsored by the amazing Mrs. Lynn Studebaker! They learned about a variety of propagation techniques, including soil propagation and water propagation, while also diving into the basics of houseplant care. Our budding botanists are now conducting an exciting experiment to determine which propagation method—soil or water—will lead to faster root growth. The results of their hands-on learning will help shape their understanding of plant care and the science behind propagation. Big thanks to Mrs. Studebaker for inspiring our students to grow their knowledge, one plant at a time! Stay tuned for updates on their experiment and progress! #LakeviewGardenClub #StudentExplorers #HandsOnLearning #PlantPropagation #GrowWithUs #LakeviewInspires #WarsawInspires

Posted: January 13, 2025 We are beginning to prepare for the 2025-26 school year. Here are some important dates for parent meetings. More specific grade level information will be coming. Mrs. Day #LakeviewInspires #WarsawInspires

Posted: January 13, 2025 Greetings, Our apologies for the late notice. We posted this last week, but some parents were not able to see it. Please pay special attention to the Academic Showcase for 8th graders at the HS on Thursday (1/16). Tomorrow (1/14/25), the high school counselors will be at LMS to present to 8th grade students important information about scheduling for high school and the new diploma requirements. On Thursday (1/16/25), you and your student will have the opportunity to visit the high school to learn more about the classes offered and diploma requirements. There will be a 20 minute minute video (on loop) in the auditorium for 8th grade parents about high school. Please see the attached flyer from the high school. Then, students will be able to input their course selections into the PowerSchool Portal. Once selections have been inputted, course selection sheets can be turned into the main office at Lakeview. On February 13th, each 8th grader will meet individually with a high school counselor during their science class to review their selections. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Day. ​#LakeviewInspires #WarsawInspires

POSTED: December 20, 2024 🎄 A huge thank-you to former Lakeview Tech, Mrs. Jean Beeson, for wrapping up this semester with the gift of sewing—and for teaching our students to sew with a purpose...or should we say, a "PAW-pose!" These talented students crafted and donated adorable kerchiefs that have been gifted to our local Animal Welfare League and even to BRUNO—Mr. Nathan Patterson's four-legged bestie and official Science sidekick. This holiday season, we're reminded that generosity comes in many forms—like tiny stitches that warm hearts (and furry necks). Merry Christmas to all who helped make this project a success! #LakeviewInspires #WCSInspires #WarsawInspires #SewMuchLove #BrunoApproved

This luncheon wouldn’t have been possible without the collective effort of so many dedicated individuals. It takes a village, and at Lakeview, we’re so proud of the one we’ve built.
