Greetings from the PTA

On behalf of the Lakeview PTA, I would like to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year! It is going to be another amazing year at Lakeview Elementary School. We have been working tirelessly all summer to plan programs and events that are fun for your students and inspire you to become involved with PTA. We invite you to partner with us to support this year's school theme of "Making the World a Better Place." There is no better way to make Lakeview a better place than by having YOU on our team! One of the best things about PTA is that you can be involved as little or as much as you desire. We understand that not everyone can be involved with every opportunity and that is what makes PTA such a great organization. By simply joining, you are supporting Lakeview, your student, your teachers and your PTA...you do not have to volunteer to make a positive impact. I look forward to meeting you at our next General PTA Meeting & New Family Welcome on Tuesday, September 11th at 6:30 p.m.!

Warmly,

Ann DeCapite
PTA President

Special Thanks to our 2018/19 PTA Board

Uploading tips:
*If you take a series, or burst, of photos, please pick the BEST of the series and upload that one photo.
*Double-check to make sure not to add blurry, out of focus, or under- or overexposed pictures.
*Label each picture with the event, grade and student name(s).
*Upload pictures of groups of students…3-5 is ideal.
*The more submissions, the more possibilities you have to see your child’s face in the yearbook at the end of the year!

We REALLY appreciate all of your hard work! Lyndsey put in countless hours to bring our families some awesome Spirit Wear options. Hilary has dedicated her volunteer hours this year to our Box Tops & Rebates programs and has done an awesome job getting these set up as Lakeview PTA fundraisers! 

Get to know more about our Volunteers!

Lyndsey Bourne

Our family as two kiddos at Lakeview this year - Abigail Bourne in 2nd Grade and Jackson Bourne in Kindergarten.  I am originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma.  My hobbies and interests include: Crafting, Young Living Oils, planning & journaling, shopping, spending as much time with my family as I can.  A fun fact about our family is we moved back to the DFW area a year and a half ago after spending a few years in San Diego, California. We are so happy we chose to make Trophy Club our new home and feel blessed to be a part of this amazing Lakeview family.

Hilary Holcomb

My husband Randy and I have been married for 16 years.  I have two kiddos that attend Lakeview.  Halle is in the 5th grade with Mrs. Palmieri, and my son Landry is in first grade with Mrs. Frazier.  I also have 4 year old boy and girl twins named Asher and Ansleigh who attend Fellowship Friends Preschool. We have lived in Trophy Club for 6 years now.  I’m originally from the small town of Lake Jackson which is on the coast, near Houston.  Before having kids I worked as a Speech Language Pathologist.  Working with adults and teens that had suffered brain injuries was my passion!  Now a days, my passion is taking care of 4 kiddos and getting them to all their sporting events and activities on time.  I’m excited to be in charge of promoting Box Tops and Rebates this year.   I look forward to getting to know more parents and teachers, and making some new friends!
