Greetings from the PTA

Hello, Lakeview Families!
It is hard to believe that it is already October! Your Lakeview PTA has enjoyed welcoming students, parents, new families, teachers, and staff back to the Lakeview campus and hopes everyone is settling into the rhythm of a new school year.
 
A HUGE "Thank you!" to Lyndsey Bourne and her team for distributing our PTA Sponsored Grade Level T-shirts to EVERY Lakeview student last week!
 
Carrie Davis and her team of talented volunteers deserve a "Shout Out" for making the Lakeview Homecoming float such an incredible experience for our staff and students. 
 
Your PTA has continued working hard to bring you an exciting lineup of events for October. So, please MARK.YOUR.CALENDARS!
 
Join us for an honest and transparent presentation on Drug Awareness and Intervention from the Coordinator of Counseling Intervention Services at Keller ISD, Marcene Weatherall, on Tuesday, October 9th at 6:00 p.m. She is a MUST see! > Click here for details.  PTA Reflections with Art Night for your students will run concurrently with the Parent Program Series. Details on National Walk to School Day, the Bobcat Dash Pep Rally, Spooky Skate, Red Ribbon Week activities, and the Character Parade and Halloween Sing-Along can be found on the PTA website or the Lakeview Website.

It is truly an honor to serve our incredible Lakeview community! I look forward to seeing you during our incredible events this month. 

Warmly,

Ann DeCapite
PTA President

Fundraising Update

Bobcat Dash:

The Bobcat Dash is Lakeview's major fundraiser for the year and helps the PTA, in collaboration with the school, to provide programs and activities for our students, parents, and staff. The proceeds go directly to Lakeview Elementary PTA to benefit PTA activities and Lakeview Elementary!

Survey Says! On Wednesday, you will receive an email from Dr. Seltzer inviting you to participate in a survey to have a role in determining where the PTA can efficiently spend funds raised this year from the Bobcat Dash.  We will officially announce our goals at the Bobcat Dash Pep Rally on October 19th.

Yearbook

Parents: YOU are the photographers for the school yearbook! 
 
Two ways to upload your photos:
1.) PC: go to the Herff Jones eShare site at www.hjeshare.com and enter the school code: Lakeview 
2.) Smartphone: Install the Herff Jones eShare app for Android or iPhone to upload pictures directly from your smartphone. School code: Lakeview

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!
