The Ride Janie Ride Fundraiser was a great success! Due to the big and generous hearts of the Lakeview student body, $13,000.00 was raised for three recipients battling cancer. On Monday, the Ride Janie Ride staff came to Lakeview for a special assembly, where we presented them a check and in return presented us with a plaque with expressed their gratitude. Thank you to all the students and families for their generosity.


For Wednesday, all 8th grade students need to bring a stamped envelope for Language Arts class. Please do NOT write on it!

RIDE JANIE RIDE


The students have done an AMAZING job with the school wide fundraiser RIDE JANIE RIDE which is donating money to three individuals who are suffering with various forms of cancer of the blood. One of the three recipients is a student at Prairieview and another is the brother-in-law of Mrs. Nino. The students of Lakeview have well surpassed the hopes and expectations of the teachers and administration. In addition to donating their own money, many students have taken it upon themselves to collect and/or raise money for this event. Thank you to all the students and families for the generous donations and time that has been given toward this fundraiser! For more information please visit www.ridejanieride.org.
The last day to donate money to RIDE JANIE RIDE is Monday, April 26.
