Week of May 11

Our PTO made sure that Teacher Appreciation Week was amazing. Thank you so much for your hard work, time and wonderful gifts! Many students showed their appreciation as well - thank you!

This Monday evening, the cadet band is performing at Lakeview at 7:00 P.M.
Next Monday evening, the 18th, Lakeview is hosting an Open House for 5th students during the school day and for 5th grade parents at 6:30 P.M. This is a good time to familiarize yourself with the junior high setting.
Staley the Bear is coming to visit Prairieview on Tuesday!
We will also have the opportunity to attend Lakeview's dress rehearsal of "Guys and Dolls" on Thursday afternoon.
