Welcome Back!
School is back in session!
I hope that everyone enjoyed their summer and is returning to Lakeview ready for another year full of enriching classroom experiences! My summer was very busy, as many of you know, as my husband and I welcomed Dominic Anthony into our family on July 6th! He is a wonderful baby and is already growing so fast!
It was great to see many of you at Open House and I look forward to working with all of you when I return from my maternity leave on October 4th!
See you soon!

RJR 2010
This past Sunday was the official Ride Janie Ride event. It turned out to not only be a beautiful day weather-wise, but a wonderful ride, as well! Over 800 riders drove the 65 mile long ride from Villa Park to Joliet. It was both amazing and overwhelming to watch the two-mile long stretch of motorcyles that lined the street. The RJR members and riders continued to be amazed by the generousity and kindness of the Lakeview students and staff. They even displayed our check on the stage! Here are a few of the pictures taken at the event.

RJR Weekend!
After two weeks of fundraising here at school for Ride Janie Ride, I am excited to say that we are finally at the weekend of the ride. On Sunday, rain or shine, the RJR participants will take off on their 65-mile journey. I know that this will be a very powerful weekend and my appreciation for this event is greatly strengthened knowing that I have the support of my colleagues and students here at Lakeview! I will post pictures from the event on my blog next week!
Looking ahead to next week, we will begin graphing both points and linear equations in math. In RtI, we will finally finish The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and complete a short project using the plot, characters, and events in the story.
