Class Color Day!



I love my sixth grade homebase this year! They are so enthusiastic and we have a great time each morning in homebase. Today was Lakeview "class color" spirit day and I'm proud to say that EVERYONE in my homebase wore red!

8th grade Amplify program

Dear 8th grade parents,

As a part of our overall health and prevention program, Lakeview Jr. High School will sponsor the Amplify Youth Development Program for our eighth grade students during the 2010-2011 school year.

The Amplify Program is designed to provide junior high school students with information and resources to properly deal with relationship issues before dating begins. It is our sincere belief that properly educated adolescents are much more likely to make good decisions, develop healthy relationships and postpone involvement in sexual activity.

The Amplify Program will be presented to students at Lakeview during health education classes. Though not every student is enrolled in health class, all eighth graders will participate in the one week program at some point in the school year.

In preparation for the Amplify Program, a special parent presentation will be held at Lakeview on Tuesday, October 12th at 6:30 pm in the IMC. This presentation is designed to educate parents about the Amplify program and to give parents resources and information to help talk to kids about the issues of sexuality education. While kids will learn these things during health class, parent involvement and discussion at home is key.

If you have any questions at all or would like more information, please feel free to contact me. In addition, you can get more information about the Amplify program as well as parent resources by visiting http://www.amplifyyouthdevelopment.com
