Thank you to Brandi and Coley Neider for keeping this tradition alive and taking the time to bring these students to the woods to teach them about tree species, and select trees for our school.
December is National Stress-Free Holidays Month! 🎄 While this season brings joy, it can also bring stress. Remember to take time for yourself. Here are a few tips to keep your holidays bright and manageable:
✨ Adjust traditions if they feel overwhelming
✨ Learn to say “no” to extra commitments
✨ Stay organized by planning ahead
✨ Talk about your feelings—don’t keep them bottled up
✨ Make time for self-care
If you or a loved one needs support, call #CareSolace 24/7/365 at 888-515-0595 for confidential help finding a mental health provider.

I heard the big guy might make a visit from the North Pole. Hopefully, the Grinch behaves himself and doesn't get in the way.
Hope to see you there!
Mrs. Davis, Mr. Mathews, and our students have been working diligently on our morning announcement videos. I’m thrilled to share the attached video of an announcement from this week for you to see!

Lakeview High School wants to give a massive Honker Shoutout to junior, Matthew Finetti, the newest member of the state OSAA Student Advisory Council!! Matthew is a Varsity Football, Basketball and Track Athlete, as well as fantastic student in the classroom.
To be chosen for this council, Matthew had to fill out an extensive application, then interview with members from OSAA. When asked what was his largest concern, he discussed the scheduling and transportation issues involved in small, rural districts such as Lakeview. He reminded OSAA that our athletes have to travel 3+ hours to games during the week, while many other districts in metropolitan areas travel 20 minutes. We are so excited to see Matthew’s contribution to change for athletics across the state.
Matthew is the son of Chris and Abbi Finetti. He is actively involved in his 4-H group, Thomas Creek Livestock, where he is a junior leader and shows in the swine shows yearly. Upon graduation next year, Matthew wants to follow in father’s footsteps and be an electrician or receive a degree in construction or business management.

Happy Fall Elementary Parents,
We are excited to celebrate fall with our students this Thursday. We are hosting a bonus day with a fall festival theme at Fremont and A.D. Hay Elementary. We encourage our students to wear fall colors if they would like but please do not send Halloween costumes to school, as we are not hosting a costume dress-up at school.
Just as a heads up, many of our students are arriving at school up to 45 minutes before the first bell rings and even before our staff arrives. Please make sure your students are dressed appropriately for the early morning weather. All students are expected to go outside for recess for exercise and fresh air in temperatures above 20 degrees.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to seeing you at Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences on November 7th and 8th.
Thank you for your support!
Mrs. Warner
Elementary Principal
