Lakeview Middle School

Current and future Lakeview students, here is a unique course option for you to consider! In Mr. Weaver's PLTW Design & Modeling course, students learn how to use modeling software, 3D printers, and other engineering tools to solve problems including ID tags and skimmer cars. If they have spare time, their creations are limited only by their imaginations. The pictured students created spinning top toys, post-it dispensers, Harry Potter wands, jewelry and pencil holders, a game-controller stand, and a mug. Soon, they'll start designing and prototyping the popular wooden puzzle block challenge! PLTW Design & Modeling is a nine-week elective available to 7th and 8th graders, where students learn how to ask questions, generate strong ideas, communicate through sketching, and build and test their prototypes. If your child might be interested in this course, be sure to add it to the course-selection sheet! Mr. Weaver is glad to answer any questions at jweaver@warsawschools.org

In case you missed the WCHS/WACC Academic Showcase last week, here the full video, which highlights the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNLt62Piw0s Leah Sprunger, Assistant Principal of the Senior Class, stated, " The event was well-attended. All 14 departments and 40 pathways were represented, as well as 5 sanctioned clubs." April Boggs, Lakeview teacher, attended with her son Jack. She added, " Tonight was so helpful; I really appreciate all the work that it took to put it on. The timing was perfect, after the scheduling sheets were given to the kids but before they had to make their choices. We walked in thinking we knew Jack's schedule already and left with some new ideas!" Laura Deal-Decker shared, “The demonstrations in each department were interesting. Ian and I left more excited about the opportunities available in high school.” WCHS Course of Study Guide can be found here: https://wchs.warsawschools.org/o/wchs/page/course-of-study-guide
