This type of training is invaluable.
Joining us are:
Shihan Christopher McDonald – Headmaster of Juko-Kai Karate & Martial Arts (and one of our very own WCS bus drivers!)
Hanshi Shihan Matthew Smith – 9th Dan (Grandmaster black belt) and Headmaster of Juko-Ryu Toide & Martial Arts Center in Warsaw.

Our Lakeview Middle School students really brought the creativity this Halloween! The costumes were next-level impressive, from the spooky to the silly to the downright inventive – we had ghosts, robots, superheroes, and even some teachers doing double-takes!
It was an unforgettable night filled with dancing, laughter, and plenty of snacks from the concession stand.
Nothing beats seeing our students making memories and having a blast. A big thank you to everyone who made this event possible: our amazing Student Council, dedicated administrators, teachers, staff, parent chaperones, and volunteers. You made the magic happen!
Halloween at Lakeview was a hit – here’s to more middle school memories and more out-of-this-world costumes next year! #LakeviewInspires #wcsinpsires

Students from the teaching pathway at WCHS were here at Lakeview Middle School to observe a day in the life of a teacher.
Moses Hackenberg, Victoria Soberanis, Kaitlyn O'Dell, Carina Diaz Tello and Rosalee Aldefer spent the day helping out in the classroom, observing, and getting a better understanding of what it means to be a teacher. They have a five paragraph experience response activity to do as a reflection for their program.
Thanks to Veronica Helser, Teaching Profession Pathway at Warsaw Area Career Center, for coordinating this opportunity.
The class is called Principles of Teaching and is a dual credit option for students through Grace College.
Lakeview supervising teachers were Mrs. Metler, Mrs. Boggs, and Mrs. Reichard.

Lakeview Middle School participated in the DiscoverME field trip on October 2, 2024, where students gained valuable insights into local industries, specifically advanced manufacturing. Through hands-on experiences, they explored a wide range of career opportunities in fields like orthopedics, automotive, and marine manufacturing, which are vital to Kosciusko County's economy. Students from Lakeview engaged in activities like a CNC machine demonstration, virtual reality training for medical education, and matching orthopedic implants with anatomy. These interactive sessions allowed them to connect classroom learning to real-world applications and make informed decisions about their future academic and career pathways.
