Lakeview Middle School

Lakeview is extending a heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing custodian team, led by the dedicated Anthony Upchurch. Every day, this hardworking crew goes above and beyond to ensure our middle school is clean, safe, and welcoming for our students and staff. A special shout-out to Kayla, Larry, Joey, Anthony, Chase, Ana, and Mary for the countless ways you keep our school running smoothly. Whether it’s cleaning classrooms, maintaining the hallways, or ensuring our grounds are neat and tidy, your hard work does not go unnoticed. But it’s not just about keeping things clean – this team plays a crucial role in keeping our students safe. As crossing guards during student arrival and dismissal, they provide a safe and orderly environment, making sure that every child crosses the street securely. Your dedication and care make a huge difference in our school community, and we appreciate everything you do! Thank you for making Lakeview a better, safer, and brighter place every day! #LakeviewInspires #CustodianDay #wcsinspires

POSTED: September 30, 2024 We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the staff of Warsaw Early Learning Academy (WELA) for welcoming Lakeview's National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) students for a wonderful visit! Our students had an incredible time donating books and reading to four different classrooms. It was truly inspiring to see our NJHS members engage with the future TIGERS and share their love of reading. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to see where their efforts can lead! A special shout-out to Mrs. Manduka, the WCHS Librarian, for graciously hosting us during our tour of WCHS and showcasing the new library. We also want to thank our transportation team for providing a bus, ensuring everyone arrived safely and on time. Additionally, a huge thank you to Mrs. Barrett for her meticulous logistical arrangements that made this day possible. It was heartwarming to see so many students come together for this cause, and watching them read to the younger students was a beautiful sight. Thank you, WELA, for letting us be a part of your community! #LakeviewInspires #wcsinspires #READ #Literacy

POSTED: September 30, 2024 ¡Hola todos! My name is Laysa Nocelotl (No-se-lo). I was lucky enough to have been born and raised here in the wonderful town of Warsaw, IN. Where I was also able to attend Lakeview Middle School and Warsaw Community High School growing up. After graduating from Warsaw, I attended Grace College where I majored in Spanish and Biology and had the opportunity to study abroad in Spain at the Universidad de Nebrija in Madrid. I am so excited to be able to return to Warsaw now as a second year Spanish teacher, for both Lakeview and WCHS. I am a first generation latina student and growing up I didn't have many role models that shared the same experiences, language, or culture as myself. Now returning as a teacher, I have been able to be THAT representation for other students like myself. While also being given the opportunity to share my experiences with the rest of the students and staff to promote cultural awareness and inclusivity within Warsaw Community Schools. Being able to teach in my native language and share my Hispanic heritage with students has been such a joy. Watching students get excited about Spanish and expanding their perspective on the world around them has been so rewarding and makes me so grateful to be a part of Warsaw Community Schools. In addition, in honor of Hispanic heritage month my Heritage Spanish classes have been conducting research on a famous Hispanic figure from a latin american country and their impact on the Hispanic community. #LakeviewInspires #wcsinspires

Posted: September 25, 2024 Warsaw Community Schools would like to extend our deepest gratitude to retired Lakeview Tech Jean Beeson for her continued generosity and dedication to our students. In yet another incredibly thoughtful gesture, Mrs. Beeson has donated a brand-new sewing machine to The Lakeview Sewing Club! The latest project is SEWING WITH A PURPOSE - students will be sewing kerchiefs and donating them to the Animal Welfare League (Insert collective ahhhhhhh). For many years, Jean has volunteered countless hours at Lakeview, leading Maker Club activities, teaching students and staff how to knit, and mentoring students in the art of sewing. On top of her teaching, she has gifted numerous beautiful, hand-made items to staff for bridal showers, baby showers, retirements, and birthdays—all made with love and care. We are beyond thankful that Jean will continue to share her time and talents, inspiring another generation of eager students to learn the timeless skill of sewing. Her generosity doesn't stop with us—you can also find her at Warsaw Public Library and Lakeland Christian Academy, where she continues to share her incredible gifts with the community. Jean Beeson is truly a treasure to us all, and we are so grateful for her kindness and dedication! #LakeviewInspires #wcsinspires

POSTED: September 16, 2024 Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, is a time to recognize the rich cultural history, language, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. This month-long celebration is especially important at Lakeview Middle School with our Dual-language Immersion program, where we broaden students' horizons by embracing diverse perspectives and experiences. We have an amazing team at Lakeview Middle School. Our students are given the opportunity to better appreciate multilingualism and multicultural understanding, helping them value how different cultures contribute to society. By learning about Hispanic heritage, students gain a deeper respect for cultural diversity and the significant roles Hispanic individuals have played in shaping the world around us. This month is not only about celebration but also about fostering inclusivity, one of the WCS pillars. Today, we are featuring Senora Burns: "Hola! My name is Senora Burns. I'm from Argentina, and I'm teaching 7th grade this year for the DLI program. This is my 9th year teaching for Warsaw Community Schools. I'm passionate about inspiring students to embrace the language and different cultures with enthusiasm. I love helping them to connect with the language and culture in meaningful ways." I'm sharing some pictures of my DLI Spanish 3 classes. They have been working on getting to know each other and learning about our identity, where we come from, who we are, etc. I have a lot of students from different countries/cultures, and we have been learning from each other a lot. In these pictures they are playing Human Bingo in Spanish. #wcsinspires #LakeviewInspires #DLI #HispanicHeritageMonth

See Mrs. Day (School Counselor) Mrs. Wagner (School Nurse). Lakeview plans to continue the food pantry and add hygiene products to the clothing closet this year!
