Principal's Message:
I am absolutely thrilled to be the new principal of Lakeview Elementary. This is my 20th year in education, and although I am new to Lakeview, I have been a South Milwaukee "Rocket" for many years. I was a teacher in the school district for 14 years, serving the students of Blakewood, E.W. Luther, and the Middle School. During the 2017-18 school year, I was an administrator in the Whitnall School District, and I am excited to return home to South Milwaukee to serve the students at Lakeview. I know firsthand how dedicated and talented the staff of Lakeview is, and I look forward to serving with them.
My favorite quote is this:
"A bird does not sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song!"
(Joan Walsh Anglund) As families and educators, we are working together to help every child find his or her song to sing in life. At Lakeview, that means we
• Nurture students' natural curiosity and excitement for learning,
• Ensure that students develop a firm foundation of basic skills and knowledge,
• Teach students to be effective information gatherers, problem solvers, decision makers, and communicators,
• Promote, by example and instruction, our district-focused character traits of respect, responsibility, kindness, honesty, and perseverance,
• Provide a safe, supportive, and creative environment for students and staff.
Together, we make a difference!
