Our third, fourth, and fifth graders enjoyed a day at the Pittsburgh Zoo for the Wild Investigations program.  The day was sponsored by Midwestern Intermediate Unit #4.  Our students attended with other gifted students from MIU #4 schools.  It was a great day of learning along with seeing many animals!

Four Lakeview students earned Undefeated Champion honors in the game of LinguiSHTIKS: Tanner Powers, Cole Kudiak, Quinten Becki, and Anderson Kaltenbaugh.

The Junior Division team of Cole Kudiak, Quinten Becki, Jacob Barcheck, and Jon Frey also had an incredible showing, earning First Place in the State.

In the game of Equations, Jacob Barcheck and Cylas Fry-Stutzman both finished as Undefeated Champions. Jacob added to his impressive performance by also earning Undefeated Champion in On-Sets. With these victories, along with his team’s first-place finish, Jacob has qualified for the National Tournament.

The Brocklehurst brothers, Penn and Griffin, dominated in the games of Propaganda and Presidents, each earning Undefeated Champion honors. Penn achieved the second-highest score in his division in Presidents, while Griffin earned the top score in the Elementary Division.

We are incredibly proud of all 17 Lakeview students who represented our school with dedication, teamwork, and academic excellence.

Congratulations to our students on an amazing performance!
