Dear Families,
The month of May has
been another busy
month at Lakeview. A
special thank you to
all who volunteered at
the Vaisakhi Lunch.
We are very proud of
the way our students
performed on the track
and in the stands at the
district track meet.
Great sportsmanship
was shown by all.
Our students also did
very well in the Gauss
and Abel Mathematics
test that was written
this month.
May was also Camp
month as Lakeview
students visited two
different camps.
Great experiences had
by all.
We conducted our
Earthquake drill and
school wide release.
Most experts agree
that the Big one is
coming, just when, no
one knows. As we at
school take steps to
prepare our staff and
students to deal with
an Earthquake, it is
important to be pre-
pared in your home as
well. Earthquakes are
a common occurrence,
rumbling below the
earth’s surface thou-
sands of times every
day. But major earth-
quakes are less com-
mon. Here are some
things to do to prepare
for an earthquake and
what to do once the
ground starts shaking.
Safety Tips
Have an earth-
quake readiness plan.
Consult a profes-
sional to learn how to
make your home stur-
dier, such as bolting
bookcases to wall
studs, installing strong
latches on cupboards,
and strapping the wa-
ter tank to wall studs.
Locate a place in
each room of the
house that you can go
to in case of an earth-
quake. It should be a
spot where nothing is
likely to fall on you.
Keep a supply of
canned food, an up-to-
date first aid kit, 12
litres of water per per-
son, dust masks and
goggles, and a work-
ing battery-operated
radio and flashlights.
Know how to turn
off your gas and water
mains.
If Shaking Begins:
Drop down; take
cover under a desk or
table and hold on.
Stay indoors until
the shaking stops and
you’re sure it’s safe to
exit.
Stay away from
bookcases or furniture
that can fall on you.
Stay away from win-
dows. In a high-rise
building, expect the fire
alarms and sprinklers to
go off during a quake.
If you are in bed,
hold on and stay there,
protecting your head
with a pillow.
If you are outdoors,
find a clear spot away
from buildings, trees,
and power lines. Drop
to the ground.
If you are in a car,
slow down and drive to
a clear place. Stay in
your car until the shak-
ing stops.

Battle of the Books
In April, our Grade 6/7 students have been participating in Battle of the Books, a Burnaby reading pro-gram aimed at improving compre-hension and appreciation of differ-ent types of fiction.
Students were put into teams, and have been reading, creating ques-tions and “book battling” for several weeks. Each team received points for correct answers. Our final school battle decided a winning team that recently competed against other schools at the South Zone Finals at Edmonds on Mon-day, May 2. Congratulations to Team Gryffindor who placed 4th in a very competitive field!
Scholastic Book Fair Update
Our 3-day Book Fair was a great success. Our net sales this year was just over $3000!
Special thanks to the parent volun-teers, students volunteers and school community for your contin-ued support of this event.

What is "I Love Water Polo"?
"I Love Water Polo" (ILWP) is Water Polo Canada’s introduc-
tory, grass roots water polo program for boys and girls ages 8
-12 (although easily adaptable for younger or older age
groups, or even adults). In a learn-to-play environment, simi-
lar to swimming lessons, participants discover the game of
water polo, and the basic skills involved in aquatic
sports. The ILWP program also helps to enhance the partici-
pants swimming, balance, and coordination skills. No prior
water polo experience is required. The only pre-requisite is
that participants should be able to swim one width of the pool.

Billets Required For 2016 Little League Canadian Championship Tournament Hastings Community Little League is hosting the 2016 Little League Canadian Champion-ship tournament at Hastings Park this summer from August 4 to 13, 2016. As tournament host, the League will arrange billeting for some of the visiting players from across Canada. This is done to provide good quality accommodations for the players and to reduce tournament ex-penses for the families of the teams. Players must be billeted in pairs and each requires a separate bed. We are reaching out to anyone that might be interested in billeting tournament players. If you are interested, or know someone who may be interested, please contact Kevin Clegg [email protected]
