PTO 2012 Dodgeball Tournament!

Lakewood’s 5th annual double elimination Dodgeball Tournament is right around the corner!  Mark your calendars for March 17, 2012.  Games start at 10:30 AM and go until the last teams are standing!  Due to the unbelievable turnout last year, we have made some major changes in order to make it a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Only preregistered teams will be allowed to play this year.  There will be no onsite registration available.  All of the brackets will be put together beforehand and available to view upon arrival. 

Register and pay by Wednesday, March 14, to guarantee your team a spot.  The team fee will be $12.  For the tournament, all paid players will need to cross their names off of our alphabetical list of players. For this reason, all players must be included on the team roster on your registration form. In case of illness, or unforeseen emergency, please have your substitute player register under the player’s name he/she will be playing for. If you have any questions, please call Ericka at 262-945-2942.

The new changes will allow for easier and faster check-in, allowing us to start the tournament on time. That being said, if your team isn't all there when it’s your turn, you are able to play, but with only those that are there. Unfortunately, there is no rescheduling.

Come and play or come and support your favorite teams!  Spectators 4 and under are free, everyone else is $1. Each bracket will have a winner!  Winning team members in all three brackets will be awarded cash prizes this year!  See you there!

Stop Motion Anti-Drug Videos Win Second Place!

Our grade 6 stop-motion Anti-Drug Videos took second place in the Kenosha County Alcohol, Tobacco, & Other Drugs contest. The students whose videos were submitted will receive a group trophy, $100 to use for our classroom(s), a picture in the Kenosha News, and a letter sent home to their parents inviting them to a brunch at Tremper High School on March 31, 2012. The prize will be presented at the brunch. Thank you again to Mr. McCanna for working with the sixth graders on this project!

Two Cheeseburgers with Everything!

Sixth grade art students studied Swedish artist Claes Oldenburg, known for his large-scale sculptures of everyday objects, including two 1962 burger sculptures entitled "Two Cheeseburgers with Everything" and "Floor Burger".  Next, the students created their own (normal sized) burger sculptures out of everything from brown paper bags for buns to white styrofoam for raw onions.  Five of the students' projects can currently be seen at Mandino's Grill here in Twin Lakes. 

 

 

 

 

 

The art class even mailed an extra burger sculpture to singer Jimmy Buffet, famous for his song "Cheesebuger in Paradise."  Mr. Buffett returned an autographed photograph saying, "To Lakewood Art Students- Fins Up!  Jimmy Buffett".
