Assistant Principal's Message

Every new school year brings new visions, goals and challenges. As we begin the new school year 2007-2008, we envision how to improve the excellent results we accomplished at Lakeview Elementary last school year.

Just like in the past, our crew will work diligently to provide our students with opportunities to enhance their academic achievements. We will work together to learn innovative ways on how our students can be successfully taught despite the challenges we may have to face in the forth coming months.

As educators we will continue to work on achieving the “dream”.

I would like to leave you with an insert from Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech delivered on August 28, 1963:

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deep rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

At Lakeview Elementary School we are committed to Equity and Excellence!

Let’s have a wonderful school year!

Mrs. Beatriz Coto

Assistant Principal
