Dearest Lakeview family,

This has been such a difficult week.  Please know that writing this letter is not something we ever thought we would have to do and I dare say are equipped to do but as your friends, fellow Moms and your PTSA, we wanted to reach out to share some important information about precious Ainsley and the Carl family.

First and foremost, we hope you and yours are well.  The loss of Ainsley has definitely rocked our little community and we are now left with a huge void and tremendous sadness, our thoughts and heartfelt prayers go out to the Carl family and to each of you as together we navigate this most difficult time.  As many of you know, Ainsley’s Memorial will take place, Saturday December 2nd, at 11 am in Bellevue at the Sunset Hills Memorial Park.  The Carl family truly welcomes you and your family and has made tomorrow’s celebration of Ainsley’s life very family friendly.  A close family friend wanted to pass along this message regarding tomorrow’s memorial as follows:

“It’s intended to be a celebration, with a candle lighting while a photo video plays and mural for kids to color and sign. It will be a closed casket, with Ainsley’s artwork and pink and purple everywhere. But, I’m sure there will be lots of tearful speakers.”

So, kids are absolutely welcome and definitely encouraged, but it may not be the best environment for some children so please use your own parental discretion and best judgment.

In addition, many of you have inquired and expressed interest as how you can best support and offer assistance to the Carl family.  Just recently, the PTSA was apprised of several ways that we can support the Carl family and are honored to pass the information along to you.

Memorial Funds for the Carl family:

• Memorial fund in honor of Ainsley. If you are interested in supporting – please donate here. Funds will go towards Asthma research through the American Lung Association in Ainsley’s honor.
• Fund to offset funeral costs. Those of you who are interested in contributing to the funeral costs, we have also set up a fund here.

Here is Ainsley’s obituary if you would like to share your condolences in the virtual guestbook.

Thank you all for your continued support, prayers and patience as we are all truly blessed by a community that is loving, compassionate and giving…take good care.

Fondly,
Elizabeth, Kim and your Lakeview PTSA

Well it’s that time, the beginning of the school year is officially here!  On behalf of the Lakeview PTSA we want to welcome all the new parents and students as well as those who are returning from last year. We certainly hope you had a most enjoyable summer and are well-rested and ready for an amazing 2017-2018 school year.

As the new co-presidents of the PTSA we invite you to come meet your Lakeview PTSA and learn how you can make a difference in your children’s academic and social life. We will be having copious coffee chats, meet and greets, open membership meetings and are always available to discuss ideas and answer any and all questions. Please feel free to bend our ear in the hallway if you see us as we are amiable, available and excited to be a part of Lakeview Elementary. We seriously cannot wait to make your acquaintance!

Cheers!
Kim & Elizabeth

Kim and family

More about Kim

Kim Biddle and her husband Chris and 2 boys, Miller (2nd grade) and Charlie (1st grade) live in Houghton where they are the life of the party. The boys are active in sports and after school fun as the Biddle’s home is always filled with laughter and friends. If you don’t already know Kim, she is a compassionate lady who encompasses the Lakeview mission each and every day.

Elizabeth

More about Elizabeth

Elizabeth Brooks along with husband Jason and their adorable little girl Gracie, also live in Houghton. Like many parents they are always on the go and sometimes running late. The Brooks are inviting, warm and always welcoming. Take a listen on any sunny evening and you can probably hear about 10 kiddos giggling on the trampoline and playing hide and go-seek in the neighborhood cul de sac.

Go Leopards!
