Press Release

WARSAW — Lakeview Middle School partners annually with Combined Community Services and asks, “What can we do?”

This year, Lakeview showed up in a big way for others in need in the community.

Bryon Weinstein reached out to CCS, a local agency in the community that helps local families that are in need. That agency gave Lakeview a list with the ages of children in a family and their Christmas wish lists.

Lakeview set a goal to raise $1,000. They hit their goal and doubled it, raising over $2,000. This allowed Lakeview to adopt five families in the community.

“We can imagine how those little faces will light up on Christmas Day, but we don’t need to imagine the relief on the faces of parents,” said Emily Day, Lakeview Middle School counselor. “When the gifts were delivered and a parent saw that Lakeview had included a gift for her, the mom broke down in tears.”
