Yesterday, the Girls on the Run team completed their community impact project. The girls chose a group in the community that “move mountains” and decided how they’d like to make a small impact for those who do so much! This year, they chose to impact an animal shelter. Their project of choice was making specialty name tags for animals up for adoption! They also created positive messages for pet owners in waiting rooms and cards thanking the janitorial staff for their hard work! Way to go, team!! Wish them luck on their 5k this Sunday! 👟🏃🏼‍♀️🥳

Thank you to Mugs Coffee & Grub for donating coffee for the reception following the parade and helping Lakewood honor the brave who served with pride. Grateful today and every day. ❤️🤍💙 #ThankYouVeterans

Our community came together to honor those who gave so much. Proud to celebrate our veterans today! ❤️🤍💙 #VeteransDay

Today, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders attended an assembly that focuses on character education, called The NED Show. NED is a loveable cartoon character whose name is an acronym for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best.

Welcome Fall!! 🍂☕️🪵

We had a fang-tastic time showing off our costumes in the Halloween parade! 🧛‍♀️🎉

Kindergarten teachers went Koo Koo for Halloween, yesterday! We hope everyone had a great night!

The Lakewood Unified Program was honored by Special Olympics Michigan!

The Lakewood Hawks and coaches were presented with the 2024-25 Most Improved Player award. The award is given annually to schools that show growth within their Unified program and embody the three components of Unified Champion School: Inclusive Student Leadership, Unified Sports, and Whole School Engagement.

Junior Kindergarteners had fun playing with slime-a hands-on activity that makes learning fun! They strengthened their hand muscles, explored different textures, and practiced using new words to describe what they felt. This sensory play encourages creativity, supports scientific exploration, and can even help with emotional regulation.

Music class was full of tricks, treats, and toe-tapping beats this week! 🎃👻🎶

Halloween is in full swing at Lakewood! Have a safe and sweet night tonight, Hawks!!

Fears faced. Challenges conquered. Halloween bragging rights earned!

Math + Halloween = a spooktacular time! 🎃 Mrs. Anderson’s class had so much fun learning through Halloween-themed math games! 👻
