LHS football players reading to lakewood students

Happy Monday, Lakewood Families!

To recognize that March is reading month, we invited the Lakeland boys football team in to read to our students on Wednesday afternoon. Additionally, each Friday in March, we will be having a schoolwide dedicated time to drop everything and read.

Last Friday, as part of our SOAR program, we celebrated earning 12,000 tickets as a school with a spirit day. This year's spirit day was “You’re a big dill” day. Several students wore their own dill pickle attire and/or wore the color green. Students were given You’re a Big Dill coloring sheets when they came in. We decorated the cafeteria to match the theme, gave out pickle fidgets with a positive message, pickled flavored snacks, and watched the Magic School Bus movie on how cucumbers became dill pickles during lunch.

I wanted to address the afternoon carline as I have heard that some cars are cutting in line.. When arriving in the afternoon, please do not leave space between cars for other cars to cut in line, with the exception of where the driveway and parking lot meet at the stop sign. Additionally, please do not park in the parking lot and tell your child to meet you at a car. Cars should not be leaving the parking lot to cut in the car line either. Students exit their classrooms at 4:08 pm, and we are done calling all cars by 4:22 pm; which means while I know the line looks long, we move it along really fast. Thank you for your attention to this.

Have a great week!
