Congratulations to all of the Hawks who shined bright in the talent show on Friday! You all did an amazing job, way to go!
The first Friday in May is School Lunch Hero Day, dedicated to those who make the cafeterias and the schools a better place to be! From the first time through the cafeteria line, the lunch hero has more than nutrition on their minds. The well-being of every child is important to them. Keeping students safe, happy, and providing them with good and delicious food is also a priority. What was your favorite school lunch? Do you remember the smiling face who served it to you? #SchoolLunchHeroDay
Today our 5th graders visited WLMS for a tour, learned about scheduling, enjoyed a fun WLMS trivia game, and got to see future peers!
Celebrate them by stopping by the White Lake DQ tonight between 5-8pm. They will also have blizzard packs available for purchase, which include 5 free blizzard coupons for just $20.
May is mental health awareness month! To honor this, Lakewood's PBIS/SEL committee is holding a spirit month where we recognize this special month on each Friday. This week, we are wearing green, which is used to symbolize growth and renewal. Green also represents our "good to go" or "calm" zone. See if your student can tell you about the zones of regulation.
Let's get excited for the HVS Elementary Art Shows!
Lakewood Hawks' art will be on display during May, with receptions 5/15 6-7:30 PM, at HV Council of the Arts (205 W. Livingston Highland, MI 48357). We hope you can join and see the wonderful work our young artists have created!
Lakewood Families,
Tonight’s Skate Night has been canceled. Rolladium has had some severe roof damage and cannot host tonight.

In honor of Earth Day, an environmental specialist from Priority Waste, visited Lakewood today to teach our students about the 3 R's, what to place in recycling bins, and where items go once they are placed on the curb.
Lakewood is thankful this year for the wonderful collaboration between our math coach, Mr. Walker, and our classroom teachers. Together they work to implement new, fun ways to teach students about math! Here you can see Mrs. Frazier's Kindergarten students playing basketball while learning new math skills!
Fifth graders in Mr. Petredean's class were on a roll this morning while striking up some fun in bowling!
Best of luck to our 3rd and 5th grade students who will be taking the M-STEP again this week. Remember to take your time, re-read if needed, and put in your best effort and you'll do great!!
Today is Earth Day!! Here are 10 things you can do for our planet any day, because Earth day is everyday!
1. Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources and landfill space.
2. Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
3. Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.
4. Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
5. Choose sustainable. Learn how to make decisions that prioritize environmental and social responsibility .
6. Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
7. Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
8. Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
9. Don't send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home.
10. Bike more. Drive less.
This week, our 4th grade students will be taking the language arts M-STEP and our 5th graders will be taking the math M-STEP. These assessments will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Best of luck to all of our students!!

Spring is in full swing here in Michigan, if you weren't able to tell the last few days! Our hallways are decorated to welcome the changing season and encourage our students as they gear up for testing season. Hopefully we will get to enjoy some sunny weather soon! Like the banner says, April showers bring May flowers!
Happy para professionals day to all the paras out there! We are luck to have so many amazing paras here at Lakewood, including in our resource rooms, office, and other areas of our building! We wouldn't be able to do what we do without all of you!
