Our annual fundraising campaign, Stallion Strong, is off to an amazing start. With 4 weeks to go, we have hit 83% of our goal of $85,000. Amazingly, we got there with participation from less than half of the student’s families. As a reminder, Stallion Strong is our ONLY fundraising campaign of the year - we are not going to ask you to sell wrapping paper, or candy, or do any sort of dance-a-thon. We are just asking for a one-time contribution, the recommended amount is $150 per student, but ultimately our our goal is 100% family participation at any level of donation. So here is your chance - Donate today! Help us fund all those little extras that make Lakewood Elementary so great! In case you needed an extra level of motivation, there will be a pizza and popsicle party for your child’s class if they have the highest participation in the school! And new this year we are offering an evening reception with Principal Thompson for donations $500 or above. So don’t wait - check this one off your list!

We hope you'll join us as we celebrate the future of Lakewood at LECPTA's Lakewood 3000 Auction Party on Friday, November 10 at the Hall on Dragon. Purchase your tickets next Thursday, September 28 at 9AM. Follow @Lakewood3K and @LECPTA on Instagram or visit the website for the ticket link at that time.
