Dear Lakewood Families,

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the generous outpouring of appreciation you have shown our teachers and staff. Your kind words, thoughtful gestures, and continued support truly mean so much to our team.

A special shout out goes to our incredible teachers for their flexibility and quick thinking during the recent inclement weather and power outages. Even with these unexpected challenges, our team remained focused on keeping things moving for our students with care and professionalism. We are so fortunate to have such a strong and dedicated staff.

The next few weeks are filled with exciting events, celebrations, and important moments as we prepare to close out the school year. We look forward to finishing strong and sharing these special memories with you.

Thank you again for being such a vital part of our Lakewood community.


Stallion Strong,

Principal Thompson
